Signification
To commence an action or activity, especially work.
Contexte culturel
It is customary to bring 'Shirini' (sweets) on your first day of work to share with colleagues, symbolizing a sweet start. The concept of 'Ta'arof' means you might wait for a senior colleague to 'start' a task or a meeting before you 'shoru' be kar' yourself. Many Iranians say 'Bismillah' (In the name of God) before they 'shoru' be kar' to ensure success and blessing. In Tehran's startup scene, English loanwords like 'Onboard shodan' are replacing 'shoru' be kar' in casual talk.
The 'Be' Bridge
Always remember the 'be'. Without it, the phrase sounds like broken Persian.
Don't over-formalize
In a cafe with friends, just say 'shoru konim' (let's start) instead of the full 'shoru be kar konim'.
