意味
To begin a task or process again from the very beginning.
文化的背景
The concept of 'Stunde Null' (Hour Zero) is a major historical reference point. It refers to May 8, 1945, when Germany had to rebuild its entire society from scratch. This makes the idea of 'starting over' a very powerful and respected concept in German culture. In Swiss German, you might hear 'vo vore afange'. The cultural emphasis on precision means that starting over is often preferred over delivering a sub-par product. Austrians might use the phrase with a bit more 'Gemütlichkeit' (coziness/relaxed attitude), often followed by a coffee break before actually starting over. In international German-speaking offices, 'von vorne anfangen' is often used during 'Agile' sprints when a feature needs to be completely redesigned.
Use 'ganz'
Add 'ganz' (ganz von vorne anfangen) to sound more native when you are frustrated or want to emphasize how much work you have to redo.
Separable Verb
Don't forget to put the 'an' at the very end of the sentence! 'Ich fange heute mit dem Buch von vorne an.'

よくある質問
14 問You can say 'von vorne starten', but it sounds more like a technical process (like restarting a computer). 'Anfangen' is much more idiomatic for human actions.
