Hi Benny, have a look at the following dialogue:

男: 你把你自己也铐上呗
女: 你有病啊
男: 你铐一个试试 我体验一下
女: 神经病

In the above dialogue, I don’t understand the sentence structure of “你铐一个试试”. “试试” here is a verb, right? Then why do we place “一个” before the verb here?

Thanks!

Hi Lee Kong, this is a structure which is “Subject + Verb + 一个 + 试试 = Have a try on doing….”
