Long explanation:
'다 [da]' is a predicate-final suffix used in Korean to indicate the full completion or totality of a subject or object's action, state, or condition. It implies that something was done completely, all of something was used, or that a particular state applies to everyone or everything. This can be similar to 'all', 'every', or 'entirely' in English.
