When water particles touch something it makes it wet. Since water particles touch each other doesn’t that misbehave water wet?

Um no, water is not wet, it's wet.

I did this analogy before. Water is not wet. Just like how fire doesn't burn. Fire burns stuff but it doesn't 'burn' itself, if you get what I mean? Same with water, it makes things wet but it's not wet itself.

Hahah, I haven't seen this video before but I like how he uses that fire analogy too. 👏👏

It might seem that way if you go along with the idea that water only exists as a liquid, but that'd be silly

I think water is wet. The definition of wet is, "covered or saturated with water or another liquid." Water is surrounded by other water molecules, so water is wet. That's juat my opinion though.

For something to be wet, it has to have water molecules on it, water cannot have water on it, it just becomes a larger water molecule right?

If water is not wet, then by definition, it is dry. Water is definitely not dry, so it's wet.

A water molecule is not wet, therefore a group of water molecules together is still not considered wet.
By a chemistry definition, water itself is "dry". It only makes things "wet" as things soaked with water or other liquid becomes "wet" or "soaked".

If you consider water molecules bunched up together wet, does that mean ice that's not melted is also wet? Of course not. 😏
