How about these:

Damatte kudasai (please shut up!)
Mata ashita (see you tomorrow)


I think they're right. Anyone, feel free to correct me.

Hun, I don't know where you got these from, but you really, really, really need to go somewhere different to learn proper Japanese.

凄い Sugoi - amazing, awesome
かわいい Kawaii - cute
おはようございます Ohayou gozaimasu - good morning (formal) To your friends you should just say おはよう ohayou.
さようなら Sayounara - goodbye (when you won't see the person for a long time/ever)
こんにちは Konnichiwa - hello, good day, good afternoon
待って Matte - informal way to say "please wait". To be properly polite to a stranger you should say something such as 待ってください matte kudasai.
外人 Gaijin - foreigner, i.e. someone from a foreign country. This word can be construed as rude sometimes and it is recommended to use 外国人 gaikokujin instead.
ありがとうございます Arigatou gozaimasu - thank you (formal/polite)
すみません Sumimasen - I'm sorry/excuse me (formal/polite; can be ued to get people's attention like English 'excuse me')
頑張って Ganbatte - informal way to say "Do your best!" or "Work hard and give it your all!" Is used in situations when English speakers would say things like "Good luck!"
お元気ですか。 Ogenki desu ka. - How are you? (formal/polite) Sometimes used as a greeting, but not actually that often unless you've actually been ill recently and there's reason to inquire about your health.
はい Hai - Yes; I understand; 'roger that'. Does not necessarily mean 'I agree' or 'I will do what you asked me to do'.
いいえ Iie - No. This is a pretty strong word that you should avoid in most everyday conversation.

Damatsute kudasai (please shut up!)

That should be 'damatte kudasai'. Which is a strange combination of a rude order with a formal 'please', so I guess you'd use it when you were mad at your boss and telling him to shut up smile This phrase will make people angry, so be careful!

Oh yes, half size 'tsu'. Sorry. xD
And I gathered it would make people angry, I just find it a fun thing to know how to say. xD
