Yes, it's similar:
lo plise cu kukte
Apples are delicious.
Or noun + noun:
lo plise cu grute
Apples are fruits.
Or noun + prepositional phrase:
lo plise cu cpana lo jubme
Apples are on the table.
Or noun + verb:
lo plise cu farlu
Apples fall.
> What I DON'T understand is how "my desire" translates into "le se djica be mi". Why is "se" there? I thought "se" was used to switch positions between two words?
That's why. x1 of {djica} is the one who desires, x2 is the desire.
> Can I just write "le djica be mi"? If not, what would "le djica be mi" mean?
"The desirer of me". i.e. "the one who desires me".
> Can someone elaborate on how "be" should be used?
You can think of {be} as English "of" in many cases.

Nah, it just takes some practice. :)
