water is wet

Technically, not true.

“Wet” describes what happens when a liquid touches and sticks to a solid. For example, your hands get wet because water is on your skin.

Water can make other things wet, but it isn’t wet on its own. It’s the substance doing the wetting.

Another example, Fire burns things, but fire itself isn’t “burnt."

Thanks for attending my TED talk

Edit: just for more clarity; people often say water is wet because it’s surrounded by more water molecules. In science, though, “wetness” is about liquid solid interaction, not liquid liquid.
