韓国語日記翻訳【37】
The end of the year is always busy, but the end-of-year party is fast approaching. Last year, I prepared a quiz (browser game) as a performance, but the server I rented for testing couldn’t handle access from more than 10 people, and it went down, so I had to give the quiz verbally. This time, I intend to make up for this failure.

이번에는 그 실패를 만회해 보려고 해요.

🧩 Grammar Breakdown
이번에는 means:
“this time”
The particle -에는 creates a contrast with 작년에는 (“last year”).
그 실패 means:
“that failure.”
The word 그 refers to the server failure and ruined performance from last year.
만회하다 means:
“to recover from”
“to make up for”
“to redeem”
It is often used after a mistake, loss, defeat, or failure.
만회해 보려고 해요 contains the grammar -아/어 보다, which means “to try.”
-려고 하다 means:
