etw. in Betracht ziehen
to take something into consideration
Türkçe: bir şeyi göz önünde bulundurmak
Not etw. in Betracht nehmen
English says to take, so nehmen is the verb that comes to mind. German does not take it here. Betracht goes with ziehen, and the pairing is fixed — it is not a rule you can work out, only one you can learn.
In a sentence
Der Chef zieht die Möglichkeit einer Gehaltserhöhung für alle Mitarbeiter in Betracht.
