てみる (To try to)

To try to

JLPT N4

Pattern

Verb (て-form) + みる

How it works

てみる means “try doing ~ (and see)”: 食べてみる (try eating it). It's about trying something out, not attempting something difficult.

Examples

このりょうりを食べてみてください。Please try this dish.
一度富士山にのぼってみたいです。I'd like to try climbing Mount Fuji once.
