I find it interesting that some languages have words to describe certain things, but other languages don't. Maybe we should adopt some.

 Um, its usually based on a cult influence. or early attempt at science. as a means to form culture. why the lack of adaption,? a science search! What does it surprise you? It seems to make the human timeline of history and development fun in my view.

Sisu
"A Finnish term that basically means the quality of being a badass. " uhm... no... nothing to do with being "badass", that slang word doesnt describe well the word sisu: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sisu
