Simply because the English "You shoc= ked me!" actually means "What you just did shocked me!". Thi= s has to do with the issue "sumti raising", which has been bandie= d about countless times throughout the years.

I've got two follow on que= stions, then:

  1. The easy one: "tu'a= do jenca mi" would be semantically valid, though? =A0Maybe a little v= ague, but if you've just punched me in the face, maybe clear enough and= readier to hand than "le nu do darxi fo le mi flira cu jenca mi"=
Yes, that's correct. In = fact, the use of tu'a and jai as regards sumti raising is talked about = here: http://dag.github.com/cl= l/11/10/=A0

  1. More philosophical: granted that it doesn't make *sense* most of th= e time that do jenca - because people aren't shocking - why isn't t= he convention that such places raise their sumti automatically? =A0Or is th= e idea that maybe there could be a brain-interacting object that fills the = space?
Ian answered this one brilli= antly, so I'll defer to him.
<= div dir=3D"ltr">
Come to think, would it be reasonable to say something like "= ;lo sidbo jenca mi" or would it still need an abstraction related to &= #39;lo nu sidbo fi mi' ? =A0#2 in play as a "why not?" if not= .

Yes, but you need to close th= e sumti: {lo sidbo [ku/cu] jenca mi}, else it parses as "An idea type-= of shocker, me", with no selbri at all.
