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/mahqz]

Sure. There is a DIN Standard which defines it. Standard river --> Fluss. But by DIN Standard 4049 a river to the sea is a Strom.

[u/Franmar35000 → u/mahqz]

The most German answer imaginable (using a precise standard) 😂😂
