seçer

Seçer is the third-person singular present tense form of the Turkish verb seçmek, meaning to choose or to elect. It is used for answering questions about what someone regularly or currently chooses, with the subject understood as he, she, or it.

In Turkish, the present simple tense is built by adding personal endings to the verb stem. For seçmek, the third-person singular present form is formed with the stem seç- plus the suffix -er, yielding seçer. This form can take a direct object, as in “O en iyi projeyi seçer” (He/She chooses the best project).

Seçer appears in ordinary declarative sentences and can combine with other elements to express nuances of choice, decision, or selection in various contexts. Related forms include seçerim (I choose), seçersin (you choose), seçeriz (we choose), and the future form seçecek (will choose). The verb’s infinitive is seçmek, and many Turkish verbs follow this regular pattern of stem plus person-ending suffixes.

Pronunciation is roughly [ˈse.t͡ʃeɾ] in standard Turkish, with ç representing the voiceless postalveolar affricate. The root seç- carries the core meaning of making a selection, while the -er suffix marks the third-person singular present.

As a common verb form, seçer appears across literary and everyday Turkish, reflecting ongoing or habitual acts of choosing in the subject’s actions.
