Sākt is a very common verb used to indicate the beginning of an action or event. It can be used transitively (es sāku projektu — I start a project) or intransitively/reflexively as sākties for events (pusdienas sākās — lunch began). Imperative forms (Sāc! Sāciet!) are used to tell someone to start. Uzsākt is a slightly more formal synonym often used in written language.
