Is water wet?

I’ll start. I personally think it’s MOIST

Nice

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

The first definition in Merrigan-Webster is:

1 a: consisting of, containing, covered with, or soaked with liquid (such as water)

Since water consists of a liquid such as water it must be wet.

Merriam Webster, sorry ...autocorrect ...

See, there you go, water is wet: end of discussion

What about water vapor under vacuum? Ah ha! *Not* end of discussion! ( :

Granted, water in complete gaseous (or solid) form would not be considered wet, however, when talking about water, most people would assume liquid form

Water in gas form is water VAPOR, and water in solid form is ICE

I mean, nobody calls them "gassy water" or "solid water", right?

we call them both water

But they're not water anymore, they're vapor and ice

Awww, so cute :)

Yeah. Water is mostly wet when you dump it on someone or it rains or even trying to drink water.

While wet consists of water water must also consist of wet because multiple water molecules have to be together for us to see it therefore water is wet.

True facts.

Water IS wet. Water just cannot GET wet.
"If we define 'wet' as a sensation that we get when a liquid comes in contact with us, then yes, water is wet to us. If we define 'wet' as 'made of liquid or moisture', then water is definitely wet because it is made of liquid, and in this sense, all liquids are wet because they are all made of liquids" but.... "“Things that can be wet can also be dry. Water can't switch between dry and wet so it can be neither,” said Eva Danielson '22. It is also important to note that wet is an adjective while water is a noun. An argument built off of wet being a description is, wet is a description of things that liquid touches."

great explanation!

When you touch it yes but it’s not actually wet tho

Whooooaaaaaaa...

We've got a dirty-minder over here!!!(Lmao)

Am I the only one that hums tunes made up on the spot when I see animals doing their thang?

It's wet.

As long as it's liquid, it's considered wet.

But water is usually not in singular molecules, they're usually in a group, right?

But at that point we can't really call it as "water". For example, water vapor is the same as water but it's just that every molecule is split farther apart than in its liquid form. So...

We're not talking about the physical properties of an H2O molecule, we're talking about the water that's formed when all those H2O molecules are bunched together in a way that it's liquid.

Also, that's just what one molecule is, an H2O molecule.

I honestly have so idea, so I enlisted the help of my nine year old sister:

Me: is water wet?
Her: uh yeah
Me: why?
Her: because it is

So there ya go. Professional answer

Who cares?

What's up with those birds! That's awesome!

a very confusing question!? well... it can be both... when water sucks into the ground, it is dry, but when it is in a glass, like a cold glass of refreshin' lemonade or in a pan, or pool, it is wet

and... Water is wet because when your hand goes into water and you take it out, it is wet. Your hand can’t BE wet unless the thing you put it in IS wet.

cute

umm... why do you put 4 comments meaning the same?

lol

nice

great

NO It's MAKES things wet. It's not actually wet. It's MOIST

MOIST!

Water isn't wet by itself, but it makes other materials wet when it sticks to the surface of them.

We wouldnt know dry if we wouldnt know what was wet

No

Negative.

no its dry
