22 mins confidence: peer agreement (net): +1
peer agreement (net): +1trying Explanation: This is what comes to mind in context of the whole conversation. ..."But, he's going to get out, right" "He's trying, isn't he? He's trying." Or more literally perhaps: "He is seeing (if he can do it)" Good luck. |

24 mins confidence: peer agreement (net): +1
peer agreement (net): +1he's thinking about it/ he's gonna see Explanation: I think that looking into it also works, as it maintains the informal and conversational tone of the phrase. While checking/verifying is right, it doesn't seem like something someone would say naturally in a conversation. |
