Hello, When it comes to daily usage, they are used for the same contexts; televizyon izlemek / seyretmek maç izlemek / seyretmek kuşları izlemek /kuşları seyretmek and many more... However, it is possible to say that "seyretmek" is more like "enjoy watching". That's why it could be better to say; Manzarayı seyretmek (watching the view with pleasure) * "manzarayı izlemek" is also possible Also, "izlemek" could also mean "follow/stay updated" for things like news or "stalk" someone Haberleri yakından izlemek / Her gün kız arkadaşını gizlice izlemek Lastly, "seyretmek" could also mean "travel" for vehicles Araçlar trafikte hızlı seyrediyor (The vehicles are travelling fast in the traffic) These are the ones that come to mind first, there could be more out there. Hope this helps!

Seyretmek-> seyr/seyir is an Arabic world, and izlemek is a Turkish world. And another difference between them is; İzlemek can be used for "to follow". Beni izle/beni takip et. But seyretmek cannot.
