1. "try on" is used in situations where clothes or anything to put on the body is involved. "try out" is generally used for like situations that someone is trying to do for the first time. So no, they are not the same. 2. Examples of "try out" - "I am going to try out for the team." - "I am trying out the ingredient to see how it tastes." - "Will you try it out before making your decision?" - "Can you try out this lock for me?" Hope this helps. 3. Yes, "try (one's) hand" always means doing something for the first time. No, "take up something" does not always = try hand. It can mean the same thing in certain situations, but it can be used differently from "try hand" Example: - "I will take up the leadership of this group." Here, it could mean, that the person already has experience leading people and decides to take up the role of leader. So he/she is not doing it for the first time. It's all about context. That's the funny thing with English. PS- "try out" and "try (one's) hand" can mean the same thing. Again, it is all about context. Hope I help.:)

1) TRY ON: We always use this as a verb. Use "Try on" when you are talking about trying on clothes/things you wear. It's also "experimental" in nature: it means testing out how clothing looks on you. Girls love going to shops and trying on clothes ;)! "I'm going to try on that jumper" = I will put that jumper on and see how it looks. "I'm to try on that ring and see how it looks" = I will put on that ring and see how it looks. 2) TRY OUT: First meaning: Use "try out" when you are going to test "doing something". It is experimental in nature as well. "I'm going to try out swimming in the Lake. I wonder if it will be too cold." =I'm going to test swimming in the lake. Maybe it'll be too cold though. "I'm going to try out golf next week" = I'm going to play golf next week and see if I like it. Second meaning: Use "try out" (VERB) when you are talking about a test/competition that is necessary to become part of a team, "I'm going to try out for the school football team" = I'm going to try to get on to the school football team. You can also use it as a NOUN, to mean the "test" itself. eg. "There's a try out for the football team later" = There's a test to see if one can enter the football team later. I much prefer the word "trial" here and think it's better English. Americans use "try out" as a noun a lot and you will hear British people saying it sometimes too. You can also use it when referring to a test that you must pass in order to enter a competition. This is a bit more complex. "I'm going to try out for the World Poker Tour" = I'm going to try to pass the qualifiers so that I can play in the World Poker Tour. 3) TRY ONE'S HAND AT: This generally suggests trying something for the first time. "I'm going to try my hand at golf next weekend". = I'm going to play golf next weekend and see how it goes, (it suggests for the first time but depends on context). But you can also say, "I'm going to try my hand at golf again next weekend" = I will play golf next weekend and see how it goes, (this suggests that you have played golf before but not very much/not for a while. You just want to see how it goes if you try again). "Take up" isn't the same as "try one's hand". "Try one's hand" suggests that you are just experimenting. Take up suggests that you are going to start doing something regularly, maybe as a hobby. eg. "I'm going to try my hand at golf next weekend. If I like it I think I'll take it up." = I'm going to see how I like golf next weekend. If I do like it I think I'll take it up as a hobby. Hope this helps. Take care and good luck!

I know both "try on" and "try out" HAVE a meaning of doing something experimentally???
