for example:

Pavement: called a 'sidewalk' in America, because it's on a side of the road and it's walked on.

Bin: called a 'trashcan' in America, because it's normally shaped as a can of some sort and you put 'trash' into it.

Post some more.

"make more sense"

subjective. pavements aren't always made for walking on and bins can be shaped other than can.

Im american.

We actually use both types of nouns.

We use Pavement when describing something made of a different material than
what most people envision as a sidewalk.

We use bin and trashcan interchangeably (trashbin)

Its doesnt really matter.
