On a Japanese website, I posted a photograph I took of a large dam. Someone asked me if it was 河 or 川. At first I thought she was asking if it was for a river or a lake, but I thought lake would be something like 湖 or 湖水.
I've searched around the internet, looked up a couple of books, but I'm getting the same translation for both. River or stream. Can anyone lend me a hand telling the difference? As far as I'm aware, they are even pronounced the same. (かわ).
Thanks!
