Another word for droplets #1 (permalink) Mon May 26, 2008 5:30 am   Another word for droplets		  
When you stand near a waterfall, small droplets of water fall on you.

Is there any other word for droplets? Like sprinkles or something.

Please help.

Collectively, you could use "spray".

How would you say this using "spray"?

See Merriam-Webster, under "spray":

1: water flying in small drops or particles blown from waves or thrown up by a waterfall

I am a little surprised to know that there isn't a precise word in English for what I have asked. I must say I wanted a more specific word.

Thanks MrP anyway.

Molly, I wouldn't have asked this question, if there wasn't a specific word for that in my language. I wouldn't even have got the idea, would I? Smile

The word is "thumparlu". I wonder what you're going to do with this info. Confused
