Is water wet?

Nope. Water is a liquid. Liquids are not wet. Anything placed in a liquid or covered by a liquid or contacted by a liquid becomes wet.
i.e. the water coming from the faucet is not wet, however your toothbrush becomes wet.

If it's covered in water: it's wet
Water cannot be covered in water.
End.

Define water. Tap water has minerals and chemicals dissolved in it. If the definition of "wet" is that it "is touching water", then a portion of tap water is wet. Pure water is almost impossible to achieve, therefore water is always slightly wet.

What do you mean pure water is impossible? Steam is pure water, my boi. Unless you chucked in some crazy stuff in the pot yer boilin

And where is this steam of which you speak? Floating in the air, within a mixture of oxygen, nitrogen, and other gases? And when it condenses it picks up other contaminants from the surface. My point still stands.

It depends on whether you mean the noun or the verb. If you mean the noun, water is wet (the definition of the noun is liquid that makes something damp).

If it's one molecule of water then no. If there are multiple molecules, then yes.
