Mostly they can be used interchangeably for the same meaning of "out of sudden". 1. 我正要出去,忽然(突然)下起了一阵大雨。 2. 我的自行车刚才还在这儿,怎么忽然(突然)不见了。 3. 忽然(突然)停电了。 But differences still exist. 突然 is an adjective, it can also be functioned as attribute, predicate and complement other than adverbial. While 忽然 is an adverb, it works only for adverbial. 一、 突然+(的)+noun: 1. 情况发生了突然的变化。 2. 这是一起突然的事故。 3. 有一个突然的消息要告诉你们。 二、“很”(degree adverb)+突然:突然+“极了”or“得很”: 1. 事情的发生很(太、非常、十分)突然。 事情的发生突然极了(得很)。 2. 天气的变化很突然。 天气的变化突然极了(得很)。 三、verb+得+(……)突然: 1.他的病来得有点儿突然。 2.事故发生的那么突然。 四、Other: 1. 你认为发生这样的事情突然吗? In above cases "忽然" can't be suited for. link: http://zhidao.baidu.com/question/69505583.html?fr=qrl&cid=197&index=5

Привет! Не знаю, почему девушке выше, ответившей, что это одно и то же, поставили положительную оценку, но это не верно! Значение совпадает, однако 突然 может использоваться как прилагательное, так и как наречие, а вот 忽然 - это только наречие!
