I will "try" and help you.....

If I can't help someone I'll say, "I can't help you." Why would I pretend that I mean one thing by saying another. That would make me a liar.

As to which word I would place the most emphasis on if I said, "I will try and help you..." it's according to how annoyed I was at the time. But just because I'm annoyed doesn't mean I would't try. I'd just be a real b1tch about it.

"i will try my level best" or"i will try my best" would be a better one.

I have written this statement twice today, once in a private message and once in a response.

In the message I said to let me know if you have any questions and I will try to answer. In the post I said if you have any questions I will be happy to try and help.

In both cases I was not sure that I would be able to give the answer they required, because if they ask me something I don't know I can't be of help, That's why I said I would try. It means I am willing to help if I can, but I can't guarantee to give an answer.

This statement is polite enough.
When i was asked for help or anything
i would always used that word. I can't
guarantee anybody because time is unpredictable.
If i say, okay i will help you, and if i will not be
able to deliver what i promise that is bad. So the best
way is to say it politely.

hi friend if I use the wording, I will try thats exactly what I mean and do. I use this phrase if I am not sure whether I can really help but I dont want just to say no I cant help without - trying -first. Its more honest to the other person and myself if I admit I am not sure whether it will work out but I will do my best.

Not always does "try" means a polite way of saying "I can't".
I use it but not as I can"t, but I really don't like to disappoint the person if something comes up and I do not do the job.

Personally, I would not say I was going to try to help if I couldn't help. If I can't, I'll be honest. But, if there is any way possible, I will do my best, in which case I would say "I'll try".

An excellent Question!
You see, while using such a statement, I try to be transparent and honest. If I cannot help somebody in his problem, I would simply say -"I am sorry, I cannot help you out". But if there is a possibility that I may be able to help him, then I use the statement - "I will try my best to help you". My point is - even after my best efforts, if I am unable to help anyone, I would not keep him in dark, instead I will tell him about the factual position, my efforts and result.

'Trying' has always been an sincere effort to make things happen or not happen, whichever way it suits the purpose. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. But that's after my effort and for something which I can't help no matter what.
