I think this is kind of on the edge of definition. Historically, you’d say “start” a car, but these days with cars practically being computers…I dunno. Hell, my car is just always on. I just get in and go, I don’t “start” it at all. Occasionally, it has an issue and I have to manually reboot it, so…
As a native English speaker, my answer is: I don’t know, it depends.
Thanks I do appreciate it. Once in a while I stumble upon a combination of noun+verb that I’ve seldom (or never) encountered in the wild and I just stand there confused (because it’s so trivial!)
Of course! Also, I absolutely feel it, I’m learning a second language right now and it’s really opened my eyes to the utter weirdness of English, and more so just language in general
Ah, nice, have a good one ! My wife and I stayed there for some time (mostly in Fukuoka), she’s lost some proficiency since but then but her japanese was pretty good. I personally never got too much into it beyond the basics. But it’s a fascinating language and country. If you love to eat I can guarantee you will have a good time.

Well thank you for this clarification
For what it’s worth, you’re 100% fine just saying using “start” haha. It’s just kind of weird with modern tech

What are you learning ?
Japanese! Been at it for two years, about to go there and test my skills next month. Both excited and terrified lol.
