Do you think water is wet?

[SmokinAces2000]

Here is my reasoning for why I think it is not wet. Water gets things wet therefore cannot be wet itself and also something has to be solid to be wet, if you pour water onto some juice the juice wouldn’t be wet. It’s like saying that fire is burnt. What do you think?

No physically water itself is not wet. Wet is an effect that a liquid has on a surface. If something becomes saturated with water molecules that substance becomes wet, but water will never be classified scientifically as wet.

In all my 50yrs, I've never heard anyone say, "get away from that water, it's wet". You are correct, water is not wet. It is something that gets other things wet.

From my standpoint, water is one of the wettest things I've ever encountered. :-D

This is like some hardcore English stuff. English isn't even my first language. I should duck out of this one. But my dumb self things water is very wet! :-D

The water is just wet, anything else and gives its wetness to the objectes it touches because it sticks in them (like absorbed in a fabric it's there). And it's not that the fire it's burnt, burnt is how the fire leaves the think it touches after disappearing, the fire is just hotness, a destructive one that isn't even matter

[CloudMassacre]

I consider fire to be on fire, so I consider water wet

[DaveToo]

That's as ass-backward an explanation as I've ever read.

[SmokinAces2000]

How so?

[DaveToo]

Well, the very definition of WET is anything that is liquid. Liquidity is not the same thing as a liquid. You will get wet when you use liquid to wash, usually water.
