| meaning 2 | to begin (tr.) | En 2021 et 2022, une partie des mariages sont des reports de 2020. Et j’ai déjà une dizaine de réservations pour 2023. Les familles s’y prennent plus tôt pour avoir le choix des dates. (journal Sud-Ouest, édition Charente-Maritime / Charente, 16 juillet 2022, page 33) In 2021 and 2022, some of the weddings are postponed from 2020. And I already have about ten reservations for 2023. Families are starting to do it (make reservations) earlier to have a choice of dates. |

| comment | The second meaning is complex, implying not only the beginning of a process but also a certain competence of the one starting it, a certain approach, be it good or bad, to the achievement of a goal. Cf. very common examples like Comment vous y êtes-vous pris ? 'How did you do it, what was your approach to it?' ; Je ne sais pas comment m'y prendre 'I do not know how to do it, what approach to take'. |
