| Aug 3, 2021 at 8:24 | comment | added | Joseph King | Thanks for this, as your answer (and you and Joe's conversation) has cleared everything up for me. It's also helped me with grammar and sentence structure!!! One thing that I've realized is 惊讶 is not "surprising" anyway; it's "surprised." As you said, Mona, to make it mean "surprising," it would be "make people surprised": 令人惊讶. Thanks SO MUCH, as this has given me HUGE flexibility with this type of grammar and construction! <3<3<3!!! | |

| Aug 3, 2021 at 1:07 | comment | added | monalisa | @OP, By adding 的, the meaning of the sentence becomes "the news I heard is surprised", which is a problematic sentence because as I explained in the answer, news is insentient and cannot be surprised by anything. | |
| Aug 3, 2021 at 1:02 | comment | added | monalisa | @joehua I beg to differ. Messages can be surprising. People are surprised. Messages make people surprised; they do not make people surprising. And messages can definitely surprise people. | |
| Aug 3, 2021 at 0:24 | comment | added | joehua | By adding 的, the meaning of the sentence becomes "the message I heard is surprising." It's people who are surprising. Messages make people surprising. Message itself doesn't surprise. That's how Chinese works. | |
