{le va cukta} or {ta noi cukta} if it's at medium distance or near the 
listener. {le di'u cukta} if it's the book just mentioned. Otherwise maybe 
{ko'u noi cukta}.

{la moskov.} {moskau} means something like "what all things that rub have in 
common".

Dates are said in the order YYYY-MM-DD when said as a number. DD/MM/YYYY is 
used when said in words: {le pamumoi be le rebjukma'i be le pasovopamoi}, 
with which I would more likely use {ca} than {de'i}.
