Say you're trying something to see how it goes
Says you do something to try it out and see what happens.
JLPTN5
verb (て-form) + みます~ te + mimasu
try doing [something] and see
Put a verb in its て-form and add みます, related to the verb for to see, to mean you'll try doing it as an experiment. The nuance is doing something to find out the result, not just attempting a hard task. It conjugates like a normal verb, so you can also say みました for a past try or みたい to want to try.
