                  <p>Hi!<br>
This comes very late but I answer anyway.<br>
I think it would be better with frijaba instead of frije.<br>
The word for life is libains (sf) if i'm not totaly wrong.<br>
I don't know if giban takes any special case but i'd guess it should be accusative, hence "Ik giba frijaba libain meina" (if dative: libainai meinai)<br>
