EN: sense of regret over a loss or missed opportunity; what a waste
This is the official feeling of "Sayang!". It's the ghost of the 1-piece-chicken-with-rice you could have upsized to 2-piece. It's the "what if" when you see your ex looking good. It’s the pain of dropping your ice cream, the regret of not buying that shirt on sale. **Hinayang** is the patron saint of missed shots and wasted opportunities.
A variant of `panghihinayang`, derived from `sayang` (waste, pity). The `-in-` infix denotes the feeling or state.
Often used as a noun ('ang hinayang ko') or in the verb form 'nanghihinayang'.
