the difference between 뚱뚱하다 and 통통하다 Hi, I am wondering how to tell these two words, since they both sound quite similar. May I confirm the pronunciations that 뚱뚱 is "d-u-ng" while 통통 is "t-o-ng"?? the 2nd question is, as an adjective, is 뚱뚱하다 more negative to describing people than using 통통하다? Thank you so much for the help.
