Questions about 李
How is 李 used in a sentence?

Are these sentences machine generated?

Why do some sentences show 李 inside a longer word?
Because that is where a single character usually lives. Seeing 李 inside the words it builds is how the character stops being an isolated symbol and starts being something you can read.
