I would suggest not trying to work with lujvo for a while as a beginner.
Knowing when a new word is needed in the first place isn't easy, knowing
what place structure a lujvo should get isn't easy, etc.

"A gift" is {lo se dunda [ku]}. "God's gift" is slightly harder to say: {lo
se dunda be lo cevni [ku] [be'o] [ku]}. "The people's victory" can be
translated in a number of ways, but the most straightforward would be "the
event that the people win". This would make the name {nu lo prenu cu jinga}.

Other than the first one, these are all a little bit advanced, so don't
fret too much if you're seeing grammar you don't know yet.
