It is one word. It's origin is unknown, but it is suspected to be a corruption of the French phrase "M'aidez!" ("May-Deh! - Help Me!"). It is the verbal announcement that classically goes with the sending of "S.O.S. - "Mayday, Mayday!

What does mai dai mean?

The radio call "Mayday" is used when there is some life threatening emergency. The word is derived from the French phrase "venez m'aider" which means 'come help me'. In an emergency it is repeated three times - "Mayday Mayday Mayday" - so as to ensure the receiver of the message understands that it is an emergency situation. It's similar to S.O.S. It's an expression said by a person who is about to die (usually in a plane). It comes from the French words "m'aider", which means "help me".
