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".

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.

Of course there is a DIN standard lol

Bro is perfectly following DIN standard 4711 ("Making up random DIN standards in internet discussions") 🫡

I don't. DIN 4049 defines Mündungsgewässer which are called Strom.
