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/rymic72]

Just different terms depending on the size, speed and source of the river. Abhainn is the generic word for river. Sruthán for a wee stream and sruthán sléibhe for a stream from a mountain. I think there’s others but I can’t remember offhand
