The phrases '''{{tp|mi li}} and {{tp|sina li}}''' are generally considered to be ungrammatical. If a sentence starts with {{tp|mi}} or with {{tp|sina}} as the only word in the [[Special:MyLanguage/subject|subject]], the [[Special:MyLanguage/predicate|predicate]] immediately follows after.
 
Line 18 ⟶ 19:
The relationship {{tp|li}} has to {{tp|mi}} and {{tp|sina}} is often overly shortened to "no {{tp|li}} after {{tp|mi}} or {{tp|sina}}". However, taking this abbreviated explanation at face-value can lead to confusion for learners, in some cases where the word {{tp|li}} follows {{tp|mi}} and {{tp|sina}}.
 
<translate>{{tp|li}} is not added if {{tp|mi}} is the <em>only word</em> in the subject or if {{tp|sina}} is the ''only word'' in the subject. With {{tp|en}}, there are now two subjects, so {{tp|li}} is added.

{{tp|li}}
<translate> is not added if {{tp|mi}} is the <em>only word</em> in the subject or if {{tp|sina}} is the ''only word'' in the subject. With {{tp|en}}, there are now two subjects, so {{tp|li}} is added.

{{tp|li}}
 
<translate>{{tp|li}} follows {{tp|mi}} and {{tp|sina}} when used as modifiers. In the sentence below, {{tp|sina}} is not the subject, it is only part of the subject.

{{tp|li}}
 
<translate>{{tp|li}} is still used if {{tp|mi}} or {{tp|sina}} are modified.
