When you want to express anger in Korean, you can use the word 화나다. This literally means 'anger comes out' or 'anger rises'. It's often used when you are feeling angry about something or someone. You can also use it to describe a situation that makes you angry. For example, if someone is being rude, you might say, '그 사람 때문에 화나요' (I'm angry because of that person).
§ Basic Usage of 화나다
- DEFINITION
- To be angry / To get angry
화나다 is a common Korean adjective used to express anger. It literally means 'anger comes out' or 'anger happens'. Because it's an adjective, it will conjugate like other descriptive verbs in Korean.
제가 화났어요.
This sentence means, "I am angry." You'll notice the verb ending -어요, which is a common polite present tense ending for adjectives.
그가 정말 화나요.
This means, "He is really angry." The ending -아요 is used here. Remember that 화나다 is a descriptive verb, so it describes a state (being angry).
§ Expressing Who or What Makes You Angry
When you want to say that something or someone makes you angry, you typically use the particles -에게 (for people/animals) or -에 (for things/situations) with 화나다. However, a more common and natural way to express this in Korean is to use the verb 화내다 (to show anger/to get angry at someone).
However, if you want to explicitly use 화나다 to say something makes you angry, you can use the object marker -을/를 with the thing that caused the anger, and then combine it with a verb like '만들다' (to make) or '하다' (to do).
그 뉴스가 저를 화나게 했어요.
This sentence means, "That news made me angry." Here, 화나게 하다 literally means "to make (someone) angry." The -게 ending turns the adjective 화나다 into an adverb, describing how the action of 'making' happened.
그 사람 때문에 제가 화났어요.
This sentence means, "Because of that person, I got angry." The particle -때문에 (because of) is very useful here to indicate the cause of your anger.
§ Combining with Other Grammar Points
You can combine 화나다 with various grammar points to express different nuances:
-아/어서 (because, so): To express a reason for being angry.
친구가 늦어서 화났어요.
"I was angry because my friend was late."
-지만 (but, although): To express a contrast.
제가 화났지만 참았어요.
"Although I was angry, I endured it."
-을/ㄹ 때 (when): To indicate a time when you get angry.

"I listen to music when I get angry."
§ Common Phrases with 화나다
