Bedeutung
Beginning a job or task.
Kultureller Hintergrund
Starting a job is often seen as a communal success. Don't be surprised if your new colleagues ask you to 'wash' your new job (աշխատանքը լվանալ), which means buying them drinks or treats. In Yerevan's tech sector, 'աշխատանքի անցնել' is often followed by a 'Welcome Pack'. The phrase is used formally in Slack channels to introduce new members. For the Armenian diaspora, this phrase often symbolizes the 'American Dream' or successful integration. It is a point of pride in community newspapers. In villages, 'գործի անցնել' is used more than 'աշխատանքի անցնել' and usually refers to the start of seasonal agricultural work.
The 'Gortsi' Shortcut
If you forget 'Ashkhatanki', just say 'Gortsi antsnel'. It's shorter and very natural.
Case Matters
Never say 'Ashkhatank antsnel'. That -i ending is the secret sauce that makes you sound like a native.

Interview Success
When asked when you can start, say 'Պատրաստ եմ անցնել հենց վաղվանից' (I'm ready to start right from tomorrow) to show enthusiasm.
Magharich
If you tell an Armenian friend 'Աշխատանքի եմ անցել', be prepared for them to say 'Բա մաղարի՞չը' (Where is the treat?).
