Is the following structure totally wrong (TW) or acceptable (a)
Please indicate:
" And now try yourself what you like most in Austria."
Thank you! |

Hi Klafterreith,
It's TW. There are several problems with the sentence, but the one that really stands out is the meaning.
To say "now try for yourself" implies that you haven't tried the thing yet. How could you know that you liked something the most if you'd never tried it?
I'm guessing the writer meant to say something like this:
Now try for yourself whatever interests you the most about Austria.
