Refers to someone who refuses to acknowledge an obvious truth or reality.

🌍

文化背景

In Spain, this proverb is often used in political discussions to criticize 'fanatismo' (fanaticism) where supporters ignore their party's flaws. In Mexico, it's common to hear this in family contexts, especially regarding 'hijos consentidos' (spoiled children) whose parents ignore their bad behavior. Argentines often use this phrase with a touch of irony or 'sarcasmo' when someone is being particularly 'terco' (stubborn). The phrase is a staple in 'telenovelas' (soap operas) to highlight a character's tragic denial of a lover's betrayal.

🎯

The 'Resigned' Tone

When saying this, use a slightly downward intonation at the end and perhaps a small shrug. It conveys that you've given up trying to convince the person.

⚠️

Don't use with strangers

This phrase can be seen as calling someone stubborn or foolish. Only use it with friends or when talking about a third person.

Technically yes, but it's much less common. Proverbs are usually 'frozen' in the masculine form as a general statement.
