俺は考えてみた - Literally translates to I'll think and see?


It literally translates to that but does it actually mean I'll try to think?
Or I'll give it a thought?




みる in this context is an important [subsidiary
verb](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/18952/5010) meaning "to try ～ing".
た is the ta-form (past tense) of みる. The sentence means "I gave it a thought"
or "I tried thinking about it."
