Antaa periksi

To give up

معنی

Stopping an effort.

🌍

زمینه فرهنگی

The refusal to 'antaa periksi' is linked to the national mythos of Sisu. It is seen as a defining trait of the Finnish people, especially in the face of nature or war. In ice hockey, fans often chant 'Taistele!' (Fight!) to prevent the team from 'antamasta periksi'. Giving up is the ultimate sin in Finnish sports. There is a growing movement in Finland to recognize 'burnout'. Modern tutors might say that sometimes you *should* give periksi for your health. Traditional parenting emphasized not giving periksi to a child's tantrums to build their character, though this is softening in modern times.
