I thought that "sa" is her? should the translation not be "Her water is salty"?

[Marcus639215]

"sa" is used because the noun is feminine (in this case it's 'apa'). So the noun determines the possesive grammar form (in this case 'sa') and sa means: his/her/its.

Maybe this question is stupid...but when do you use just "sa" and when "a sa"? Thank you in advance to the person who is willing to answer me :)

I think it's a very good question.
I'd say we use 'sa' when next to the noun: 'rochia sa' ( her/his dress)

But if you already introduced the dress you can also just refer to it by who owns it: 'a sa e albastră' ( hers/ his is blue)
