    Чёрт, all this time I thought animate meant something physical - something that can be touched.
    Какая разница, умереть богатым или бедным?

    Какой толк от богатства если ты не счастлив.

    It is tangible or palpable.

    tan·gi·ble adj.

    Discernible by the touch; palpable:
    Possible to touch.

    Can you give me an example where you would use русского as Accusative Neutral?
    You would do that whenever the noun that follows is animate. Like I said earlier these words are very rare, but if you would use one of them then you would have to put "русского" as accusative neutral.

    What is the accusative of that one, anyway? I can't find it anywhere - not in my dictionaries, not on the web... ! Or is it the same as the genitive? Or have I just fried my brains staying up too late ??

    Lingvo says it just so happens to be the same as the nominative.

    животное is Accusative Animate Neuter
    Therefore we should use русского in the following sentence. Right?

    Выпит был коньяк, а вы были навеселе.

    Должно быть, я был нетрезв.
