Try to see it once my way

Question

Alice in chains. (btw)

They say "intenta de verlo una vez a mi manera".

I usually see, like 10 out of 11 times, trata de instead of intenta, same?

Also, a mi manera, en mi manera, well

A mi manera, a tu manera is actually a minor idiom, don't you think?

Voy a hacerlo A mi manera, I'm going to do it my way

Viste a tu manera. Dress how you want, in your way.

NOT en tu manera. (or do they both work)

2 questions here.

Gracias.

Answer 1

For "try to see it," I believe it can be said as either "trata de verlo" or "intenta verlo" (no "de").

"A mi manera" works here I think. Although, I might have said "Trata de verlo una vez cómo yo lo veo."

Answer 2

They say "intenta de verlo una vez a mi manera" in this song.

Also, they say, a mi manera, as opposed to en mi manera

WELL A mi manera, a tu manera is actually a minor idiom, don't you think?

Voy a hacerlo A mi manera, I'm going to do it my way

So therefore it makes more sense than EN mi manera due to it's idiomatic nature.

Viste a tu manera. Dress how you want, in your way.

NOT en tu manera. (or do they both work)

The two questions are:

1. a tu manera VS en tu manera (a tu manera always and never en tu manera right?)
2. Intenta VS trata de. Trata de is more common right? But do they BOTH work for this kind of thing? Gracias.

Answer 3

Could you try to state your question a little bit more clearly?
