Onko Sinulla Sisua?

Do you have an inner strength called SISU?

Do you embody sisu, a unique Finnish concept that has no direct translation in English? 

Sisu is often described as a combination of determination, resilience, courage, and perseverance in the face of challenges. How do you access the essence of sisu? Do you feel sisu guiding your actions and decisions? 

People who often benefit from sisu are those who face significant challenges, adversity, or difficult situations in their lives. Can you think of someone you know, whether it's a family member, friend, or a well-known figure from history or the present, who embodies sisu in an extraordinary way?

What are your thoughts on sisu, how do you experience it? There are no wrong answers, lets just share experiences! 

Show us your sisu by completing your › A2 - level in Finnish!
