jdm. ein Ultimatum stellen

to give someone an ultimatum

Türkçe: birine ültimatom vermek

Not jdm. ein Ultimatum geben

jdm. ein Ultimatum geben jdm. ein Ultimatum stellen

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