What is the difference between overfill, spill, and flooding?
Thread Content
When translating, I got confused by the three words overfill, spill, and flooding – I really couldn’t tell them apart. Could someone please explain this to me?
Overfill (this word means being filled to such an extent that it overflows; sometimes it has the same meaning as OVERFLOW). Spill (translated as leakage, usually caused by accidents or carelessness; for example, water spilled on the floor can lead to accidents). Flooding – this refers to situations where there is an abundance of water, indicating that it’s not just a small amount that has leaked.
