The word for animal in Russian is животное. You will notice that it resembles the word живу ‘I live,’ and indeed the root жив- means ‘live.’ In fact in Old Russian the word живот meant life, although nowadays it means stomach. You'll note that животное has a neuter adjectival ending. I suspect that it originally was part of the phrase «животное существо» ‘living being,’ although that's just a guess. In any case, the word is now used as a noun, even though its endings are adjectival, and for that reason we can call it a deadjectival noun. It declines like this:

Notice particularly that since the word is neuter, the accusative singular does NOT copy the genitive singular.

The verb pair привозить/привезти is usually translate as ‘to bring.’ It conjugates like this:

The bringer appears in the nominative case, and the thing brought appears in the accusative:

When you bring something to a person, the person appears in the dative case.

When you bring something to a place, you usually use в/на + accusative:

The verb pair приносить/принести is usually translated as ‘to bring.’ It conjugates like this:

The bringer appears in the nominative case, and the thing brought appears in the accusative:

When you bring something to a person, the person appears in the dative case.

When you bring something to a place, you usually use в/на + accusative:

For English speakers we must keep in mind a couple caveats about this verb pair. First of fall, since the verb implies taking something somewhere in your own arms, you can't use it to say you brought a person to a place unless the person you bring is a baby. Secondly, if you bring something from another city or country, you should use the verb привозить/привезти, which implies motion by vehicle.

Привет is a friendly greeting that is usually transated into English as ‘hi.’ It is a friendly greeting used among people who are already on good terms:

The word is often used with передавать/передать to mean “say hi to so-and-so” or “give regards to”:

My favorite use of привет is in the phrase «с приветом», which means that the person you're talking about has some quirks or is crazy or abnormal.

С миру по нитке — голому рубаха.
Just a thread from everyone in the world, provides a man a shirt.
Literal translation: A thread each in the whole world- a shirt for the naked.

I like this quote. It's very Russian to take a sentimental concept like unity or charity and put it into practical terms. This proverb came up while I was searching for interesting uses for the word нитка-the singular for "thread."

*Please note that in the genitive case you would not say "нитк" but "ниток." A lot of times when there is a genitive for a word with a hard consonant followed by "ка" the letter о will appear and divide the consonant and the к.

Here are some sentences:

Мама, где мои нитки?
Mom, where is all my thread?

Мне нужна красная нитка, пуговица оторвалась.
A button came off, I need the red thread.

Мы все нитки потеряли?! Как я буду шить без ниток?
We lost all the thread?! How am I supposed to sew with no thread?

Держи нитку с иголкой.
Keep the thread with the needle.
