What´s the difference between あまり and あんまり?

今にちは、みんなさん、

I looked them up in the dictionary, the definitionｓ seem the same to me for あまりand あんまり. Are they interchangeable?

ありがとうございます、

Jasmine

Jasmin-san,
quite much yes.

あまり is the formal and normal way, and あんまり is rather spoken language (so, more casual).

Hope this helps!
