Yeah, it's "Nihao," and I've also heard "Nihao-ma." I guess the latter is formal.

Ni hao----hello(you good)
Ni hao ma?---how are you(you good ?)
xie xie ----thank you (pronounced like shay shay)
tai gui le-----too expensive (pronounced like tie gway le)
zai jian--good bye
ming tian jian---see you tomorrow

Ni hao literally means you good. Ni hao ma means you good? Either is acceptable. The tones are important.
Ni is said in a raising tone, like a question. Hao is a dipthong. First it drops, then it raises, so it is a longer sound. It sounds like how? Ni sounds like Knee? Ma has no tone. It is very short.
