Is water wet or is it just the thing that makes other things wet?

I think it can't be wet. Wet, to me, is a change from the norm....like dry. But water can't be dry...so I think it can't be wet either.

You must think about the use of the term "wet"here wet means watery so water is completely wet just like dirt is completely dirty. partial water is often treated as wet and full water is never called as wet but called as water.

Liquids are wet, including water, gasoline, vegetable oil, alcohol, etc. You might argue that some liquids are not wet, like mercury.

"wetness", or to "get wet" indicates an infusion of one liquid or another, as "the driller was soaking wet when the oil that burst from the well", or "the chemist felt a wetness on his trousers where he had spilled glycerin".

To be wet is to be liquid, not just with water.

The skin feels temperature and pressure. The wetness feeling is simply a feeling of temperature and pressure - cold (unless you like to scald you hands) and high respectively. That is why you can put on latex gloves and stick your hands in a sink of water to make them feel wet.

Water feels wet because of the hydrogen bonds it forms with hydrophilic substances. If you are oily, water will not feel wet to you because oils are hydrophobic and do not form hydrogen bonds with water. So wetness is determined by the nature of water and what other substance it is next to.

in my opinion water is not wet but it makes things wet.

no water is not wet. it is just the sink or pool or lake or ocean that is very wet. I can also argue this because scientificall you can have DRY steam. for dry steam look up on wikipedia
