In Brazil, 'fallings' or 'quedas' is commonly used in contexts such as 'quedas d'água' (waterfalls), a major tourist attraction. In forestry and environmental contexts, it appears in discussions about sustainable logging. The term is more literary or technical in nature and less commonly used in everyday conversational Portuguese than its singular form 'fall' or 'queda' in English and Portuguese respectively.
