Definition
胆量 (dǎn liàng) refers to the courage or nerve to face danger, fear, or risk — it's about having the 'guts' to do something scary. It differs from 勇气 (yǒng qì), which is a broader, more general term for courage in any situation, and from 魄力 (pò lì), which emphasizes decisiveness and bold action in leadership or business.
