Day 3 prompt: Culture (ethnicity or a certain aspect of it)
A conceptgender term related to the concept of Sisu for gender reasons. This concept is quite a well known aspect of the Finnish culture and known thing about Finns especially within our history (and fun fact, it had been studied at some point even because it wasn't understood as a concept by others outside Finland), it is often spoken as something that is integral to understanding my culture.
Sisu as a concept is a lot of things squeezed into one and it doesn't have only one way of definition to it as every finn has their own understanding of it and so does the outside world have their own understanding of it. However it's meaning can be broken down to extraordinary determination in the face of extreme adversity, and courage that is presented typically in situations where success is unlikely. It expresses an action taken against odds, and displays courage and resoluteness in the face of adversity; in other words, deciding on a course of action, and then adhering to it even if repeated failures ensue.
It is a concept related to going beyond one's mental or physical capacity even when there is a big change of failure in all simple terms.
One could compare Sisu to equanimity (even if it, more or less, entails an element of stress management more than equanimity, it is still comparable). and it could be compared to the metaphor grit in English yet still not grasp the exact same concept as what Sisu is to us. The concept of Sisu has over time also turned to be a trait and it's inherently neutral in nature (and be used in both positive and negative context).

Etymology: Sisu + concept + ic
Sisu as a word is untranslatable due to there not being any translation from Finnish to English for Sisu.
Requested by none, coined for @pawfuu 's coining event. :3
I don't wish to dictate who can and cannot use a concept to explain one's gender, however due to it being a part of a culture I ask for folks outside of it who may find this label fitting to at least be respectful to its origin, what it stands for, and where it's from, etc. Thank you. /Gen
