What does it mean when you add 'おっか' to the stem of a verb?


I've been reading, playing, and watching a lot of Japanese content recently
and I keep running into this construction. I feel like I get the gist of it's
meaning but I don't know exactly what it means. Here are a few examples of
what I've come across: 始めおっか, 手伝おっか, and 何か飲もっか.




This is just a rendering of a colloquial pronunciation of volitional (-よう) +
か. So, 何か飲もっか (＝何か飲もうか), that is, "Shall we have something to drink?".

The first example should be 始めよっか, by the way.
