Me: How do you say "it's sunny"?

Urdu teacher: Well we wouldn't say that.

Me: So what do you say when it's sunny?

Urdu teacher: Nothing. It's always sunny.

Me: It can't be always sunny. Sometimes it snows.

Urdu teacher: Only in the north.

Me: So what do they say in the north when it's sunny?

Urdu teacher: They speak Pashto, not Urdu.


So I learned to say "spider" instead. I'm pretty sure there isn't a language that doesn't have a word for spider.
