jdm. Anerkennung zollen

to pay tribute/show respect to someone

Türkçe: birine hürmet göstermek

Not jdm. Anerkennung zahlen

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