文法: Grammar a Day - Level 3 [ て見る (temiru) ]

Posted by Diposting oleh INYOMAN INDRA S ( UNJ ) On 20.34


て見る (temiru) - to try

--- Notes ---

見る (miru) as a verb means to see, but used with another verb it means
'try to do something'.

theres a similar phrase in english: 'try it and see'

used with the -te form of the previous verb
書いてみる - try and write it
食べてみる - try and eat it (taste a bit of it to see what its like)

miru itself can be converted to a -te form to keep the sentence flowing...
like

食べてみたけど、、、
I tried to eat it, but...
(-ta is past of -te)

--- Examples ---
着てみてもいい?
Is it ok if i try it on to see?

あなたは自分で行って見るべきです。
You should go and see for yourself.

老いた故郷の両親のことを考えて見るべきだ。
You must think of your old parents at home.

やって見ようか?
Shall we have a go?
