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.
Globules.
Collectively, you could use “spray”.
MrP
How would you say this using “spray”?
When you stand near a waterfall, small droplets of water fall on you.
- When you stand near a waterfall, you get covered in spray.
MrP
Not quite the same image, eh?
When you stand near a waterfall, small droplets of water fall on you.
See Merriam-Webster, under “spray”:
1: water flying in small drops or particles blown from waves or thrown up by a waterfall
MrP
Is Merriam-W one for images?
It sounds fine to me, old chap.

Let’s hope it does for daemon99, Mr Peeved.
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.
What’s the specific word in your language?
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? 
The word is “thumparlu”. I wonder what you’re going to do with this info. :?

Would you prefer I do nothing?

Good work, Molly! MrP was spot on then, I guess.
That depends on the image one wants to create. Not all words transfer well in context.
You choose:
When you stand near a waterfall, small droplets of water fall on you.
When you stand near a waterfall, small globules of water fall on you.
When you stand near a waterfall, spray falls on you.
?When you stand near a waterfall, small drizzle of water fall on you.
I agree. What I meant when I said MrP was spot on was that his suggestion was precisely what was defined in the dictionary.
The word globules sounds a bit misplaced in this context. I have no intuition of any kind, but still, it sounds odd to me.
Not exactly. He suggested an alternative to “droplets”, he did not offer a defintion of “tumpara”.
You might find it in a BBC wildlife documentary, for example. Imagine David Attenborough “When you stand near a waterfall, small globules of water fall on you.”. Who knows? 
And I’m not sure whether “small droplets” is redundant or not.
.
Are you attempting to lead people to believe that David Attenborough actually said that, Molly? 
.
Did you miss the “imagine” here?
Funnily enough, the words “globules” and “david attenborough” do seem to have a little attraction to each other.
