🆚What is the difference between "salted" and "salty" ? "salted" vs "salty" ? (2024)

I like salty food. I like my food salted. I didn’t know the food was salted. I didn’t know they had salty food.

Salted foods should have lots of salt. For example, salted fish or salted pork are fish or pork where lots of salt was added to preserve the meat, so that it wouldn't spoil. The salt was intentionally added.

Salty foods sometimes have more salt than they should. Different eaters might have different opinions, and the amount of salt could be a mistake or there intentionally to appeal to your taste buds. Examples: When I'm drinking beer, I like eating salty potato chips. I tried a new soup recipe, but it was too salty for my taste.

“Salted” (food) means salt is added. Like...I sprinkled some salt on the food.

“Salty” describes the TASTE of the food. It is salty.

@Grace_B3556 is the same salty and salted?

@Eleni99 the truth it confuses me

@Muuluzi salty is when salt is added or not or its taste is like this because it is natural in its growing?

Look at the image. The food has salt added. It is “salted”. Because it is is “salted” the taste will be “salty”.
Salty = the taste
Salted = with salt added
(Salted doesn’t mean that the salt is always visible. If you add salt to rice then that means you “salted” the rice) @Anth22

@Muuluzi savour and taste are the same?

@Muuluzi could you explain the difference of test, examination, proof, trial?

This is salted. Look. She “salted” the food (she added salt to the food)

Kinda Savour/Savor ≈ taste
Savour/Savor is a noun and a verb
Taste is a noun and a verb.
However, savour (noun) is used to describe the smell AND taste. And savour (verb) is used when you are enjoying food A LOT.
The food was savory. (Adjective)
She savored the food (She REALLY enjoyed the food)

Savour/savor can be used when you are really enjoying something (not just food).
She savored the the moment.
You cannot use “taste” like this.

@Anth22
When you “test” (verb) something it means you are trying to see how it reacts/what will happen to it under certain conditions. It also means “trying it out”. For example
She was testing out the drone. (She was trying out the drone — she was flying the drone)
She went for a test drive (She went on a practice drive/She tried out driving in that car)
She tested the water for any pollution. (She used equipment to test the pollution in the water.
She “tested the waters” before deciding on a career path <—- “Test the waters” (Not to be confused with the previous sentence) means you explore a couple of things fore deciding on one thing.
She tested out the hair dye on her mom.

Examination = Analyzation
She examined the broken lamp and found cat fur on it. (She looked closely at the broken lamp and found cat fur. The cat most likely broke the lamp).
The doctor said the examination (Noun) would only take a few minutes.
The doctor examined (verb) me for a few minutes.

Proof (Noun) = evidence. Prove (verb) = Showing that it is true by providing proof/evidence.
I have proof that the he murdered the girl.
I will PROVE that he murdered the girl.
The teacher told us to prove our answers (this means the students have to show their work on the answer).
I don’t have any proof that she took my phone. =(

1A “trial” is when a judge and a jury examine a case before deciding if a person is guilty or not.
2Trial(s) - a test or a series of tests. It does not mean “Try out”

He was awaiting trial.
Clinical trials were done on the patient. The doctors found a tumor in the patients head.
The completion had many trials.
Life has many trials, but you must keep your head up and get through them. (Trials = tests.)

@Muuluzi it confuses me. I have seen trial on a website when the program to install, its trial has ended. something like this.

Ohh! Yeah it can be used like that too. Remember trial = test. “30-day free trial” This is another way it can be used. A trial for an app/game is a period of time for you to try out/test out the premium features of the app/game/etc. After the trial has ended, you must pay for app/.
This meaning fo Trial = a period of time to try out something.
Have you ever seen infomercials for diet plan? They say “30-day free trial”. They are saying you can try the diet plan for free for 30-days but afterwards (if you want to continue) you have to pay for it.

@Muuluzi but I can't understand the examination and test.

Oh do you mean exam? Exam is short for “examination”. Exam = test (noun)
@Anth22

@Muuluzi then, can I use examination, exam, and test? any?

Yes. They are all mean the same thing.
Exam is short for “examination” (= test)
@Anth22

@Muuluzi pero solo se usa cuando voy a dar un examen escrito u otra cosa?
