Yáʼátʼééh! This word has different uses, not only as "hello".
Here is some information about it:

Additionally, “Yá’át’ééh abiní” is the way to say good morning in Navajo. Here you’re saying “it is good, the morning.” Notice -át’é-, it is another word meaning “it is.”
It can also be used with ‘shił’ as in “shił yá’át’ééh” to mean “I like it.” Change it to nił or bił and you’ve got “you like it” and “he/she/it likes it” (Navajo pronouns tend to be gender neutral).
