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.
