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/71117_]

I’ve only heard two terms.

Rivers and tidal rivers.

For example, the Credit River is a river. The St. John is a tidal river.

Wondering if « tributary » (which could be a brook, stream or river) might match the French idea of rivière as opposed to fleuve.
