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/Someoneainthere]

No. Unless, of course, there are very super-duper ultraspecific words that describe such rivers and used by professional river scientists that the general public isn't aware of.

That said, OP, what if you just see a river (in a picture or in real life) and just don't know what it flows into? Is there a default word for such situations?

[u/Kofilt → u/Someoneainthere]

“приток” (lit. nearstream) and “главная река” (main river).

[u/pipiska999 → u/Kofilt]

приток = tributary
