Depending on how it is used:

"Sayang naman." What a pity.

"Huwag kang magsayang." Do not be wasteful.

"Sayang lang ang oportunidad." It is a wasted opportunity, or it is a missed opportunity.

that depends on the usage

if you say...

sayang yung pagkain = that means " such a waste of food'

sayang siya = what a pity or she's a pity


mariz
It may depend on the sentence, like it could be how unfortunate, too bad or wasteful.

Depending on the usage, the word, SAYANG, can mean:

a) too bad - as in: "Sayang, i forgot to bring my camera."

b) a waste - as in: "I can't believe you dropped that whole tray of food. That's so, 'sayang."

I am Japanese, but I speak Tagalog a little.
"Sayang!" ( interjection) means " What a pity!" or " Too bad!"
"Masayang" ( verb) means " to be wasted".
