1. Привлекательная - attractive. Ты привлекательная - You are attractive.
2. Пытаться, стараться. Попытаться, постараться. (the secon set is as in I will try). |

| Thanks Vitalsigns. I guess "to fancy" is English slang, it's more like "phwoar ! she/he's nice". |

I guess a more accurate translation would be:
1. to fancy - любить, нравиться (I fancy her.=Она мне нравится.)
2. to make an effort - прилагать усилия (more formal than to try)  |
