eine Anzahlung leisten
to make a down payment
Türkçe: peşinat ödemek
Not eine Anzahlung machen
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.
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.
