“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.

무슨 말인지 알겠어요? You got it?

最近日本は暖かくなって春だな～って感じる日が多くて、桜も咲いてきたよ！みんなが住んでいるところはどうかな？そういえば、桜がどのくらい咲いているかは特別な数え方をするの知ってる？桜が咲き始めたころは「開花宣言」っていうよ。

It's getting warmer and warmer in Japan these days, and the cherry blossoms are blooming! How about where you live? Oh, by the way, did you know that there is a special way to count how much cherry blossoms are in bloom? When the cherry blossoms begin to bloom, it is called "Kaika sengen" (declaration of blooming)

今年、2022年は3月17日に福岡で「開花宣言」があって一番早かったよ。そして、その次に3月20日に東京で「開花宣言」があったんだよね。北海道は4月20日ごろに咲く予定らしいよ。毎年「さくら開花予想」っていう地図があるからググって見てみてね。

This year, 2022, Fukuoka was the first to declare the blooming of cherry blossoms on March 17. The next earliest was Tokyo, which declared the blooming of cherry blossoms on March 20. Hokkaido is scheduled to bloom around April 20. There is a map called "cherry blossom forecast" every year, so please Google it and check it out.

桜が半分くらい咲けば50％咲いているの意味になる「五分（ぶ）ざき」っていうんだよね。だいたい80％咲いたら「満開」って言ってお花見をしたりする人が多くなるよ。なんで80％は「八分ざき」じゃなくて「満開」かっていうと「今、桜は100％咲いています！」っていうともう散り始めるかららしいよ。

If half of the cherry trees are in bloom, it is called "gobu zaki," meaning that 50% of the cherry trees are in bloom. When 80% of the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, it is called "mankai," and many people go cherry blossom viewing. The reason why 80% is called "full bloom" and not "hachibu zaki(80% bloom)" is because "100% of the cherry trees are in full bloom now!" means the cherry blossoms will already begin to fall.

ちなみに「開花宣言」があったらニュースでは「さくらの便りがありました」っていうんだよね。「便り」っていうのは「手紙」って意味だよ。例えば「本日、福岡から桜の便りがありました」みたいな。だいたい「開花宣言」から1週間くらいかけて満開になっていくから、もし日本のニュースを見ることがあれば注意して見てみてね

By the way, when the "blooming of cherry blossoms" is declared, the news says "there is a "tayori" of cherry blossoms". The word "tayori" means "letter".  For example, "Today, we received "tayori" of cherry blossoms from Fukuoka". It usually takes about a week after the "bloom declaration" for the cherry blossoms to be in full bloom, so if you watch the news in Japan, pay attention to it.

بِلَادْ الشَام هيَ أَرْبَعَة دُوَلْ, سوريا و الأُرْدُن و فِلِسْطِين ولُبْنَان.
مِن نَاحِيَة المَسَاحَة سوريا أَكْبَر شَي, بَعْدَين الأُرْدُن وبَعْدَهَا فْلِسْطِينْ وأَصْغَر شِي لُبْنَان.
الأُرْدُن فِي الجَنُوب وفِيهَا البَحْر المَيِّت, أَغْلَب سُكَّانْهَا مِن فِلِسْطِين وأَهَلْهَا إِسْمَهُم النَشَامَى.
لُبْنَان فِي الغَرْب و جُزْء كَبِير مِنْهَا سَاحِل, كَمَان فِيهَا جِبَال وطَبِيعَتْهَا جَمِيلَة.
فِلْسِطِين كَمَان فِي الغَرْب وأَغْلَب مُدُنْهَا عَلَى السَاحِل. فِيهَا أَولْ القِبْلَتَين (المَسْجِد الأَقْصَى).
سُورْيَا فِي الشَمَال وجُزْء صَغِير مِنْهَا عَلَى السَاحِل بس كَمَان يَمُر خِلَالْهَا نَهْر الفُرَات ودِجْلَة. طَبَعًا عَاصِمَتْهَا دِمَشْق أَقْدَم عَاصِمَة بِالتَارِيخ.
