eine Forderung stellen

to make a demand

Türkçe: talepte bulunmak

Not eine Forderung machen

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