I had and endless argument with some someone about this a while ago here’s how it works (in my opinion) wetness is not a fundamental property of water instead wetness is having water on or inside something so a towel is wet when it has water in it. But a singular water particle by itself is not wet because it is not surrounded by water but most water is wet because they are all surrounded by other water particles.
A particle of water may be surrounded by water but when we talk about water we’re usually referring to a body of water like that in a glass or pot rather than one particle thereof.
Is the water in that glass wet? No. The glass is wet.
A room can be “airy” but the air in that room is not “airy”.
I disagree if there is paint on the paint which there would be unless the paint is 1 particle thick then the paint has been painted.
I don’t know what airy means so I can’t comment on that though.

H2O is not water
Is water a collection of H2O particles but not a H2O particle by itself?

Is the water in that glass wet? No. The glass is wet.
A room can be “airy” but the air in that room is not “airy”.
A car can be painted but paint is not painted.
… and so on and so forth.
Water is dry then?
That is a really good point, by saying water isn’t wet you are also saying that water is dry.
