meaning of "hou hei" and "gei yik"

[Matt]

I think "hou hei" has to do with some sort of emotion...

Thanks~!

[Radagasty]

Hou hei 浩氣 is short for 浩然之氣. It is the Mencian 孟子 aim of self-cultivation.

Gey yik 記憶 means 'memory'.

These are, at least, my guesses. It would be helpful if you could supply the context, tones or characters.

Well, to me hou hei (don't know the character for hou) but means I don't have the breath/patience to spare.

[Casey]

hou hei = 豪气 heroic, brave, daring all combined together

gey yik = 记忆 memory

[Matt]

So would "hou hei" if it was I don't have the breath/patience to spare...would you say...Ngo mo hou hei (I don't have the breath)?
