so 하지 + 마 are two seperate words? that clears up a lot, such a simple thing overlook

As an exclamation simply to say "Don't!" (= Don't do it! / Stop doing what you are doing) it can be written as one word, "하지마!"
Similar expressions:
가지마! - Don't go!
울지마! - Don't cry!
보지마! - Don't look! etc.
Yes. Unfortunately Koreans are pretty bad at word spacing and often write 하지마 in one word. Even lyrics writers.
걱정하다+지 말다
To worry + negative ending
The '-지' doesn't have any particular meaning on its own in this case. Its use is purely grammatical.
They are separate but often pronounced together. In North Korean language they are together!!

너무 = (much) too
많이 = much, many, a lot
너무 많이 = (much) too much
걱정하다 = to worry; to be worried.
너무 걱정하다 = to be (much) too worried
너무 많이 걱정하다 = to worry (much) too much
To be too worried = To worry too much.
So in this case, 너무 and 너무 많이 are interchangeable.
Why does it give you almost no time to say the next word? I am too slow or is it an app problem?
Why does Duolingo insist in teaching the -십시요 ending instead of -세요 ending? I live in South Korea and using -세요 is a lot more useful on day to day conversations. You sound too formal using -십시요 all the time.
