Teräksinen

Teräksinen is a Finnish term that translates to "steel" or "made of steel." It is commonly used as a descriptor for objects, materials, or qualities that possess the strength, durability, and resilience associated with steel. This can range from literal descriptions of items manufactured from steel, such as a steel door (teräksinen ovi) or a steel beam (teräksinen palkki), to more figurative applications referring to a strong will or unyielding character.

In a metaphorical sense, "teräksinen" can describe a person's determination, resolve, or mental fortitude. For instance, someone with a "teräksinen tahto" possesses an unbreakable will. This figurative usage highlights the perceived inflexibility and strength inherent in the material.
