Seçme

Seçme is a Turkish noun derived from the verb seçmek, meaning to choose or select. The suffix -me forms a noun that denotes the act of choosing or the result of that act, so seçme can refer to the selection process, the act of choosing, or the set of chosen items. It is used in both everyday language and more formal discourse to describe choosing among options.

In usage, seçme covers a range of contexts from simple daily decisions to formal procedures. It can refer to the act of selecting or to the outcome of that act. For example, a sentence such as “Seçme işlemi adil olmalıdır” expresses that the selection process should be fair. In organizational or educational settings, one might speak of “seçme süreçleri,” or of “seçilenler” to denote those who have been selected, such as candidates or items that have been chosen.

Seçme is distinct from, yet related to, several related Turkish terms. Seçim usually denotes a formal election or voting process, and is used in political and organizational contexts to mean election or selection through voting. Seçilmiş refers to those who have been elected or selected, while seçmen denotes voters or electors. The root verb, seçmek, underlies these terms and connects general choosing with more specific processes.

Overall, seçme is a versatile term in Turkish for describing the act of choosing and the resulting selection, applicable across everyday decisions and formal selection procedures.
