    Can you pour water onto water? Then yes, water can be wet.

      That just makes more water, not wet water. Water cannot give a property to itself (wetness) that it, by definition, can only give to other things.

        Dry air can dry air. Wet water can wet water. Checkmate!

      By definition, only solids can get wet, so no, adding water to water doesn’t make it wet.

        So a frozen cube of water can by your description get wet with the water when put in a glass of said water.

          What you are describing, is ice, a solid, not simply water, which is a liquid. This changes this scenario.

          No, not really. Water needs to adhere to the surface of the solid and water doesn’t adhere to a cube of ice, so no.

            Water wets on to ice. It’s a verb. For a physical effect. That does happen to water.

            If you want to be pedantic, be correct.

        I’m joking. Calm down, get a good calming wet shower.

        I hadn’t even downvoted you, and now you made me.
