It's more about the sentence structure and assertion. When you say "difficult to imagine", the main assertion is about the difficulty. 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.
