Is 웃는 pronounced the same as 우는? I cannot hear the difference, but the meanings are obviously quite disparate!

[LiKenun]

• ⟨웃는⟩ ⟶ [운ː는] (/uːnːɯn/)
• ⟨우는⟩ ⟶ [우ː는] (/uːnɯn/)

⟨웃는⟩ comes from ⟨웃다⟩ + ⟨는⟩, but ⟨우는⟩ comes from ⟨울다⟩ + ⟨는⟩.

Compare with Italian: ⟨penne⟩ versus ⟨pene⟩. An Italian once told me to learn the difference between those two. It makes a big difference.

Perfect, thank you so much! The pronunciation note

⟨웃는⟩ ⟶ [운ː는] (/uːnːɯn/)
⟨우는⟩ ⟶ [우ː는] (/uːnɯn/)

... is very helpful!
