How to Say ‘I'll do my best.’ in Simplified Chinese
我尽量吧。
wǒ jǐn liàng ba
[waw jeen lyahng ba]
🇨🇳 In China: 我尽量吧 is a common, slightly noncommittal reply. With the trailing 吧, it often signals doubt about whether the goal is realistic. A good doctor would pick up on that, as the next line here does.
