나다
na-da
나다 is what pushes up from inside to the surface
The picture A sprout pushing through the soil into the open. What was hidden inside now shows outside. 나다 is what surfaces by itself; 내다 is what you push out with your own hand.
Where the picture shows up in 나다
-
heat rising in the body
열이 나요.
yeo-ri na-yo
I have a fever.
You lay a hand on a forehead and heat rises out of the body into your palm
-
a smell leaking out
이 방에서 이상한 냄새가 나요.
i bang-e-seo i-sang-han naem-sae-ga na-yo
There's a strange smell in this room.
Somewhere in the closed room, a smell seeps out through a gap you cannot see
-
anger rising in you
아까 갑자기 화가 났어요.
a-kka gap-ja-gi hwa-ga na-sseo-yo
I suddenly got angry earlier.
Something that had been boiling under the lid shoves it up and comes surging out
-
a gap opens up
시간 나면 연락 주세요.
si-gan na-myeon yeol-lak ju-se-yo
Give me a call when you have time.
In the middle of a packed schedule, one empty square suddenly opens up
-
an event breaks out
어제 사고가 났어요.
eo-je sa-go-ga na-sseo-yo
There was an accident yesterday.
On a quiet street, out of nowhere, a crash breaks out in the middle of the road
If it happened by itself: 사고가 났다. If you caused it: 사고를 냈다.
All of it in one picture
나다 is something inside surfacing on its own. Let the thing surfacing be heat in the body and you have a fever; let it be a smell in the room and the room smells; let it be what was boiling inside and you get angry. Let an empty square open up and you have time free; let an event break out on a quiet street and there has been an accident. So 나다 always carries the feeling that nobody pushed it — it came out by itself.
