What is the Hawaiian word for memory?

There isn't one single Hawaiian word for "memory" in the sense of a mental recollection. However, there are several words that could be used depending on the specific context:

* Hoʻomanaʻo: This word means "to remember" or "to recall." It's often used in a more general sense, referring to the act of remembering itself.

* Manaʻo hoʻomanaʻo: This phrase literally translates to "thought of remembering" and implies a more conscious effort to recall something.

* Hoʻomanaʻo i ka wā kahiko: This phrase means "to remember the past" and specifically refers to recalling historical events or experiences.

* Hoʻomanaʻo i ke Akua: This phrase means "to remember God" and is a more religious context, referring to remembering one's spirituality.

The best word to use would depend on the specific context and nuance you are trying to convey.
