As much as possible (尽量)

Structure 尽量 + verb (do as much as possible)

尽量 (jǐnliàng) means "to do something to the greatest extent possible", as far as one can: 我会尽量早点到 = "I’ll get there as early as I can". It goes before the verb and marks an effort or intention, without guaranteeing the result 100%. Very handy for reasonable promises or polite requests (请尽量…).

Examples
