What does sayonara means Japanese?

It can be translated as 'good bye,' although it's not used in the same way as 'good bye' is used in English. It's more like the French 'adieu,' or even English 'farewell' -- it's something said to people you will not be seeing again, or for a very long time.

What does Su mean in Japanese?

In Japanese you can see 'su' in ending of many words, such as verbs , in which case it is part of that word and doesn't have an independent meaning, 'like korosu : to kill'.

But after particles like 'de' or as part of 'imasu' it's just an auxiliary verb roughly translated to 'to be' in general. It has also an outdated usage as an honoridic (such as -dono, -sama, -san, etc) which is used to show respect after names.

What does it mean when someone puts dono after a persons name?

Far as I can tell you, -dono was used to address samurais back in the time. It also would be used by people of high mentality or ethics and with respectable characteristics, like masters of some arts, people of high social status (not necessarily rich) to address each other, it's not as respectful as -sama and not as ordinary or common as -san.

It has no use in daily common conversations nowadays, but in cases of high formality it can be used. Actually it would be humorous usage if used among the commons.
