"Io provo a vedere la mia fidanzata."

Translation: I try to see my girlfriend.

[Nekosuki]

I thought it said vendere so I put “I try to sell my girlfriend”, thinking it was yet another bizarre sentence from Duolingo. This time it wasn't.

[Kmandadad]

Again, they put an A between the verbs sometimes and other times not. Still looking for a pattern.

Forse hai bisogno di nuovi occhiali.

Would 'io tento a vedere..' also be correct ?

[Prol3psis]

Yes, you could use the verb 'tentare' as well. However, this verb goes with the preposition 'di', so the correct sentence would be: "Io tento di vedere la mia fidanzata".
Provare a = tentare di

[Engi46]

It isn't grammatically correct. It should be "io tento di vedere"

[Steven193851]

Is the meaning of this sentence more likely to be about the near future (e.g. I am going to try seeing my fiancée) rather than the present (e.g. I am trying to see my fiancée)?

[kathleen.m11]

It can mean future tense. will try

[Fishandveg]

I used “I try to see my fiancé “ but it rejected the spelling, wanted fiancée. Whereas both spellings are correct - reported.

[Sedona2007]

fidanzata = fiancée but fidanzato = fiancé. Since the sentence used "la mia fidanzata", your answer can't be masculine.

[peecdro]

6 years ago, this sentence would have a different meaning than it does today. what happened to "if possible, stay home"? haha

[Shelley219488]

Can anyone explain why fiancè is not accepted? I even tried fiancee (the girl version, not that I've ever seen that spelling used in Australia).

[ThomasHell2]

Hi! You've got the wrong accent on the "e", it should be "fiancé". Also, "fidanzata" is girlfriend, so it should be "fiancée". Duo is a bit picky with accents sometimes. See also Sedona2007's answer in this thread. Hth, Thomas
