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 a proper translation into any other language. The literal meaning is equivalent in English to "having guts" but it is more than that. It is a part of one's character.
