Meaning of "saltly" in English

The term "saltly" is not a standard English word. It might be a misspelling or a phonetic variant of "salty." If meant to resemble "salty," it typically refers to something containing or tasting of salt.

Its usage can vary significantly based on the context, indicating either a literal taste profile or an emotional state.

Meaning of "saltly" in French

In French, "saltly" is also not a recognized word. Assuming it is a derivation of "salty," which translates to "salé" in French, it pertains to something with a salt flavor or characteristic, much like in English. When referring to the informal sense of being angry or upset, a comparable expression might be "être de mauvais poil" or "être amer," although the translation would depend on the nuance needed. Context is crucial for accurate meaning in informal language.
