It would help to know what your larger goal is, but here's a simple
version:

DICTIONARY = {
  "hello" => ["Hello!", "Howdy!", "G'day!"],
  "goodbye" => ["Goodbye!", "Later!"]
}

def random_t(string)
  variants = DICTIONARY[string]
  variants ? variants.rand : nil
end

random_t("hello")
random_t("goodbye")
