That's weird

Right so a serious answer to your question. To be 'wet' means to have water covering some object or entity. But the thing with saying 'water is wet' is it doesn't really work, because you would be claiming that water is covering water.

To make sense of it, you would have to say something like 'the core of this water droplet is wet', meaning that, if you define 'water' as a certain core, having a radius R about the center of a droplet, where R is less than the actual extent of the droplet, then you could say that indeed the core of the water droplet is wet. However, if you were saying in general that 'water' is wet, then you would be referring to the droplet as a whole. But the droplet isn't covered by water - because you are referring to *all* the water in your claim. Hence water can not be wet; there is simply no water left to cover water with.

This is all dependent on your specific definition of wetness of course. But I interpret wet in the way that most people mean when they say "I am wet". Even if you mean wetness as in "this object contains water", water can't contain water, since water refers to all water in the referenced object, and no water remains to be contained.

So the answer is no

Edit: Also wetness isn't a requisite property of water in order for it to make other things wet. There are many objects which generate properties in others, but which don't have those properties themselves. For instance, fire can create smoke, but it does not contain smoke as a property; its a byproduct of combustion. Water creates wetness, but it does not contain wetness.

yay

your name is beautiful

Umm thanks

hahahah

Is water wet? Matter exists in three states: gaseous, liquid and solid. Can we agree water is liquid? But, that does that make water wet? It does make it a liquid (as opposed to steam or ice).

Let's take a quick look at a dictionary to see how "wet" is defined. Wet can be an adjective, as in this thread is a bit wet (feeble). Wet can be a verb, as in she wet her finger to turn the page. (Didn't want to go with he wet his bed.) And, while not used often, wet can be a noun, as in we raced in "the wet" (rain).

It would seem, therefore, from these various definitions of wet that water can be described as wet. When we moisten something with water it's adhesion properties change, getting more slippery. And when we play in the rain, we get wet.

Water is wet. Now, what I'd like to know, is sand dry?
