"natriumklorid" is the chemical designation of plain kitchen salt.
"szerelmeskedik" means "makes love", in the sense of "haves sex". This is a rather nice of way of expressing the action - implies necking, smooching, all the way to full penetration.
It definitely does NOT mean "eat with a spoon".

: Notice this is En - Hu language pair - if you don't know what language it is, i.e. you don't speak Hungarian, why bother? The correct answer (by Csaba) can be found below.

: Ildiko, maybe the asker posted that question first to the "unknown zone": so translators with other langauge pairs might get this task too, then the asker posted it in the "english-hungarian section". He/she also wrote: "I do not know the language..."

many possibilities to link these two hungarian words,
but without more context, it's difficult to guess about details. natriumklorid of course is sodium chloride (being the same as cooking salt), while szerelmeskedik means to flirt (but it may also signify: to eat with a spoon).

: I agree with Csaba and Eva, also wonder when "to flirt" means to make love. In Brittish English, maybe? They do tend to be a lot more subtle than, say, Americans... :D

Make love and sodium chloride
Those words are in hungarian. Unfortunately the context is missing, so it's very hard to tell, what it means exactly. The questioner should have given some parts of the text, in which those phrases were used, then it would have been easier to solve this problem. :)
1. It can mean "body chemistry" as Csaba wrote ...
"Discerning readers might shudder when, in the introduction, the author launches into a passage about the Jungian psychologist Ernest Jones and his theories on salt and sexuality, or, more precisely, on "the human obsession with salt - a fixation that Jones found irrational and subconsciously sexual." Titillating as this notion might be, it corrupts salt's straightforward symbolism for purity and preservation with psychoanalytical interpretations of human activity that Jones and his better known friend Sigmund Freud hawked in Europe and the United States."
2. or it may be a medical or fitness text, where they are talking about the negative effects of eating salt (sodium chloride)in large amount, that causes high blood pressure, which causes less success in making love.
3. or it refers to the historical past of salt:
"The Romans called a man in love salax, in a salted state, the origin of the word salacious. In Germany, brides' shoes were sprinkled with salt, and in Egypt celibate priests abstained from salt because it was thought to excite sexual desire."

: well, that might explain why women are (thought to be) aroused by a perspired chest or forehead :))

:)) Yes some women are ... especially, when that chest belongs to a "commercial-looking guy" ... (desodorant commericals etc... ) :)) I don't list the brands now, cause it would be a commercial too. :))

salt and love
"Creativity" sorai gondolatébresztőek: magyarul is van hasonló kifejezés, bár a mondás eredetét nem ismerem: "be van sózva", ha valaki elsózza a levest, akkor szerelmes, stb.
Van egy népmese egy királyról, akinek az egyik lánya úgy szereti őt, mint a sót...
Bár lehet, hogy az ilyen fogalmi társításokat egy "csipetnyi sóval" kell
fogadni ("with a pinch of salt", ez is latin eredetű, de nem emlékszem az
eredeti változatra).
Az izzadságnak mellesleg nagy szerepe van az emberi fejlődésben: ha jól
emlékszem, Edison mondta, hogy a zsenialitás "1% inspiration and 99%
perspiration".

: Salt and life are connected since there is life on Earth, so there are a lot meanings of those 2 words as a phrase. Only the context (that is missing) could decide the precise meaning.
