to have grit

意思

🌍

文化背景

In Italy, 'grinta' is often valued more than technical skill. Fans love a 'mediano' (midfielder) who runs for 90 minutes with grinta more than a lazy genius. In the competitive world of Italian fashion and design, 'grinta' is seen as the entrepreneurial spirit needed to survive global competition. In the South, 'grinta' is often associated with 'riscatto' (redemption)—the drive to succeed despite systemic economic difficulties. On Italian talent shows, judges frequently use the word to describe a performer's 'stage presence' and 'hunger' for success.

🎯

⚠️

Don't overdo the 'look'

Remember that while it comes from 'fierce face', you don't actually need to scowl to have grinta!
