Explanation at your level:

This phrase means 'very cool.' Use it when the weather is nice and not hot. It is a simple way to talk about the temperature.
This is an i-adjective phrase used to describe a comfortable, refreshing temperature. It is commonly used in daily conversation to express relief from heat.
This expression is a staple of Japanese 'aisatsu' (greetings) regarding the environment. It functions as a polite observation that invites agreement from the listener, helping to establish a shared reality.
The phrase utilizes the intensifier 'totemo' to emphasize the degree of thermal comfort. It is linguistically significant as it highlights the cultural preference for moderate, refreshing climates over extreme heat.
From a sociolinguistic perspective, this phrase serves as a phatic expression. It is less about the objective temperature and more about the social function of acknowledging the environment to build rapport.
This phrase exemplifies the Japanese lexical focus on sensory-based adjectives. By modifying the i-adjective 'suzushii' with 'totemo', the speaker performs a subjective evaluation of the environment, which is essential for maintaining social harmony in Japanese discourse.
