hand it to someone

uznat, muset nechat

Though I say it myself, your mother and I knew how to throw a party. I remember old Johnny Redburn saying, I’ve got to hand it to you, Ralph, you know how to make things go with a swing.

It would be in your own best interests, believe me. You have to hand it to him, he’s never short of a new idea.

He owns us, the studios from which we broadcast and the building they’re in, although by now he must have recovered whatever his original investment was several times over. You have to hand it to the man. He’s only thirty-four, and he’s done the same thing all over the Far East , taking over struggling and usually amateur or pirate radio stations like this one once was.
