jdn. zur Welt bringen
to give birth to someone
Türkçe: dünyaya getirmek
Not jdn. zur Welt geben
English says to give, so geben is the verb that comes to mind. German does not take it here. Welt goes with bringen, and the pairing is fixed — it is not a rule you can work out, only one you can learn.
Watch out. Common mistake: learners use it in casual conversation where 'bekommen' or 'gebären' is more natural.
