Long explanation:
'~했다 [haetda]' is a verb ending used in Korean to indicate an action that was completed in the past. It is the past tense form for action verbs. The stem of the action verb is combined with '했다' to narrate a completed action or finished state in the past, similar to 'did' or 'completed' in English.
