Significado
Being very healthy.
Contexto cultural
In Finland, physical fitness is often linked to 'Sisu'. Being in top shape is seen as a sign of mental strength and reliability. Finnish sports commentators use this phrase constantly during the Winter Olympics, especially for cross-country skiers. Most Finnish men (and some women) complete military service where the 'Cooper test' is a major event. This phrase is often used when someone beats their military-era fitness levels. Finnish companies often invest in 'TYKY-päivät' (work ability days). Being 'elämänsä kunnossa' is a common goal mentioned in these corporate wellness programs.
