Connectives join together words and sentences.
Some connectives are 'anu' (or) and 'en' (and). Connectives in Toki Pona cannot join together sentences, only to transition from the previous sentence.
That sentence was not a contradiction of itself.
For example:
mi moku e akesi. en sina moku e akesi.
I eat the lizard. And you eat the lizard.
sina pali e akesi linja mute, en ik pali e jan mute.
You work the snakes, and I work the people.
In that last sentence, you may have noticed the phrase 'mute'. 'Mute' means 'many', 'a lot', or 'multiple'.
In Toki Pona, we do not have different verbs for plurals; we either don't express it or use 'mute'.
jan mute.
Many people.
akesi linja mute.
Many snakes.
tomo kule mute.
Many clay figures.
This means that you may see the pronoun for 'we' as 'mi mute', meaning '(1st person) multiple.' This is entirely correct.
