what exactly is the difference between difficult to = imagine and the imagining being difficult?

Firstly, "zo'e xanri fu'inai" doesn't mean "= ;zo'e is difficult to imagine", nor does it mean "imagining z= o'e is difficult". What it means is "zo'e is imagined (by= something) (, and the attitude I have about that is 'difficult').&= quot;

"zo'e xanri narfrili" means "zo'e is imagined ty= pe-of difficult", and does mean "zo'e is difficult to imagine= " and "imagining zo'e is difficult".

This is rath= er difficult to explain because English doesn't have a word that means = the same thing fu'i means. fu'i doesn't mean that something is = easy or hard (fu'inai), it means that person who is speaking has the at= titude of easy or hard.

This is why I used a UI we actually have a word for in English: happine= ss.

"do gleki" means "You're happy". "d= o gleki.ui" means "You're happy (, and the attitude I have ab= out that is 'happy')." Or, in other words, "I'm happy= that you're happy."

It's more about the sentence structure and assertion. When yo= u say "difficult to imagine", the main assertion is about the dif= ficulty. In the sentence {lo si'o ciska lo ro fa'oma'o cu xanri= } the main assertion (the selbri) is about imagining (xanri). Adding fu'= ;inai after xanri is like huffing to indicate that you find the imaging is = difficult.
