What the difference?

Hello! Can you tell me the difference between
to seek for sleep
and
to try to sleep
Many thanks

Try to sleep simply means make an effort to sleep but [color=red]seek for sleep doesn’t make sense I’m afraid. Seek as a verb means try very hard to get or find and is used in special cases in expressions like seek peace/help, which is a sort of formal or literary use.

  1. "to seek " it is translated “to” (english-romanian)-- showing direction to something–

  2. “seek” it is translated “finding”

, so for me make sense, but i sugesting you to learn an expresion not to translate it:

you can not use as synonym seek with finding in expresions.

I was wondering if nativ english people are unable to make an analogy or they doesn`t want… :slight_smile:
