Questions & Answers about angaega kkin georieseoneun josimhaeya hae.

In 안개가 낀 거리에서는 조심해야 해, what does 안개가 낀 literally mean, and how does 끼다 function here?

It literally means fog has settled, using the verb 끼다 (to settle on/cover). The clause 안개가 낀 acts like a relative clause modifying 거리, so 안개가 낀 거리 conveys streets on which fog has settled (i.e. foggy streets).

Why is there -ㄴ in 낀, and how does it connect to 거리?

The suffix -ㄴ is the attributive ending for verb stems ending in a vowel. You drop -다 from 끼다 to get the stem 끼-, then add -ㄴ to form 낀. This turns the verb into an adjective-like modifier directly describing 거리.

Why is 안개 followed by 가 and not 는?

가 is the subject marker here, indicating 안개 is the grammatical subject of the relative clause 안개가 낀. You reserve 는 for contrast or broader topics. Since this clause simply states a fact, 가 is correct.

What role does -에서는 play in 거리에서는 compared to -에서?

-에서 marks location (“in/at”), while -에서는 adds a topical nuance (“as for in/at”). So 거리에서는 sets 거리 as the contextual topic—in those streets (as the situation) you must be careful.
