The verb pair приглашать/пригласить means ‘to invite.’ Note the с~ш alternation in the perfective:

The person you invite goes in the accusative case:

The place you invite someone to appears in a motion phrase, so you often have в/на followed by the accusative case:

You can also use к + dative to specify the person one is going to visit, which more often than not is specified with к себе or к нам, and в гости is often included as well:

It's possible to get names after к as well:

Nobody likes chores. And everyone has that one chore they despise above all others. I would rather be tied to a chair and forced to watch reruns of “Barney and Friends” than iron clothing. Thank goodness I live in the century of electric dryers. The Russian word гладить means to iron or press.

Я ненавижу гладить одежду.
I hate to iron clothes.

Что вы гладите?
What are you ironing?

Я глажу мою юбку.
I am ironing my skirt.

Железный человек гладил рабочую униформу.
Iron Man was ironing his work uniform.

* Although гладить translates to iron it has nothing to do with the metal, iron. For that you would use железо.

The verb pair переводить/перевести means ‘to translate’ and is conjugated like this:

This is a typical transitive verb; that is, it has a do-er (grammatical subject) that occurs in the nominative case, and a done-to (grammatical direct object) that occurs in the accusative case:

The language you are translating from appears in the genitive case after the preposition с and the language you are translating to appears in the accusative case after the preposition на:

So how would you say in Russian “How do you translate ‘обезьяна’ into English?” A beginning Russian student named Hiram with good study habits would probably say “Как ты переводишь «обезьяна» на английский?” That's a perfectly grammatical translation. The Russians would understand the translation. But it's not the way they would normally say it. For those kind of generic questions the Russians usually use either indefinite personal constructions, that is, verbs in the present tense они form, or infinitive constructions. So theoretically one could say:

That is a perfectly grammatical construction, and it's definitely better than Hiram's original translation, but the infinitive constructions are better yet:

Even better are phrases that don't use ‘to translate’ at all:

How do you say ‘обезьяна’ in English?

Как сказать по-английски «обезьяна»?
Как по-анлглийски будет «обезьяна»?

Как по-анлглийски «обезьяна»?

And when you combine that with the answer, you get short dialogs like this:

When you want to say ‘to meet’ in the sense of ‘to get together’ with someone, then you can use the reflexive verb встречаться/встретиться. It is conjugated like this:

Of course, the place you meet at is expressed as a location phrase, i.e., using forms like в + prepositional case, на + prepositional case, or у + genitive case. Adverbs of location work as well.

Sometimes you are walking down the street and suddenly come across someone you haven't expexted. To describe that situation in Russian you can use the verb встречать/встретить, which means ‘to meet.’ It is conjugated like this:

The verb actually has several meanings, and the first one is ‘to meet’ in the sense of ‘to spot’ someone somewhere, ‘to come across’ someone somewhere:

The verb also means ‘to meet’ in the sense of ‘to make contact’ with someone at their point of arrival:

One mistake English speakers often make is to use this verb when asking when Russians first met their wives, husbands, etc. In that context it's better to use the verb знакомиться/познакомиться ‘to become acquainted’:
