⚠️ The trap

'Eppure' + 'ci provo' is a well-known Italian expression of resilience. The 'ci' in 'ci provo' is a reflexive/intensive particle — you cannot drop it. 'Provo' alone sounds incomplete; 'ci provo' = 'I give it a go'.

To say "yet = but/still; I try = I make an effort" in Italian:

eppure ci provo
