Usage

받다 is only added to nouns directly if those nouns express some sort of an action, typically otherwise expressed through a related or 하다 verb. Some examples of such nouns are 사랑, 칭찬, 존경, 미움, 무시, etc. It does not attach to quality nouns like 아름다움 or 행복.

Spacing

In cases when 받다 expresses receiving some action passively, it is directly attached to the noun. However, if you are receiving a physical object, you space it.
