A verb ending in 나다 is passive and a verb ending in 내다 is active. For example:
끝내다 = to finish
끝나다 = to be finished
나다 and 내다 can actually be used as standalone verbs as well as be attached to other words. Both of their meanings are very complex and depend heavily on the situation, but their general meanings are:
나다 = for something to come up/arise/occur
내다 = to make something come up/arise/occur
However, not all words ending in 나다 have an equivalent 내다 verb (and vice-versa).
