I had a friend tell me this once, and it was one of the most awesome things i've heard. I think it means something like "the light in me sees the light in you." But, I don't know...

Do you mean "Namaste"? It means "The spirit in me meets the same spirit in you." It's an acknowledgment of equality.

Its a word.
Namaste. Hindi from Sanskrit.
That is a word of respect, generally accompanied by one of three hand gestures. A a method of expressing respect or honor for another, generally the palms are placed together in front of the chest with a slight bow. Greater honor is accorded by another technique, palms to chest then to forehead. The highest honor is accorded by continuing by raising the palms above the head. The highest honor is EXTREMELY rare, and accorded only in very special situations.
A native speaker could explain it better, but here's a wiki link.

Namaste is an Indian expression used as a greeting or upon parting, by putting the palms of the hands together in prayer position. It means, “I honor the Spirit in you which is also in me.”
This, of course, is also a way of saying, “I recognize that we are all equal.”

Daimoku or Odaimoku is now adopted as an English word. 'O' is an honorific prefix. Daimoku means "title." It stands for Namu Myôhô Renge Kyô. Namu comes from the Sanskrit namas, meaning "honor to." It was translated into Chinese as kimyô, which means, "I devote myself to." In Japanese, it is treated in most cases as an honorific prefix.

The correct spelling is Namaste. Namaste or Namaskar which is used when both hello and goodbye would be used in English. The meaning is quite different, however.
NA reflects a simple negation. MAH points to ego, refering "i" and "my".Thus namaḥ means "bow, obeisance, reverential salutation, adoration to your inner truth", but not next to your ego. TE is the dative of the personal pronoun tvam, "you". A literal translation of namaḥ te is thus "reverential salutation to your inner." It is commonly accompanied by a slight bow made with the hands pressed together, palms touching, in front of the chest.
In a religious context this word can be taken to mean any of these:
* The Spirit in me meets the same Spirit in you.
* I greet that place where you and I are one.
* I salute the Light of God in you.
* I bow to the divine in you.
* I recognize that within each of us is a place where Divinity dwells, and when we are in that place, we are One.
* My higher energy salutes your higher energy.
