Wet feet
¿Cómo se dice..?
"If she gets her feet wet." "Si se mojan los pies." The only thing I've been thinking is normally with body parts so it's clear who we're talking about se dice " le duele la espalda, o me duele la esplada" so with the above sentence how is it clear who we're talking about? Could you say "Se le mojan los pies."? To mean If SHE gets her feet wet.

About the sentence, literally:
If she gets her feet wet = Si se moja los pies = Si ella se moja los pies (should you need to name the subject because it isn't clear enough) About the sentence, meaning: get one's feet wet ---> get a first-time experience, but particularly when it involves taking a risk or at least a high degree of uncertainty ---> tirarse a la pileta (Arg., coll) -pileta = piscina o natatorio-. I don't know for other countries.
