In German, the word for ‘start’ is „Start“.
It is pronounced similarly to the English word. In various contexts, you might also encounter „anfangen“, which means ‘to begin’ or ‘to start’. The choice of word depends on how you intend to use it. For instance, if you are talking about the beginning of an event, you can say „der Start“ as in ‘the start of the race’. If you are referring to starting a task, you might use „anfangen“ as in ‘I will start (anfangen) the project now’.
Understanding these nuances will help you communicate more effectively in German.
