About -나다 There are a bunch of words like 일어나다, 태어나다, 끝나다, 지나다 etc. There is -나다 part in all of these words. Is there any specific meaning behind -나다? For example, I know that in some situation 나다 by itself means "to be born": 예문: 나는 러시아에서 났어요. But 태어나다 means "to be born" too. So what's the difference? Basically what I'm trying to understand is what does -나다 do with all of these words. Or it does nothing? Like there are words like these and you should just memorize it and that's all. There is no grammar point in it.

Well, that is really a hard question, so I will show you the the meaning of '나다' from my Korean-English dictionary for you. 나다 ①『태어나다』 be born; come into the world; come into being [existence]. ②『자라다』 grow;『돋아나다』 sprout; bud (out); come out. ③ (a)『발생‧일어나다』 happen; occur; take place; break out (전쟁‧화재 따위가); arise; have. (b)『생기다』 produce 「good results」; make [get] 「a profit」; yield 「profit」; generate 「heat」; cause 「damage」; come 「out of, from」; accrue 「from」. ④『소리가』 sound; come out [forth]; make a sound [noise]. ⑤『병‧증상 따위가』 become; fall; get; have. ⑥『명성‧소문 따위가』 acquire; get abroad; circulate 「among」. ⑦ (a)『흥미‧능률이』 grow to be; get. (b)『기분‧생각이』 occur; come [flush] across [into] one’s mind. ⑧『흘러나오다』 come out; gush out [forth]; flow [run] out. ⑨『생산되다』 be produced; be yield-ed; be raised [grown]; be found. ⑩ (a)『티가』 have an air [a look, a style]; look like.

Isn't this word amazing? 나다 has really lots of meanings and we just know the meaning of the word by using the word everyday. Anyway, -었-, 았- and -났- make the word(나다) past tense. Here is an example. 일어나다 (infinitive or present simple) - 일어났다 (past/past perfect/present perfect/present perfect continuous)

you are asking a very useful question but I don't think I can provide a satisfatory answer. What I see over the years is that this 나 part encapsulates something really abstract but more or less associates with the concept of "coming forth" or "coming out". It has its counterpart - 내 which just changes the agent of action from itself (intransitive) to someone else to initiate the action (transitive). An example 티 나다 & 티 내다. When someone sees you and senses anger they might ask you "why are you so pissed today?" you could say " 티 나?" it means "does it show? (my face)". But if you intentionally try to show an angry face to someone else, you could use "티 내" essentially saying you make a face ( you will it to happen). I suggest you just learn the vocabulary as times goes you will get a feel for it. We can quote thousands of examples but there's always some cases where they just don't fit the expectation.
