Slainte--pronounced with a broad 'a', accent on the first syllable, and the second syllable pronounced as in Che (Guevara). Though this technically means 'health,' it is most commonly used as a farewell.
As with the word 'yes,' Gaelic does not properly have a word that translates directly as good-bye, but uses various blessings for the purpose.

In Scottish Gaelic the most common phrase is "Mar sin leat" which is singular and informal, and "Mar sin leibh" for more than one person OR older people as a form of respect. In Irish Gaelic you would hear "Slán leat" (or "leibh" plural) which is said to a person leaving you, or "Slán agat" (or "agaibh") which you would say to someone if *you* are the one leaving. It literally means "health with you/at you" and a more modern, common way is just saying "Slán!"

"Slainte" in Scottish Gaelic is used for toasts mainly.
