salt
Salz is the German word for salt. It is a noun that can be used in both its singular and plural forms without changing its spelling. In German, it is used in the same way as in English, such as in cooking or to describe salty water. It can also be used metaphorically, for example, to describe something that is valuable or important, like 'Das ist das Salz in der Suppe', which means 'That's the salt in the soup', or 'That's the most important thing'.
