意思
To commence one's daily job or task.
文化背景
The concept of 'Dienst ist Dienst und Schnaps ist Schnaps' emphasizes that once you 'beginnen die Arbeit', you are strictly in professional mode. In Swiss German, 'schaffe' is often used instead of 'arbeiten', but in formal Swiss Standard German, 'die Arbeit beginnen' remains the standard. Austrians might use 'anfangen' more colloquially, but 'beginnen' is preferred in the Viennese 'Amtsdeutsch' (administrative language).
Use 'beginnen' in Emails
If you are writing to a German client, 'beginnen' makes you sound more professional and precise than 'anfangen'.
Don't forget 'die'
English speakers often say 'Ich beginne Arbeit'. Always include 'die' to sound like a native.
