Oversikt
Salt (natriumklorid) er et essensielt mineral for menneskekroppen og en fundamental ingrediens i matlaging. På norsk brukes ordet 'salt' både som et konkret objekt (det hvite pulveret) og som en smaksbeskrivelse. 2) Bruksmønstre: Ordet brukes ofte med verb som 'å tilsette' (to add) eller 'å strø' (to sprinkle). Det er et hankjønnsord: en salt, saltet, salter, saltene. I daglig tale sier vi ofte 'litt salt' eller 'mye salt'. 3) Vanlige kontekster: Du vil møte ordet hver dag på kjøkkenet, i oppskrifter, eller når noen spør: 'Kan du sende saltet?'. Det brukes også i uttrykk som 'å sette salt på maten' (bokstavelig) eller mer metaforiske sammenhenger. 4) Sammenligning: Salt kan forveksles med 'sukker' (sugar), som også er hvitt og kornete, men som har en helt motsatt smak. 'Krydder' (spice) er en overkategori som inkluderer salt, men salt er unikt fordi det forsterker smaken av andre ingredienser i stedet for bare å tilføre sin egen.
