    Москве
    Москвой
    Какая разница, умереть богатым или бедным?

    Какой толк от богатства если ты не счастлив.

    Use Москва in the subject of a sentence.
    Use Москву in the object of a sentence.
    Gender does not matter.

    What if she wants to say "The Moscow Kremlin" or "The Moscow State Circus"

    OK. Could someone please explain...
    If the name of the city is москва (Mos-kva)(?) than why the ... is it written
    Mos-cow?

    ???
    I mean.... aren't all we all elsewhere saying it wrong?

    If so...why does it continue is my question.
    It is Winter and Very Cold.

    Then she would have to use Московский and gender of the following noun would matter. I was just giving a couple of examples.

    москва is Russian
    Moscow is English
    That's just the way it is. I don't know how the kva got replaced by cow in the translation.

    BTW, I missread the reason for Meran's comment "Ehm, I'm a she...." Sorry about that.

    Maybe, just maybe, they thought the ква meant корова and therefore translated it as cow?!??!??
    Hei, rett norsken min og du er død.

    OK, so how do you think they spell the city Cologne in German?

    It's a lucky city that can have its name translated/transliterated and still come out close to correct sounding!
