big-headed
Usage Note
Cabezudo literally means 'big-headed' (from cabeza, head) but is almost always used figuratively to mean stubborn or pig-headed. The feminine form is cabezuda. It is informal and somewhat playful in tone — closer to 'hardheaded' than a harsher insult. A synonym is terco or testarudo.
Examples
"Es tan cabezudo que nunca cambia de opinión."
Natural Translation
He is so stubborn that he never changes his mind.
