"hehe" vs "haha"

Please list your native language and what you think the difference is between "hehe" and "haha", if any. Thanks.
Native English speaker. "Haha" is an ordinary expression of amusement, "hehe" has more satirical overtones.
I sometimes say both of them.Depends on situation in chat :)
French speaker. "Haha" shows amusement, sometimes a laugh. "Héhé" (French uses accents) is an expression of soft, friendly mocking or bragging.
Portuguese speaker.
in my language, I think there is no difference. Both represent laughter
Here in Germany we use "haha" more of a phrase for "you really think this joke was funny?"

"hehe" is kind of somone got hurt in anyway and we laugh about him because he also has hurt us in any way before.
If used seperately as "he he" and if the context matches, it could be understood as "yeah yeah keep on talking as if I take you seriously", in Turkish. Pronounciation is very different though.
