معنی
To be resistant to change or persuasion.
زمینه فرهنگی
Being 'tête dure' is sometimes seen as a regional trait, particularly attributed to people from Brittany (les Bretons), who are stereotypically known for their persistence and stubbornness. In Quebec, the phrase is used identically, but you might also hear 'avoir la tête de cochon' (to have the head of a pig) for extreme stubbornness.
Don't use 'être'
This is the #1 mistake. Remember: You HAVE a hard head, you ARE NOT a hard head.
Gender Agreement
Even if you are a man, say 'J'ai la tête dure'. The 'e' on 'dure' stays because 'tête' is feminine.
