خلفية ثقافية
The phrase 'Bismillah' is the spiritual 'start' to everything. Even if someone says they are 'starting' (shoru kardan), they will likely whisper Bismillah first. Meetings in Iran often start with 'Ta'arof' and tea. The 'official' start (shoru) of business talk is usually signaled by the most senior person. The Iranian school year starts on the first day of Autumn (Mehr 1st), which is a major cultural milestone called 'Booy-e Maah-e Mehr'. In Iranian cinema, the 'start' of a project is often celebrated with a small ceremony where a cake is cut or a charity donation is made.
The 'Do' Rule
Always remember that Persian loves compound verbs. If you're stuck, try adding 'kardan' to a noun!
Self-Starting
Don't say 'The movie started' with 'kardan' unless the movie is a person who just started their own job!
