“WATER MAKES THINGS WET, STUPID!!”
-me 🤭
Most scientists define wetness as a liquid ability to maintain contact with a solid surface, meaning that water itself is not wet, but can make other things wet. If you define wet as made of liquid or moisture, as some do, then water and other liquids can be considered wet.
You can look at water's cohesive and adhesive properties. Adhesive says it isn't wet, cohesive says it is.

Is paint painted?
No it’s painted
Is fire firery?

100% pure water without the presence of any other matter is not wet by any definition of wet, however as soon as water exists on a place like earth, it is wet in one way or another.
A liquid is the epitome of its property. Wet. It is the embodiment of the thing that it is. Wet
@@MineVex Bruh. If fire can burn things, then why isn't fire burnt?
@@thegreatchaos13 By their logic dirt touching dirt means dirt itself is dirty. Don’t argue with these people.
@@greg-lm2mdyeah don’t argue with people like you
Water is wet because water molecules are in contact with water
So dirt makes dirt dirty? Fire can be on fire? It can’t make itself itself. A single water molecule isn’t wet. You’re thinking of bodies of water. But also ask yourself this, if you’re completely submerged in water, are you wet? No. Water can make you wet but water itself can not be wet. It honestly doesn’t even make sense.
@@greg-lm2md Precisely. Dirt makes things dirty and so it is dirty. Water makes things wet and so it is wet.
@@aaronconner1440 Again, if you have a single water molecule is it wet? Yes or no.
@@greg-lm2md Yes, because it is in contact with a water molecule (itself).
@@aaronconner1440 Again, is a SINGLE water molecule wet?
Then if water is not wet, we can use this logic "A shit or crap can make your hand dirty, therefore shit or crap is dirty" then if water can make your hand wet, therefore water is wet.
Wet is the state of being covered or saturated with water and is defined by water. Dirty is not solely defined by feces, and as such is different.
@@TrisMacLifeTo back you up further, if you put dirt on another patch of dirt does it make it dirty? Or is it just more dirt? If you have one piece of dirt is it dirty or is it just dirt? Can fire be on fire? Can air be airy? No. It can’t make itself itself.
Water being present with something being wet is not the same thing as water being wet.
Water is wet.
@@larshor91nope
@@larshor91Water can get other things wet, but it's not technically wet itself. Because water is a liquid, it cannot be wet itself. Wetness requires a substance to be in contact with a surface, and water is the substance in this case.
@@U_ARE-NIGGA.980 water makes other things wet, and it is wet. With your logic, water molecules touches eachother, making eachother wet. Water is wet.
@@U_ARE-NIGGA.980what do you think water and solids are made up of lmao, they are the same thing molecules, they just move at different speeds so if slower moving molecules can be wet why can’t faster ones be
Water SHOULD be wet. If u think about it, Wet is water.
Cause WET is made of liquid. What I’m tryna say is water ain’t dry but y’all saying if u cover water then it’s still water, but wet is literally MADE of water, Actually WET is made of LIQUID . I guess I’m tryna say is (Wet is made of water)
an adjective can not be made of something. the definition of wet is “covered or saturated by a liquid” the only way for water to be wet is if a surface of water was covered in another liquid
@@lilafianand the noun of wet is “a liquid that when in contact makes other things damp”.
@@joechungus1613 that's not the definition
@@aiko8311 look on Google, I am not shitting you
A liquid is the embodiment of its property, it was, is and always will be wet!
Water by itself may not be wet, however being on the earth etc. it always is wet!

WATER IS WET ITS LITTERALLY ITSELF ITS WER WATER IS WET
Water can get other things wet, but it's not technically wet itself. Because water is a liquid, it cannot be wet itself. Wetness requires a substance to be in contact with a surface, and water is the substance in this case.
According to the definition, wetness is defined as the state of being covered with or saturated by water. Do you think that water is dry?
@@wyattscott4208 Ask Google
water isnt dry my guy
bro is dumb
Water is wet because it can create a cohesive force that produces the feeling of wetness. This is due to the hydrogen bonding that occurs when water molecules stick together.
However, you basically answered it but then went the wrong way.
In language, you don't define a compound word or such WITH the root word.
Translation: since water makes things wet, it can't in of itself be wet.
Yes it can, cuz by default it becomes wet.
100% pure water isnt wet, but 100% pure water isnt safe for drinking
Water needs to be wet, to drink
That logic is completely backwards... since water makes things wet, water HAS to be wet. It wouldn't make sense for water to make other things wet if it was dry.
@@Amnesia1998 did I say water was dry? I said it wasn't wet.
@@Veela666
That doesn't make any sense at all. By that logic, since fire makes things hot, fire itself can't be hot.
A Simple Question With A Shockingly Complex (& Controversial) Answer
Let’s unravel this mystery! The simple question "Is water wet?" has ignited countless discussions and heated debates on social media and beyond. And as water filtration experts, we figured it’s high time we weigh in. So let's dive into this surprisingly controversial topic.
First Things First: What Is Wet?
It may sound silly, but it's the very first question we have to address. Because without a clear answer, we can't determine if water is wet.
In everyday language, we describe an object as being "wet" when it's covered with a liquid, usually water. This aligns with the widely accepted definitions found in dictionaries such as Merriam-Webster and the Oxford English Dictionary, where "wet" refers to a solid object or surface being covered or saturated with a liquid, typically water.
So, in this context and by the definition in the dictionary, wetness is a property that arises from the interaction between a liquid and a solid surface. In other words, when water touches a surface, we say that the surface is wet. Make sense?
Don’t Be Fooled: Why Water is NOT Wet
If you agreed with our definition of "wet" above, then water itself is not wet. Yes, it can make other surfaces or materials wet, but it is not wet itself.
Water is just a liquid that can make other things wet. But that does not mean water is wet!
5 Everyday Examples That Prove Water Is NOT Wet!
This concept is far easier to illustrate than to explain. So here are some examples that prove water is NOT wet.
Heat! Wetness is like heat. When you touch a hot object, you feel heat, but the object itself isn't "heat." Similarly, when you touch water, you experience wetness, but water itself is not "wet."
Fire! Fire can burn things, but fire itself is not "burnt." Likewise, water can make things wet, but water itself is not wet.
Color! A blue ball has the quality of "blueness," but we wouldn't say the color blue is a ball. The ball is just an object that has the quality of the color blue.
Electricity! A battery can provide electricity to power electronic devices, but the battery itself is not "electricity." The battery stores electrical energy and can transfer it to other objects, allowing them to function. Similarly, water has the quality of wetness and can transfer that wetness to other objects when it comes into contact with them. However, this doesn't mean water itself is wet, just like the battery is not electricity.
Light! A flashlight can create light, but the flashlight itself is not "light." Just like that, water can make things wet, but the water itself is not wet.
So is a flashlight light? Of course not. And for that same reason, water is NOT wet!
Another Way To Look At It: Water Is A Noun, Wet Is An Adjective
In other words, water is a thing. Specifically, a liquid. Wet, on the other hand, is an attribute, an experience, a quality, or even a descriptor. It’s associated with a noun, but is not a noun.
So water can make things wet, but it is not wet-it’s water!
To dive just a little deeper, wetness is a quality that we can experience, like when we touch a wet towel or step in a puddle. Water has the quality of wetness, which allows it to make other things wet. However, just because water has the quality of wetness doesn't mean that water itself is wet.
As we mentioned earlier, a flashlight can create light, but the flashlight itself is not "light." A battery can provide electricity, but the battery itself is not "electricity."
Water is not wet because wetness arises from the interaction between a liquid and a solid surface. In other words, wetness is a property that occurs when water or another liquid comes into contact with a solid object.
The Other Side: Why Some Say Water Is Wet
If you define "wet" as the sensation or experience of having water or another liquid on a surface, then you could attempt to argue that water is wet. Because when water molecules stick together through hydrogen bonding, they create a cohesive force that can produce the feeling of wetness.
For example, when you swim in an ocean or a pool, you are surrounded by water. In this context, it's hard to argue that water isn't wet since you are immersed in the very substance that creates the sensation of wetness. Same as when you jump into a swimming pool or get caught in the rain, you get wet.
So, if you define wet as a sensation or experience, you could argue water is wet. But like we said earlier, that goes against the very definition of wet!
What Others Are Saying
The UCSB ScienceLine, where designated scientists at the University of California, Santa Barbara, answer user-submitted questions, says “liquid water is not itself wet, but can make other solid materials web.”
It goes on to explain that the interaction of water molecules creates adhesive and cohesive forces, which are responsible for surface tension. Water molecules are held together by hydrogen bonds, involving hydrogen atoms and oxygen atoms. When water molecules come into contact with a surface, these forces create the condition of a liquid being wet.
If you’re really into science, UCSB suggests a drop of water can wet a surface because of its ability as a liquid to create adhesive and cohesive forces. Then the molecules of water work together to form hydrogen bonds that allow them to interact with the surface of a material, whether it's hydrophobic or not.

Water being present something being wet is not the same thing as water being wet.
Water is wet because it can create a cohesive force that produces the feeling of wetness. This is due to the hydrogen bonding that occurs when water molecules stick together.
