It is used in a wide range of contexts to indicate the act of choosing among options, objects, or people. Common domains include recruitment, where firms say they selezionano candidati, and technology or everyday language, where users selezionano items from a list or menu.

Grammatical notes: the present tense forms of selezionare follow a regular pattern. Io seleziono, tu selezioni, lui/lei seleziona, noi selezioniamo, voi selezionate, loro selezionano. The verb yields the past participle selezionato, and related forms include il participio presente selezionante and the gerundio selezionando. The word selezione is the noun corresponding to the action or result of selecting.

Etymology and related terms: selezionare derives from the noun selezione, which in turn comes from Latin selectio, meaning a choosing or picking. Related words include selezionato (selected), selezionatore (selector), and selezionabile (selectable). The term is widely used in both formal and informal Italian, spanning contexts from human resources to user interfaces.

Usage notes: while se transitive, selezionare requires a direct object in most constructions (selezionare qualcosa o qualcuno). In journalism or reportage, “selezionano” may appear when reporting that a group or organization performed a selection process. In everyday language, it can describe choosing options in menus, forms, or decision-making situations.
