Tips to Remember "벌이다" (beol-i-da):
• Associate the sound "beol" with “battle” or “brawl”—actions that are forceful or initiated deliberately, like waging war or launching events.
• Remember that "하다" (to do) is common in many verbs; here “벌이다” is an active verb meaning to initiate or launch something, which can help you recall its use in dynamic situations.

Explanation:
• "벌이다" means to wage, launch, or stage something. It is used when referring to initiating actions such as a war (전쟁을 벌이다, “to wage war”), an event, or a campaign.
• Note: Although “earn” in English is sometimes confused with the similar-sounding “벌다” (beol-da), which specifically means to earn money, "벌이다" is used for starting or carrying out actions.

Other Words (Synonyms):
• 일으키다 (ireukida) – to raise, to instigate
• 개시하다 (gaesihada) – to commence, to launch
• 시작하다 (sijakhada) – to begin, to start
