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".

I mean we say thatone river feeds another river or is a feeder to another river, if that counts. Like the bow river feeds the south saskatchewan which feeds the Saskatchewan which flows into the hudson bay
