그만 다 접자.
(Let’s stop everything.)

"What is 접자?"
"접자" means "Let's stop."
"접다" originally means "to fold cloth or paper."
To Fold the paper. 종이를 접다.
To Fold the T-shirt. 티셔츠를 접다. 

However, "접다" has another meaning.
When you stop doing something or an action that you have been doing continuously, you can use the expression "접다."

요즘 너무 피곤해서 아침운동 접었어요.
I'm so tired these days that I stopped morning exercise.

여행 계획 접었어요. 돈부터 모을 거예요. 
I stopped my travel plans. I'll save up some money first.

오늘 하루만 공부 접고, 놀까?
How about taking a break from studying just for today?

무슨 말인지 알겠어요? You got it?

“꼼짝 마!”

꼼짝 마가 뭐예요? What is 꼼짝 마? 

"꼼짝" is a kind of mimetic word meaning a sluggish and slow movement. 
And when the imperative ending "-아" is added to the verb "말다", it becomes "마".
So if we put things together, 
“꼼짝 마”
Don’t do any slow movement! Don’t move! Freeze!

Especially in K-dramas, police officers often use this expression toward criminals.

If you watch ‘the glory' on Netflix, 
you can hear this expression in the first episode.
Yeon-jin’s daughter says this. 

우리 엄마는 주인공이 아니에요. (My mom is not a leading role)
우리 엄마는 부자니까요.(Because she’s rich)
주인공들은 원래 다 가난하니까.(Because the leading roles have always been poor)
You can hear ~~니까 in common. 

In Korean language, there are several expressions meaning “because”.
Some of You may already know about that. 
The basic thing is “~~이기 때문이에요”, “~이기 때문에”
If we replace the lines with ~~이기 때문에, 

우리 엄마는 부자이기 때문이에요. 
주인공들은 원래 다 가난하기 때문에. 
But you can also use “~~니까” instead of ~~때문에

우리 엄마는 부자니까요. 
주인공들은 원래 다 가난하니까. 

Here are other samples. 
사람이니까 실수할 수 있어요. Because you are a human, you can make a mistake.
더우니까 아이스크림을 먹고 싶어요. Because it’s hot, I want to have an Ice-cream.

Don’t forget this.
