secilmis

Seçilmiş is the Turkish past participle adjective formed from the verb seçmek (to choose). It denotes something that has been selected or elected. In standard Turkish it is written with the diacritic i as seçilmiş; in non-diacritic text or digital contexts it may appear as secilmis. The word is used to describe nouns by indicating a result state of having been chosen or selected.

Morphologically, seçilmiş is built from the root seç- with the passive marker il and the past participle suffixmiş, signaling a completed action with a resulting condition. This makes it a versatile descriptor in both everyday language and formal writing. The related participle form seçilen exists and emphasizes the act of being chosen, whereas seçilmiş emphasizes the state of having already been chosen or elected.

Usage and context vary. It is commonly used in political and administrative language to describe elected officials, for example seçilmiş milletvekilleri (elected members of parliament) or seçilmiş başkan (elected president). In everyday or commercial language, it can describe items or lists that have been curated or selected, such as seçilmiş ürünler (selected/curated products). In literary or religious contexts, “seçilmiş” can translate expressions like “the chosen ones.”

Notes: Turkish uses diacritics for accuracy, so most formal writing writes seçilmiş. In databases, URLs, or older texts, you may encounter the non-diacritic form secilmis. The term is distinct from but related to the noun seçim (election) and the verb seçmek (to choose).
