  Hey, we pronounce both the same, too. Sorry English, that’s on you and you alone.

    Uh huh

      The I as in “free”, but shorter (not drawn out) and the u as in “urban”, maybe? It’s hard to find English words where they make the french U sound, but it’s pronounced the same pretty much all the time.
