The biological heart, or sydän, is a vital organ. Its primary function is to pump blood, delivering oxygen and nutrients to all parts of the body. Medical discussions and health-related information in Finland would use the term sydän when referring to this organ.

The concept of sydämiä is deeply embedded in Finnish traditions and expressions of sentiment. Whether in a scientific or a romantic context, the term sydämiä encapsulates both the physical and the emotional essence of the heart.
