/Sounds like 'TEHR-koh'/

Stubborn as a mule — someone who won't change their mind no matter what evidence or argument you throw at them. Being terco isn't just firm, it's a wall; they've made up their mind and the conversation is over whether you like it or not.

Example

"Es tan terco que ni su mamá lo convence."

"No seas terco, ya te mostraron que estabas equivocado. → He's so stubborn that not even his mom can convince him."

"Don't be stubborn, they already showed you that you were wrong."
