Don't forget spatter. It's more like splatter. Splash usually gets you wetter than splatter, although splatter can be messier. Spatter, on the other hand, is just a cleaner version of splatter.

When a liquid-filled object impacts a solid object, breaks open, and sprays, we say it 'splatters', like a tomato splattering on a wall or a human body splattering on the pavement. We also say that the liquid coming out (e.g., tomato juice, blood) splatters. Essentially, 'splat' is the sound of the liquid-filled object breaking on the more solid object.

When a solid object impacts a mass of liquid, we say that one or the other 'splashes', depending on which is moving, like a glass of water splashing in your face or a cannonball splashing in the ocean. Here, 'splash' is the sound of liquid being displaced.

First something splashs then it splatters.

Example:

The water in the tipped over vase splashed onto the floor and then splattered onto the walls.

Splatter is a lot of little bits going everywhere. whereas a splash is a large mess in one area
