How do you explain the use of SE vs LI. For example: It's beautiful=Li bel or Se bel

'Li' refers to a specific noun, whereas 'Se' doesn't necessarily have to.

In this case:

Li → He, she, or it

and

Se → this is, that is, it's (and also, verb to be)

'Li bèl.' may literally mean It's beautiful. He's beautiful. or She's beautiful.

Whereas...

'Se bèl' may literally mean It's beautiful. It's a beautiful thing. or This is beautiful.
