If you want to use a more contemporary tone, you can also use 'Tom inizi\u00f2', but 'Tom cominci\u00f2' is a more traditional way to express it."}, {"role": "user", "content": "Why are there two options? Which one would you recommend?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Both options are correct, but 'cominci\u00f2' is more commonly used in formal writing or in literary contexts, which suits your short story.
