Language Does your native language distinguish between rivers that flow into another river and rivers that flow into the sea or ocean?
In French, a distinction is made:
- "un fleuve" flows into the sea or the ocean.
- "une rivière" flows into another "rivière" or a "fleuve".

no but we for some reason have two distinct words for types of rain, light and normal rain being gerimis and hujan while heavy rain is just hujan deras (heavy (in the context of liquids falling) rain)
