Hello and welcome back to Daily English! Today’s word is “hard-headed.” One more time — hard-headed. Let’s see if you can guess what it means from these clues: 

Your friend’s car clearly has engine trouble, but he refuses to take it to a mechanic. He says, “It’s fine. I’ll fix it myself.” You sigh and think, “He’s so hard-headed.”

Or imagine this: you're traveling in a new country, and your aunt refuses to use Google Maps.
 She insists, “I’ve been here before! I remember the way!” After walking in circles for an hour, you whisper to your cousin, “She’s a little hard-headed, isn’t she?” 

So, what does “hard-headed” mean? It means very stubborn or unwilling to listen to advice or change their mind. A hard-headed person sticks to their own opinion even when it’s clearly not working.

Examples: “My boss is too hard-headed to admit he made a mistake.” “He’s so hard-headed — he’d rather fail on his own than accept help.”
She kept arguing even when she was clearly wrong. Classic hard-headed behavior.”
Fun fact: The word comes from the idea of someone’s head being like a rock — tough, solid, and impossible to get through.
 Your turn!  Have you ever dealt with someone who was super hard-headed — or maybe you were the stubborn one? What happened, and how did it turn out? Please share your feedback, ideas and stories in the comments section.
