  なるべく(adverb/adjective/verb/phrase)
  Example:
  → なるべく明日あしたまでに変かえたいです。
  "If possible I'd like to change (them) out by tomorrow.”

なるべく is a handy-dandy adverb, that allows us to say that an action should be done "as X as possible". For instance:

なるべく早はやく "As soon as possible"

なるべく can directly proceed an adjective like this, or it can come before a phrase containing an action, like:

なるべく毎日まいにち食たべるように "To do one's best to try and eat every day"
