I wonder what he is doing to reach that...

In the bulb explanation you have a verb ''to try'' and you translate it as ''snažit se'', which is a completely different verb. snažit se = to strive + also ''try to'' is not even an infinitive, more like two parts of a verb

Is this connected to this sentence or why are you commenting here? It is confusing.

Anyway, first accept that we are teaching the Czech word here, not the English one. So it must be "snažit se", the question is just how to translate it to English. Although I do not like pointing to translation dictionaries, I think this is a good place to do that, so check, for example, https://slovnik.seznam.cz/en/?q=sna%C5%BEit%20se try (hard) is the first translation there.

But explanation dictionaries are obviously better, so let's look into Merriem-Webster, my favourite:
