That's always difficult to distinguish for Korean ppl. But it'll be helpful. Thank you!

@kookdeaje True. This is why I posted it. Short i is also very difficult for Latin language speakers. What one should remember is to keep the tip of the tongue down and the lips unstretched (relaxed). That is the secret😉

@Angelo Interesting... In English a language exists as one reference language, lile in Italian👍 but there are also personal dialects of a language, particularly when we are learning that language and don't speak it well yet (hence we have not reached the standard of the reference language). That is why we use the possessive 🙂. I am trying to find a similar way to convey that subtle difference in Italian🤔 but I think it requires a long translation hahaha
