You should use "ko'a goi" for that. Neither "[su'o] da poi" nor "ko'a
poi" will do what you want.

If you need a selbri to identify the referent of "ko'a" you could also
use "ko'a noi".

"da" can't really be used to refer to anything.

"da" is a slot marker for a quantifier. The quantifier that binds it
tells you how many things from the domain will satisfy some predicate
when they fill the slot (or slots) marked by "da".
