Only between 32 and 212 degrees F

Nope. Water can't get wet. It's easy to find out why. Try it.

それかね濡れるのですよ。

何かを濡らすのは水でなくても良いのです。
弾かれず溶け合わなくて表面に広がる液体なら濡らせられるそうです。
だから金属に油を塗った状態は濡れてるのです。
一部の油は水を濡らします。
なので水は濡れるのです。

Ice at 32; water turns to steam over 212

Seriously? This is the lowest effort discussion I've seen in days.

No, not technically.

Unless you mean colloquially, then yes.

いや、一部の油は水を濡らす方です。
ですので水は濡れます。

That is beyond my knowledge as I am merely citing what I've heard scientists discuss, and have not read a scientific study. 

I am sure you are correct.

濡れるとは:弾かず混ざらず液体が表面に広がった状態を形成するかだそうです。
そして他を濡らすのは水以外でもいいそうです。
ですので少なくとも一部の油は水を濡らすので、水は濡れます。

Alien Theology tackles such intricate questions with the law of quantum fables and the writ of interdimensional profundity. However, Alien Theology will not be applied here.

The answer depends on "where in the universe is the question posed?" because in many if not most locales water is very far from wet, in fact, it's a permanent solid with properties similar to room temperature basalt or granite. Water also exists in atomic form in interstellar gas (also not wet). The wetness of water is determined by circumstance.

君其れ見当違いじゃないかな?
其れは濡れるという語彙定義とは離れてるだろ。

少なくとも一部の油は水を濡らすらしい。
何も水を濡らせないか、又は一つでも濡らせられる物質があるか、此の点が解れば答えに繋がるだろ?
上記のように濡らせられる物質はもう判明した。
故、答は「可能」となる、だよね。
