Oh, I don’t know why, but I always loved the idea of summer, and sun, and all things hot.

Really?

I’m guessing you don’t have much experience with heat.

Nope!

But, sometimes I like to close my eyes, and imagine what it’ll be like when summer does come.

Bees will buzz

Kids will blow dandelion fuzz And I’ll be doing whatever snow does in summer A drink in my hand

My snow up against the burning sand Probably getting gorgeously tanned in summer I’ll finally see a summer breeze blow away a winter storm And find out what happens to solid water when it gets warm And I can’t wait to see what my buddies all think of me just imagine how much cooler I’ll be in summer Cool is an adjective that has two different meanings.

The hot and the cold are both so intense Put ‘em together it just makes sense!

Winter’s a good time to stay in and cuddle But put me in summer and I’ll be a.

Happy snowman!

When life gets rough, I like to hold on to my dream Relaxing in the summer sun, just lettin’ off steam Oh the sky would be blue and you guys will be there too When I finally do what frozen things do in summer I’m gonna tell him.

AnDon’t you dare!

in summer!

Oh, I don’t know why, but I always loved the idea of summer, and sun, and all things hot.

As you probably know, in the Frozen movies, Olaf is a magical snowman that moves and talks like a real person.

In this scene, which is the first appearance of Olaf, we learn that even though he’s a snowman, he loves the idea of summer.

If you like (or love) the idea of something, that means you imagine that you would like it, but you have not actually experienced it.

Example1:

I love the idea of living in Paris; Sitting at a cafe every morning with a coffee and a croissant!

Example2:

Hey.

I love you, and I love the idea of raising our kids with a lawn and a white picket fence, but, we have our whole lives to decide when and if we want to do that.

So what’s funny here is that because Olaf has never experienced warm weather in his life, he doesn’t understand that snow and ice melt in the summer-that is, they become liquid [water].

Oh, I don’t know why, but I always loved the idea of summer, and sun, and all things hot.

The phrase “All things (something)” means everything related to something.

Example:

This guy consumes all things baseball; He’s really obsessed with it.

So in this sentence, “all things baseball” means “everything related to baseball”.

loved the idea of summer, and sun, and all things hot.

In this line, Olaf says that he likes everything that is hot, or related to being hot.

But, sometimes I like to close my eyes, and imagine what it’ll be like when summer does come.

As you know, the verb do is used as sn auxiliary verb when we want to make questions and negative statements such as; 1) Do you like it? and 2) I do not like it.

So they are not normally used in affirmative sentences.

However, we can use them for emotive emphasis when we feel strongly about something.

Example1:

He thinks I don’t love him, but I do love him.

I really do!

Example2:

Could you, please, predict something for me?

I’m sorry?

One teensy little prophecy?

Pity.

Don’t– wait, wait! Don’t!

I think I do see something-yes!

I do-something dark!

You are in grave danger!

Specifically in the case of what Olaf says in the song, while the verb does adds emphasis, it could also be replaced by a word such as finally, being “I like to close my eyes and imagine what it’ll be like when summer finally comes.”

Example:

Father.

I hate being forced into this.

If I do marry, I want it to be for love.

Jasmine.

Bees will buzz

Kids will blow dandelion fuzz.

A bee is the insect seen here.

In this context, to buzz is to make a continuous, low volume sound like insects do when flying.

To blow is to create a flow of air.

For example,people blow candles out on birthday cakes.

A fuzz is a fluffy mass of hair or fiber like this ball.

A dandelion is a type of flower.

The seeds of a dandelion are easily thrown into the wind if you blow them.

In fact, we believe that you can make a wish and blow the dandelion, and it may come true!

So here Olaf is describing summer, and mentioning things he thinks he will enjoy or find beautiful-the sound of bees buzzing, and kidd blowing dandelions.

drink in my hand

My snow up against the burning sand.

In this context, to be up against something is to be putting your weight on it.

Example: He has his back up against the wall.

Olaf is talking about lying on and touching the sand, like people do on the beach.

A drink in my hand

My snow up against the burning sand.

Probably getting gorgeously tanned in summer.

Gorgeous means beautiful or extremely attractive.

Gorgeously is the same as beautifully or “in a beautiful way”.

I’ll finally see a summer breeze blow away a winter storm.

A breeze isa light, cool wind.

For example, one of the nicest things about being at the beach on a hot summer day is feeling the gentle breeze off the water.

And find out what happens to solid water when it gets warm.

Solid water refers to ice or snow.

As everyone but Olaf knows, when ice or snow get warm, they become water [melt].

And I can’t wait to see what my buddies all think of me.

If you say that you can’t wait for something or to do something, that means you are very excited about it or anxious to do/experience it.

Example1:

I can’t wait to see you.

Example2:I know,I miss you too.

I can’t wait to see you.

I love you.

Bye.

Example3 :

So, I’ll come by in a couple hours and pick you up?

Alright, I can’t wait!

Okay.

And don’t worry, I’m not gonna just take you out for donuts.

Buddy is an informal way to refer to a close friend.

Example:

Oh, man.

I can’t believe I locked myself out again.

Hang on, buddy.

Which of these other words are also colloquially used to refer to a friend?

A) Pal

B) Mate

C) Bro

Did you say A, B, or C?

In fact, all of them are correct ways to refer to a friend!

Example:

Hey. Hey, hey, hey.

Mogli, my friend, my buddy, my pal.

Slow down a second.

just imagine how much cooler I’ll be in summer Cool is an adjective that has two different meanings.

When collocated with people, it refers to somebody who is being calm and in control.

As Olaf used it here, it can also serve as slang for fun, impressive or in style.

Example: You’ll like Sam.

He’s a very cool guy.

When referring to temperature, cool means slightly cold (that is, just a little cold), normally in a way that is nice and pleasant.

So here Olaf says this meaning he thinks he will be more in style and impressive to his friends in the summer.

But the joke is that you could also interpret it with irony, as he would actually melt for getting warmer, not cooler [colder].

The hot and the cold are both so intense Put ‘em together it just makes sense!

Put ‘em is a contraction of put them.

It’s very common to reduce them to just ‘em, which changes the pronunciation of it,actually making it a lot easier.

When this happens, natives will almost always connect the verb with ‘em as if they were one single, continuous sound.

I’ll help them clean the room.

I’ll hel-pum (help ‘em) clean the room.

Be careful.

The correct pronunciation is [um], not [eim].

What’s more, when a T is between two vowel sounds in American English it sounds like a D in words like hiding or medal.

Take these for example: Water [Wadder]

Metal [Medal]

That is easy [Thadiz-easy] Example:

Just put some. uh. honey on those.

Honey? Really?

Yeah. You put it on (puh-dih-don), you like it off (lih-kih-dof).

You’ll feel much better.

It’s nature’s ointment.

I put it (puh-dih-d)everywhere.

So he doesn’t say PUT THEM, or eve PUT-UM, he says; PUDDUM.

Check out these examples with the TV series Friends.

Example1:

You have to put ‘em (puddum) together yourself, but they cost a little less.

You have to put ‘em (puddum) together yourself, but they cost a little less.

Example2:

I say we just put ‘em all (puddum-mall) together, and if they can’t deal with it, who cares?

I do.

That’s who!

I say we just put ‘em all (puddum-mall) together, and if they can’t deal with it, who cares?

Winter’s a good time to stay in and cuddle.

Narrator:To stay in is to decide to stay inside orat home instead of going out.

Example: We went to the movie theatre last night, but tonight we’re staying in.

To cuddle with somebody is to put your arms around somebody and hold him/ her in a loving way.

Winter’s a good time to stay in and cuddle But put me in summer and I’ll be a.

Happy snowman!

As you know, the running joke in this song is that olaf is completely ignorant to what would actually happened to him as a snowman in the summer-he would likely become water, and thus from a puddle on the ground, like seen in this image.

So the joke in this line is that it would be a perfect rhyme if it were; Winter’s a good time to stay in and cuddle.

But put me in summer and I’ll be a puddle But Olaf is so unaware of the facts that he doesn’t make the rhyme, and instead says he would be a happy snowman.

When life gets rough, I like to hold on to my dream.

In this context, if something is considered to be rough, it is hard or difficult.

To hold on to something is to hold something tightly or carefully so that you do not drop it or it does not fall.

Example: Hold on to your seat, we’re going off-road.

It can also mean to keep something (as opposed to losing it, throwing it away, or giving it to somebody else).

Hold on to thismap-you will need it to find the exit.

Example:

Okay.

But only if you give me a drag.

Okay.

No, no.

Why don’t you hold on to that one?

When life gets rough, I like to hold on to my dream.

So in the case of this line, we see a more figurative use of this phrasal verb.

Olaf means that when life gets difficult, he likes to remember and keep his dream or goal alive.

Relaxing in the summer sun, just lettin’ off steam.

To let [or blow] off steam is an idiomatic expression meaning to do or say something that helps you to get ride of strong/tense fellings or energy.

Example1:

she jogs [runs] after work to let off steam.

Example2:

I’m so glad you’re going on this trip.

Yeah.

I’ve been working so hard this semester.

I really need to go crazy, you know. blow off some steam.

Sure, sure.

Look, I don’t know if your plans are finalized yet, but, uhm.

Hey! I know another great way to blow off steam.

What?

Are you into crafts at all?

This is actually another case of a funny double meaning.

The word steam refers to water in the from of gas, normally obtained when you heat it up [boil it].

So literally speaking, if something is letting off steam, like this soup.

It is hot that the water in it is becoming gas.

When I finally do what frozen things do in summer.

I’m gonna tell him.

AnnDon’t you dare!

If you say to someone “don’t you dare” do something, you are telling them not to do it and letting them know that you are angry.

Example:

The element never existed!

I didn’t take it away!

Science took it away-be mad at science.

Don’t you dare use science against me!

Science is my best friend.

Literally, to dare to do something is to have the courage to do something.

If you are daring somebody els to do something, you are challenging or provoking them to try to do something.

in summer!

Now let’s watch and learn with a short clip fron Frozen II, where we see Olaf actually got to experience and survive warm weather, but in doing so, starts to deeply reflect upon life and the change of the seasons.

AnEnjoying your new permafrost, Olaf?

I’m just living the dream, Ana.

How I wish this coud last forever.

And, yet, change mocks us with her beauty.

AnWhat’s that?

Forgive me.

Maturity is making me poetic.

Tell me, you’re older and thus all-knowing-fo you ever worry about the notion that nothing is permanent?

AnUh. no.

Really?

Wow!

I can’t wait until I’m ancient like you, so I don’t have to worry about important things.

AnEnjoying your new permafrost, Olaf?

Permafrost refers to something (more commonly to an area of land)that is permanently Froze, due to being under extreme low temperature.

In Frozen 2, Olaf is now made of permanent snow [permafrost], a magical improvement made by Elsa.

I’m just living the dream, Ana.

To live the dream is to have the lifestyle that you always wanted to have, especially after becoming very successful or rich.

Example:

I always wanted to be a famous singer, and now I’m living the dream.

Example:

Oh, my God! That took you 5 seconds.

Oh, was it that long?

The man is a good!

And he’s still out there living the dream.

So, I’m going to Sunday tomorrow with Bon Jovi I’ll be on the road the rest of the year.

Olaf says he is living the dream - because of his permafrost magic, now he can experience summer.

How I wish this coud last forever.

As a verb, to last is to continue for a period of time.

In other words, to continue to exist.

Example:

Okay!

So, alright, I haven’t been in a relationship that lasted longer than a month.

Okay?

I haven’t had a real boyfriend.

Olaf is saying he wishes lying down and relaxing like he’s doing now could be something that lasts forever, that never ends.

And, yet, change mocks us with her beauty.

And What’s that?

Forgive me.

Maturity is making me poetic.

So Olaf is saying that maturity (that is, becoming older and having more experiences in life) is something that is making him speak poetically.

If something is or sounds poetic, it expresses emotions and ideas, as if it were coming from a poem.

And, yet, change mocks us with her beauty.

In this case, yet means the same as despite that; It is used to add something that seems surprising because of what you have just said.

If you mock somebody, you are making fun of them; Ridiculing them.

Maybe while treating them with anger and contempt.

Olaf is poetically saying here that the changes that happen in the universe and nature is something that mock humans; That makes them feel insignificant or ridiculous because of the inability to control it.

And, yet, change mocks us with her beauty.

And What’s that?

What’s that? is an expression you can use when you don’t understand or didn’t hear what somebody said, and want to ask “what did you say?” or “Repeat that. “

Example:

It’s good to meet you, Sam.

It’s your bed, right?

What’s that?

Your bed is too soft.

When I was over there, I’d sleep on the ground and use rocks for pillows like a caveman.

Now I’m home, lying in my bed, and it’s like.

Lying on marshmallow.

I feel like I’m going to sink right to the floor.

Tell me, you’re older and thus all-knowing-fo you ever worry about the notion that nothing is permanent?

Thus is an adverb and another alternative to saying consequently; therefore.

Example:

Barcelona beat Real Madrid in the finals, thus becoming champion.

Akk-knowing is an adjective meaning knowing everything.

Someone who’s all-knowing is aware of everything.

For example, most religions describe God as all-knowing.

Tell me, you’re older and thus all-knowing-fo you ever worry about the notion that nothing is permanent?

The phrase “Do you ever.?” Simply means “do you normally. do something? “

Example:

Do you ever go to the gym?

And Uh. no.

Really?

Wow! I can’t wait until I’m ancient like you, so I don’t have to worry about important things.

Ancient means very old.

Olaf is saying that he is very excited about the idea of growing older.
