Ko te kōingo o te ngākau me te mahara whakaingoingo ki tētahi tūāhuatanga o mua, ki tētahi wā o mua, ki tētahi tangata, ki tētahi kaupapa, ki te aha kē atu rānei o mua.
The wistful longing and sentimental remembrance of an historical event, an historical period of time, a person, an initiative or anything else from a bygone era.
whēnakonako - to be wistful, yearn
Ka pakeke haere ia ka tīmata tana whēnakonako ki te wā e tamariki ana.
Ko tētahi āhuatanga o te whēnakonako, ko te maharatanga ki ngā mea papai o mua, me te memeha anō o ngā maharatanga kino.
He aha ia i whēnakonako ai ki te wā i mua i te aranga ake o te hangarau rorohiko?
