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.

Noun

Welt f.

Verb

bringen

Topic

Gesellschaft und Leben

In a sentence

Die Hebamme bringt das Baby gesund und munter zur Welt.
