What is the difference between 무섭다 and 무서워하다?
For example, is there a difference between these sentences:
나는 피가 무섭다.
나는 피를 무서워하다.

They mean pretty much the same, but direct translation for each sentence is a bit different :).
나는 피가 무섭다(Adjective) = As for me, blood is scary
나는 피를 무서워하다 (Transitive Verb) = I find blood scary.
Some Korean words can be confusing in terms of how they look like adjectives but are actually verbs and vice versa :)!
e.g) 좋다 = to be good
좋아하다 = to like
Hope that helps :)!

i think 무서워'한'다 is better
나는 ~이(가) 무섭다
나는 ~을(를) 무서워한다
i think these are almost same.
