No, you can't compress liquids easily. You can compress them a little bit, but thats all.

What is compressibility of liquids?
That means how easy it is to compress the liquid - to reduce its volume by applying pressure. Liquids are normally not very compressible.
Why are liquids and solids incompressible?
molecular structure
What are the four liquids that can evaporate easily?
Water ?
What are liquids that mixes easily?
They are called miscible.
How do expansions of a solid compare to a liquid?
Very well, actually. Solids and liquids do not expand or compress very well at all. Whereas gases do. This is why we can use pistons and hydraulics, since liquids and solids do not compress much at all under pressure, unlike a gas. Essentially, they are extremely similar in this respect.
It is nearly impossible to blank solids and liquids?
compress it nearly impossiable to COMPRESS solids and liquids
It is nearly impossible to solids and liquids?
Compress. They tend to occupy a nearly fixed volume.
Why are liquids difficult to compress?
Liquids are difficult to compress because of their molecules. Since their molecules are already tightly packed together, they cannot be compressed much more. Doing so can only slightly alter their volume.
Is it nearly impossible to compress liquids and solids?
yes
Why can you compress a gas but not liquid or a solid?
The question is based on the misconception that liquids and solids cannot be compressed: they can. The molecules of gas are further apart allowing them to be compressed more easily.
Which state of matter cannot be compressed?
Solids and liquids are difficult compress. Gases, however, are easy; they respond to changes in temperature and volume.
Does packaged water need ullage?
Since liquids when expanding will generate some force, and the liquid cannot compress, it would be dangerous to not allow some ullage space in the container above the liquid. Some gas above the liquid can easily compress, and absorb the (thermal) expansion of the liquid.
What is impossible to do with solids and liquids?
Compress. They tend to occupy a nearly fixed volume.
Do liquids and solids diffuse easily?
Liquids do, but solids do not.
What are two characteristics of fluids?
Fluids can be either liquids or gases. Gas is easy to compress and expands to fill its container while liquid is hard to compress.
Do some liquids transmit sound waves better than others?
Sound waves are longitudinal, not transverse, and they can only travel through the compression of a medium. The bulk modulus (compressablity) of this medium directly affects the speed at which the waves can travel. Because gases can compress quite easily, the waves travel slower through them than say, a liquid which is very hard to compress. So yes, if the bulk modulus for the liquids are different, then some liquids will transmit sound waves better than others.
Why are liquids usually diffcult to compress?
This is because the liquid molecules are already very close to each other. There is not much space between them which allows liquids to be compressed.
