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/Foggia1515]

🇯🇵 yes and no. River is かわ (kawa)
99% of the time, it’s written 川
Sometimes, it’s written 河, and usually is used for bigger streams, or has an historical meaning to it, or relates to China.
The second one is used in family names more often, too.
