Bedeutung
Starting a recent employment position.
Kultureller Hintergrund
When someone gets a new job, it is customary to say 'Hayırlı olsun'. It is also common for the person to bring 'tatlı' (sweets) to their friends or new colleagues. On the first day of a new job, it is common for the company to send a 'Hoş geldin' (Welcome) kit or for colleagues to take the newcomer out for lunch. Turkish users are very active on LinkedIn. A 'Yeni bir iş' post will often receive hundreds of 'Hayırlı olsun' comments from even distant acquaintances. The 'İlk Maaş' (First Salary) is often spent on gifts for parents or a dinner for the family to show gratitude.
The 'Bir' Rule
Always remember: Adjective + bir + Noun. It's 'Yeni bir iş', not 'Bir yeni iş'.
Case Endings
Don't forget the '-e' when using 'başlamak'. Say 'İşe başladım'.
