Just looked up Finnish quickly. I never thought of it before but its very strange to me that a basic word like jaksaa is missing from English. It seems as basic a word as want or cant. In English you have to say something cumbersome "I don't have the energy to do that" in Finnish or Swedish you say that in 3 short words.

It took me a while to get that. Yes thats a very useful word. Much information per character. If we could use it as a verb also it would be very useful. Ex: I meh calling her, could you do it?
