I came across these words so I've been wondering about them.
1. How do you break down 화가 난다. Is it 화 + 가(subject particle) + 나 + ㄴ다(ending)?
If so, what does "나" mean?
2. 짜증나. Does the "나" here stand for anything or is it part of the verb stem?
3. "감장이 있기나해?" How do you break this down? 감장 = Feelings. "있기나해" ?
4. How do you say something is sleeping or eating or fighting as an adjective? For example : The fighting lion (the lion that is fighting) is huge. The sleeping lion is cute. The lion that is eating is fat.
고 있어 means something we are doing right? Though how do you say these then since they are used as adjectives? Do we add "는"? Like 먹는 사자?
5. "감정적인" 감정 = feelings. 적인 = ?
6. How to use "하는" and "중" or do we use them together? Could anyone give me some sentences as examples?
7. Difference between "깜빡했어" and "잊었어". Also when to use each of them? They both mean the same thing right? Or does "깜빡" actually mean something else but is used to refer to forgetting something?
8. Different uses of "(으)로"? I know its used for directions but what other uses can it be used for? I've seen some dialogues containing these but don't determine directions :s!
Please and thank you ^__^!

화가 난다 means 'to get angry', with the literal meaning of fire rising. It's like the idiom 'flying off the handle', which you obviously don't take literally, but you instead interpret the meaning. :) Yes, it's 화 as 'fire', and 가 is the subject particle. 나다 is the root word for 'rise', literally meaning 'to rise'. By putting it with the ending -ㄴ다, you get 난다. :) So the 나 is part of the word meaning 'to rise'. :)

3. "감장이 있기나해?" How do you break this down? 감장 = Feelings. "있기나해" ?
If I'm not wrong, the question means 'Are you beginning to have feelings for her?' 있기 is something along the lines of 'having'. It's when you use an adjective to describe a verb. You have to be careful not to confuse it with the -는 and -고 있어 (-는 is used for adjectives that describe nouns, -고 있어 means you are doing whatever-is-attached-before-the-고). 나 was explained in question 1

고 있어 means something we are doing right? Though how do you say these then since they are used as adjectives? Do we add "는"? Like 먹는 사자?
You can use either, and it depends on how you want to phrase your sentence. If you want to say 'The lion is eating', you would use '이 사자가 먹고 있어'. However, if you wanted to say 'the eating lion / the lion who is eating...', you would use '먹는 사자가...'.

6. How to use "하는" and "중" or do we use them together? Could anyone give me some sentences as examples?
'중' is used when you're saying 'I'm in the middle of doing X'. You would use '하는' when you want to say something else after that. When you use '하는', you'll be saying 'I, who is doing X, am doing Y.'.

7. Difference between "깜빡했어" and "잊었어". Also when to use each of them? They both mean the same thing right? Or does "깜빡" actually mean something else but is used to refer to forgetting something?
I think '깜빡했어' is 'totally forgetting', with a sense of everything being forgotten. '잊었어' just means 'forgot'.

I'll get back to you on the other question later. :)
I have particularly fallen in love with the sound of the language for the reason that first paying attention to kpop a couple of months in the past. I've began looking Kdrama (I Hear Your Voice, Accidental Couple, Love from Another Star, and many others.) and feature started be trained Korean. It's difficult for the reason that there may be particularly no commonality among English and Korean however I'm having a larger time of it as opposed to my makes an attempt at Chinese and Japanese. It turns out to go with the flow slightly simpler from my English talking mouth.
