the definition of wet is that something is covered in water, so i like to think that since water can't cover itself, it's not wet but it can make things wet since water is a liquid :3

The way I see it, if something has the ability to be wet, it needs to also be able to be dry. And you can't have dry water, can you?

Personally my outlook on it is that wetness is not a boolean yes-or-no state, but more of a 0-100 sliding scale. The more water is on something, the wetter it is. So one water molecule leaves something fairly dry, but visible water leads to wetness. As visible water is a bunch of clumped up molecules, the water itself is wet due to all the other water on it.

if water makes things wet then it itself should be wet i think

I feel like water is inherently wet because it's not dry. If it where dry it would be evaporated and definitely not wet.
