to be alive

意味

Existing as a living being.

🌍

文化的背景

The concept of 'Sisu' is often linked to being 'elossa'. It's about surviving against the odds, especially in nature. In medical triage worldwide, 'is the patient alive' is the first question. In Finnish, 'onko elossa' is the precise term used by paramedics. Finns often say they feel 'most alive' in the silence of the forest or the heat of the sauna, rather than in social settings. On Finnish social media, #elossa is used for adventurous activities like hiking, swimming in ice water, or extreme sports.
