Any difference between “Gewürz” and “Würze” ?
From the translations it looks like the best translation for “Würze” is (condiment), and for “Gewürz” (spice), but I am not sure
“Würze” is used in a figurative sense, like for a boring basketball game for instance, where you could say “Dem Spiel fehlt die Würze”.
And as you said, it is a condiment. I think pretty much always a liquid, like Maggi Sauce for instance.
“Gewürz” is a single spice or mix of spices.
