"The salt"

Translation: Muối

[AdamLegge]

Why not cai muoi

[TehVanarch]

Too specific and in general you'd normally just talk about salt as it is. "The" salt is a little specific and I suppose the contributors to this course often confuse English articles (a, an, the). They'll often add "the" in situations where it's unneeded. You could use it in sentences like: "(cái) muối này mua hồi nào?" = when did you buy this salt?

[nictheman]

Is there any particular classifier for salt?
