The Meaning of Sisu

Sisu is a Finnish term loosely translated into English as strength of will, determination, perseverance and acting rationally in the face of adversity. However, the word is widely considered to lack proper translation into any other language. Sisu has been described as being integral to understanding Finnish culture. The literal meaning is equivalent in English to "having guts", and the word derives from sisus, which means something inner or interior.
