The word طَقْس actually comes from Ancient Greek τάξις through Classical Syriac. Pretty crazy etymology
I believe that "pretty" in the context of weather is very non-standard use of that word; when I hear people praising the weather, they will say "good" or "beautiful", but not "pretty"; "pretty" is in much more common usage as applied to little girls, or pictures, or gift wrap. "Pretty" is more frilly and frivolous, "beautiful" more serious, higher value. People would be very hesitant to call a boy "pretty" (probably also not "beautiful" but rather "handsome") because it would diminish his masculinity. I also think, in most of your examples, "beautiful" would be preferable to "pretty"; the words actually have slightly different meanings.
No! The weather can be great, good, fine, beautiful, fair . . . but not "Pretty".
In correct English you never say 'pretty weather'. 'Nice weather' is the correct option here.
I've never heard weather described as pretty, which used as an adjective is attractive or pleasing to the eye. Is weather visible?
No Duolingo, it is beautiful weather. جميل also means beautiful and صعب also means hard.
I always heard the word "jou" for weather, so I will probably google it; that was Beduoin in Egypt and UAE.

We don t understand your correction.when we put the article is false and when we don t put us false also
"pretty weather" is not an idomatic phrase in any version of English I've ever encountered! "Beautiful" would be a much better translation.
