It means to begin a friendship, or a conversation. This phrasal verb can't be separated. eg:We struck up a friendship on the first day we met. While he was waiting in the queue, he struck up a conversation with the person in front of him. Note: strike up的意思为发起，但多数时候用于发起谈话。strike和up不能分开。 例：我们第一次见面就成为了朋友。
