Quoting Izmr01

Think of çalýþmak as to work.

- Çalýþmayý çalýþacaðým. - I´ll work on working on it, or I´ll do my best to work on it

- Çalýþmayý deneyeceðim - I´ll try out working, I´ll see what working is like

 

Think of Denemek as coming from deney, experiment, it´s to try something out.Where Çalýþmak you´re not really testing anything, but you´re trying to do it.

 

idk if that helps but good luck!

 

çalýþmak (as "to try") needs something -a: çalýþmaya çalýþacaðým

-  I´ll try to work: "çalýþmayý deneyeceðim"  or  "çalýþmaya gayret edeceðim"

--I´ll try my best :   "en iyisini yapmayý deneyeceðim" or "en iyisini yapmaya gayret edeceðim"

Thanks for the correction, you´re right it should be

- Çalýþmaya çalýþacaðým.

 

And yes, I realize - çalýþmayý deneyeceðim -  doesn´t mean I´ll try my best but saying - I´ll try working on it - doesn´t give quite the right meaning. Thanks for catching that though!
