Commonly written "Namaste", it is pronounced as "Namastay"

google is working for me.

 

no no no. I'm certain it's "amaste"

Edit: I just read that thing the person above me posted and I guess that's it (thanks person above me! ) But I could have sworn I've heard people say "amaste"

 

where'd you see it/hear it?

 

I saw it somewhere, I think in a movie. then one of my friends said it and he said it was an indian thing

 

the only thing i know that's close to amaste (never her amaste) is namaste, and as i think patrick (soullesschaos) said, it's an indian greeting of respect

 

the oxford dictonairy online said it doesn't exist...so it can't be english
