Shouldn't it be "it only snows in the south, but it rains everywhere"?

Re: It only snows in the north, but it rains everywhere.
Swahili is spoken north and south of the equator ... the only places it snows in the range of Swahili is up on top of the mountains. Changing "north" to "south" for this reason would be silly, and if someone is writing about the US in English and it's translated to Swahili, you don't translate Washington DC as Dodoma.eldin raigmore wrote: ↑02 Jan 2018 00:36Swahili is spoken south of the Equator, right?Imralu wrote: ↑01 Jan 2018 14:38 Swahili:

only on south-OBL HAB~fall.3SG DIM-ice but place all-INAN.ACC HAB~come.to.3SG rain.NOM
lit. Snow only falls on the south, but rain comes to all placess
I changed "north" to "south" because Ruń is in that world's southern hemisphere and their north is strongly associated with the desert.
Two different verbs are used because rain is considered animate, being an important force of nature, while snow is just this thing that happens every few years - tiny fragments of ice fall from the sky and melt very soon. So, when it rains you say "rain is coming here", like you'd say about a person, and when it snows (if that ever happens) you say "small ice is falling".

Instead of utilizing a dummy pronoun, Gondolan shifts Piculon to the position of subject and puts the clause in the passive voice.
