minus-squareThirdConsul@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 month agoWhat is the difference between grit and sisu? As in, for you, grit is (this set of qualities) vs sisu is (this set of qualities)? I am asking because the qualities you used so far… They are grit. Its also done quietly, no complaining or boasting about it Is this the difference? Everything looks grit to me.
minus-squareExLisper@lemmy.curiana.netlinkfedilinkarrow-up3arrow-down1·1 month agoYep, sounds like “grit”.
minus-squareBeelzebubEiNukuKoskaan@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 month agoTheres a sort of Finnish flavor to it. Just like theres grit, then theres Aussie grit. Its kind of difficult to put into words, “grit” is just a part of “sisu”, theres more to it.
minus-squareThirdConsul@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down1·1 month agoSorry, but if you can’t articulate the difference I don’t believe there is one.
