My mother suffered with many problems and when I asked my mother that what is the taste of tears she responded that it is very sour in taste.What do you think about this?

Well, if we are talking about the physical taste of tears, I believe it would taste salty as I ever taste my own tears..
And now, talking about heart. Someone can crying because of happiness or sadness. So, as for me, tears can be tasted sour, salty, sweet, or even bitter. It depends on our heart mood..

Chemically tears are salty because of its water and sodium chloride content. Figuratively, it can have several tastes. For the tears of joy because of success, i suppose it is sweet; for the tears of sadness, failures, it is sour and bitter; tears of success, it must be sweet.
But when I actually taste my own tears, it is salty. It's not that I tasted it purposely but I cried because of pain when I was young they just flow freely and some drops fell on my lips and i licked it to taste .It was salty. hahaha

Its a hard reality of the world that everybody has to suffer andhas to exprence sadness at a point in his or her life its the sad relality of life.but these instances surely offer insight as to how strong we are.Sometimes i think that god throws us challenges at each and every point in our life and we have to pass them it is more like a game where we are serving our part and combacting challenges thrown at us ,the person who palys nice and smart clears all the challengesand wins the race and enjoys a gift of peace and solidarity from god.Sometimes in this game some people cheat to reach at top but at that instance it may go unnoticed or if his or her luck goes by he can escape unheard till the very last moment,but at some point he gets the return of what he has sown.But in between these very parts that we play in the game we go threw a moments of shaking self confidence or a loss of faith in life and the very game that we are palying and that brings tears in our eyes as to why we are going through all this we didnt do any harm to anyone then why its me always who has to face the warth.The very sour taste of tears in out mouth reminds us about the sacrifices and hardwork that we did to make our part in the game of life succesfull.But ultimatly that sour taste gives us the strenght to face any hardship and emerge as a winner tasting the sweet taste of victory and triumph.So its a cycle where sour leads to sweet and loss leads to victory

Hmm...I'd say the taste of tears depends on why the person is crying and where the person is crying. What I mean to say is, a person can cry physically, the one you see, the tears in the eyes and cheeks and the sad expression and stuff. There is also the kind of crying where one cries inside his/her head because showing tears would be too troublesome especially in public places because he/she won't be able to see the way(lol). And the other kind of crying is the crying of ones heart. For some reason you feel like crying because your heart-aches but you don't know what the reason is. Now as how your mother said that the taste of tears is sour, maybe because while suffering she may have become "sour" afterwards. Have you ever been near your mother lately? Make sure to cheer her up when you can to make sure that she won't have to taste tears unless if it is the tears of happiness.

Women tears are more valuable in the world. Tears are mixed with salt so they are sour in taste. As its doesnt matter but how much ml she cry its the matter just ask her.

Sour could mean an extraordinary taste. Problems may get so hard sometimes that makes people think that it is not easy to handle anymore. However,we must always keep in mind that we can ask help from others. Have faith to our God and be strong. The taste of tears or the problems may get worse but one thing's for sure.. tears taste salty.. that's the reality.. therefore there are no problems that no one can solve..

I suppose the taste of tears can be sour or salty. It depends on the person.
