This is an attempt to get a vocabulary list in an order suitable for learning. Simply using the frequency lists is one way of getting started, but that is heavily biased by having been drawn from early discussions of lojban itself, hence the words sumti, selbri and other lojbanic terms are overly represented.

Please, one gismu only, what one gismu would you suggest a person learn? Please add it to this table:

lojban gismu English keyword

dunda give xorxes
mutce much eppkott
cusku express betsemes
djica desire filip
sidju help bobgrif
drata other cuncuxnas
zasti exist uirik
gleki happy komfo,amonan
And add your recommended cmavo here:
