Japanese Unit 5 Lesson 6

Well... here is a nice mixture of easy and impossible. Some things I am completely clueless on. :[

kaji: Fire
taiyoo: Sun
yuki: Snow
koori: Ice

kaji wa atsui desu: Fire is hot
taiyoo wa atsui desu: The sun is hot
yuki wa tsumetai desu: Snow is cold
koori wa tsumetai desu: Ice is cold

ki to murasakirro no hana: Trees and purple flowers
roosoku: Candle
yuiki ga ki o ootte imasu: The snow is covering the trees.
yuki ga yama o ootte imasu: The snow is covering the mountains.

hi ga ki o moyashite imasu: The fire is burning the tree.
hi ga roosoku o moyashite imasu: The flame is burning the candle.
taiyoo ga ki no kage ni arimasu: The sun is on the other side of the tree.
taiyoo ga kumo no kage ni arimasu: The sun is on the other side of the cloud.

kaji ga kuroi kemuri o dashite imasu: The fire is taking out black smoke? (I don't understand dashite here)
kaji ga shiroi kemuri o dashite imasu: The fire... white smoke..?
chiisai konro wa aoi honoo o dashi masu: The small oven ... blue flame...?
matchi wa kiiroi honoo o dashi masu: The match... yellow flame..?

natsu wa atsui desu: The summer is hot.
fuyu wa samui desu: The winter is cold.
pan wa atsui desu: The bread is hot.
pan wa atsuku arimasen: The bread is not hot.

samui desu. kono hito tachi wa booshi to erimaki o shite imasu: It is cold. These people are wearing hats and mufflers. (why is shite here?)
atsui desu. kono hito tachi wa hinata ni suwatte imasu: It is hot. These people are sitting in a sunny place.
atsui toki wa mizu no naka de asobi masu: When it is hot play in the water (????)
samui toki wa yuki no naka de asobi masu: When it is cold play in the snow (????)

atsui hi: hot day
samui hi: cold day
tsumetai tabemono: cold food
atsui tabemono: hot food

atsui desu: It is hot.
samui desu: It is cold.
tsumetai nomimono: Cold drink
atsui nomimono: Hot drink

kare wa atsui desu: He is hot
kare wa samui desu: He is cold
onnanohito no ue ni hi ga sashite imasu: The sun is shining over the woman.
shibafu no ue ni hi ga sashite imasu: The sun shining over the grass.
Note: I was confused about sashite. The verb is "sasu" and one of the meanings is "to shine." "Hi" also means quite a few things in this lesson... I guess that was the point.
