What does "-다니", "-다가", "-다고" mean? How do I use them?
I've seen those in sentences. What do they mean and how are they used?e.g.:
도울수 있(다니) 영광 이예요.
내가뭐했(다고)요
더워졌(다가) 갑자기 비가 내려요.
그래서 오전 수업이 끝(나자) 마자 교내 식당으로 가서 친구들과 같이 점심을 먹었다.

What does "-다니", "-다가", "-다고" mean? How do I use them?
I've seen those in sentences. What do they mean and how are they used?e.g.:

Answer

Thanks, it does help to clarify my doubts. :)

Answer

In the context, -다니 is like a that-clause in English. 도울 수 있다니 영광이에요. It's my honor that I can help you. 너도 간다니 다행이다. It's fortunate that you come (with us) too. 내가 뭐했다고요 literally means "What did you say I did?", but it can also mean "내가 뭐했다고 그래요? Why are you acting like that, what did I do to you?". -다가 is like "while" or rougly "after" and finally, -자마자 = as soon as... it is a bit hard to get into detail, but I hope this helps anyway.

Answer

here's an explaination of ~더니: http://ezcorean.com/bb_index.php?level=1&subaction=vthread&topic=70203&forum=24&from_lang=korean&switch=p&old_cfile=mod_pager&ocfbv=browse_all&entrant=&wordid=203&pos=1&posn=1
~다가 is like: while doing something, something interrupted
~다고 comes from 다고 하다 , it means "he/she said"

Answer

This is a bit too general, it depends on the context where they are used. Can you give the context?
