eine Anzahlung leisten

to make a down payment

Türkçe: peşinat ödemek

Not eine Anzahlung machen

eine Anzahlung machen eine Anzahlung leisten

English says to make, so machen is the verb that comes to mind. German does not take it here. Anzahlung goes with leisten, and the pairing is fixed — it is not a rule you can work out, only one you can learn.

Noun
Anzahlung f.
Verb
leisten
Topic
Finanzen

In a sentence

Die Käuferin leistete eine Anzahlung von tausend Euro für das Auto.

How it is used

Means 'to make a down payment.' Neutral register, used in financial transactions. Use when securing a purchase, e.g., 'Ich leiste eine Anzahlung für das Auto.' Common mistake: using 'bezahlen' instead – Anzahlung is only the initial part.
