Kollaa kestää (Finnish for "Kollaa will hold") is an expression of perseverance and resolve in the face of impending difficulty or crisis.
The phrase originated in the Second World War.
During the Battle of Kollaa, Major General Hägglund asked, "Will Kollaa hold?" (Kestääkö Kollaa?).
Lieutenant Aarne Juutilainen replied, "Kollaa will hold, unless the orders are to run away" ("Kyllä kestää, ellei käsketä karkuun juoksemaan").
The Finnish punk band Kollaa Kestää uses the name.
