Happy birthday to you

Hi,

I am very vague as to [happy birthday to you]

I have an understanding with it.

It rephrased: To wish birthday cause you to be happy and give you this regards.

[happy birthday]----birthday to cause you to be happy

And by the way: [a happy dog] rephrased: a dog feeling happy, isn't it?

Any teaching appreciated.

Thank you for your assistance.

Yes, a happy dog is a dog feeling happy. Wishing 'happy birthday' does not (semantically) cause happiness in the birthday person. It is a wish that the event causes happiness for other reasons.
