Is water wet, or does it just MAKE things wet??

Question

Is water wet, or does it just MAKE things wet??

Answer 1

Both. Water is a liquid, thus it is wet. When you pour water on a lamp, it becomes wet because the water is wet. The property of being wet is not transferred, but restricted to the water.

Answer 2

This is somewhat of a nit-picking question about terminology.  Water is not wet, but it is a liquid capable of wetting.  Read the reference.

Answer 3

if water is not wet how can it make things wet (yes water is wet) ^_^touche^_^

Answer 4

LOL! is fire dry, or does it just make things dry?
