It's me or anglos don't have a word for, well it's complicated to define this given that the word does not exist I think.
In french we have :
Lac - Lake
Rivière - River
Fleuve - ?
Lake Baikal in Russia
Gardon River in France
Amazone "River" in Brazil
In french we call this a Fleuve. Fleuve is Seine, Amazone, Gange, Nil, Mississippi etc. We differenciate, 3 big families. Does you language have an another word like in French ?
Järvi - Lake
Joki - River
Virta - Flow, a bigger river in this case, but also current in electrical terms

a fleuve is a just really big river that end in the sea in a desert or in another fleuve
>>75890516
>Fleuve
cuenca? en castellano
they also don't have a word for arroyo, "stream" isn't satisfactory enough
>>75890713
>cuanca
Looks like Bassin from wiki, Basin in english

Ai niinkuin että tuota puhuttais Amazonin virrasta tai Niilin virrasta?
Truth is that we don´t have a word for "fleuve" either

Voidaan puhua vaikkei yleensä puhutakkaan, neekerini
Google says rivière in Italian is fiume but even fleuve is translated as fiume
Could it be rivière = ruscello and fleuve =fiume ?
>>75890813
my bad then
>>75890986
yeah probably
i just checked and spanish doesn't have a fleuve/rivière distinction
fleuve est un mot stupide tbhq senpai
>>75890516
Don't they call rivière a stream and fleuve a river?
By reverse searching I found
ruscello = stream, bourn, bourne, runlet
torrente = torrent, creek, spill
fiume = river, stream, flood
fiume

In German the word is Fluss, seems like Fleuve. I checked but the ethymology of Fleuve is from Latin Fluvius.
Pourquoi ne fait pas le mot " rivierre" . Il est illogique
>>75891110
>>75891133
french confirmed for germanic language
>>75891169
lmao je suis illogique
>>75891246
b-but he just said it was from latin
>>75891369
after a little reading it seems french is unique in this word "fleuve". i can't find other languages that have such specific word for that meaning "river that flows into sea or ocean"
even "fiume" is any big river in general, though "rio/ruscello" corresponds to "petit rivière"
>>75890516
Isnt this the guy who shot the russian ambassador and posed
In German a river ending in the ocean is called Strom

There's nothing more disgusting than anglos speaking anything other than english
>>75890516
We have Rio (river) and Ribeiro (creek).
Do you guys just have a higher threshold between Riviére and Fleuve?
