}}

 

{{tp|li}} separates the subject from the predicate. The predicate can be a verb (with or without object), a noun, an adjective, or a prepositional phrase. It is omitted when the subject is {{tp|mi}} or {{tp|sina}} alone.

{{Example|ona li moku.|They eat.}}

{{Example|soweli li suwi.|The dog is cute.}}

{{Example|sina en mi li lukin e sitelen tawa.|You and I watch a movie.}}

 

Typically, {{tp|li}} is repeated when multiple predicates apply to the same subject.

{{Example|ona li kama li tawa.|They come and go.}}

 

{{Example|mi toki. mi moku.|I speak and eat.}}

 

{{Example|mi moku li toki.|The food-related me is talking.}}
