Because 'to study' is 'to do study' in Korean, so you're writing the negative form of 하다 (to do) that is 하지. Correct me if I'm wrong, I'm learning this language too.
"to study" in Korean is 공부하다, which isn't conjugated

^As this website outlines, and as Silverita91 touched upon, 하다 means "do"
공부 means "studying"
So, when put together, 공부하다 literally translates as "to do studying"-->"to study"
I learned this from another commenter on a separate post (and from the websites linked below), but when -지 않다 is added to a verb, that creates a negative statement (not ____). In this case, 공부하지 압시다 means "let's not study"
(the -시다 ending is used when saying, "let's ___" [See https://sayhikorean.blogspot.com/2018/11/korean-grammar-v-asking-opinions-and_10.html?m=1])
