The verbs bezahlen and zahlen both mean "to pay" in German, but there are subtle differences in their usage:

1. bezahlen

• Meaning: To pay for something, often used when referring to the act of paying for a specific item or service.
• Usage: Generally used when talking about paying a bill, paying for goods, or paying someone for a service.
• Example:
  Ich muss die Rechnung bezahlen.
  ("I have to pay the bill.")

2. zahlen

• Meaning: To pay, to count, or to pay out. It's a broader term, often used in a more general sense.
• Usage: Can also be used in expressions like zahlen für (to pay for), but it’s a bit more neutral and can refer to paying in a broader sense.
• Example:
  Ich zahle mit Kreditkarte.
  ("I pay with a credit card.")

Key Difference:

• bezahlen is more commonly used when you focus on paying for something (a specific transaction), while zahlen is used more generally and can refer to the act of paying in different contexts.
