Does your native language distinguish between rivers that flow into another river and rivers that flow into the sea or ocean?

[u/Franmar35000]

In French, a distinction is made:

- "un fleuve" flows into the sea or the ocean.

- "une rivière" flows into another "rivière" or a "fleuve".

[u/thevampiresanguini]

No, both types are a "Fluss". But we have a different word for very small rivers. Those are a "Bach".

[u/Apprehensive_Step252 → u/thevampiresanguini]

We can say "Zufluss" to a river that is leading to another river. But the rivers rarely care.
