It depends on what type of selectively permeable membrane.
The cell membrane, which is an example of a selectively permeable membrane, allows the passage of non-polar molecules (such as steroid hormones) and small uncharged polar molecules (such as water).
semipermeable or selectively permeable.
A membrane that lets some substances pass through but not others is known as a semipermeable membrane. Other terms that describe this type of membrane are: selectively permeable, partially permeable, or differentially permeable.
The membrane is said to be selectively permeable or semipermeable when some molecules can pass through it faster than others. This property allows the membrane to regulate the passage of specific substances.
A cell membrane is found on both plant and animal cells it selectively chooses what substances may enter or leave the cell. Hence the term selectively permeable. For a more advanced explanation I recommend you research protein icebergs and the different types of transport a membrane can take part in. Example active transport
The cell membrane is selectively permeable, allowing only certain molecules to pass through based on size, charge, and other factors. Conversely, the nuclear envelope is fully permeable to molecules of certain sizes.

A selectively permeable membrane allows some substances through it and does not allow others.Allows certain substances to pass but not others
The selectively permeable phospholipid bilayer (a.k.a plasma membrane) is 'selectively permeable' because it selects which molecules it allows to permeate (pass through).

Things can pass in and out through the cell.

osmosis
Selectively permeable means that only certain substances are able pass through the cell membrane.A selectively permeable membrane is a membrane that only can be permeated by selective things, in other words a surface that lets some molecules in but not others. Like a cell membrane will let water diffuse into it :)
Selectively permeable describes a cell membrane that allows certain ions or molecules to pass through it by means of passive or active transport.
It's called osmosis. A selectively permeable membrane will only allow certain molecules to pass trough. To illustrate: If you have a high concentration of sugar molecules on one side of the membrane, no sugar on the other side, and the sugar molecules are too big to pass trough the membrane. If this is the case, then water molecules will diffuse over to the side of the membrane with a high sugar concentration. This happens because the molecules try to distribute themselves evenly in the solution. The water molecules move because the sugar molecules can't.
It only let's some materials pass in and out.
