지만 and 는데
Is there any real difference between these two? They both mean "but" but can I use them interchangeably?

For example:
This is the sentence:
노래는 몾하는데 춤은 잘 춰요.

But can I also say it this way?

노래는 몾하지만 춤은 잘 춰요.

Answer

Both mean the same. but let me correct your spell. it's 못하지만/못하는데, not 몾하지만/몾하지만

Answer

I would go for 지훈이는 노래는 못하는데/못해도 춤은 잘 춰요.(just my personal opinion)
-지만(

Answer

지훈이는 노래는 못하는데 춤은 잘춰요.
Jihun doesn't sing a song well but he dances well

지훈이는 노래는 못하지만 춤은 잘춰요.
Jihun dances well,even though he dosent' sing a song.

는데 and 지만 are really slightly different. So you can replace each other.
