Notes
GENERAL INFO
Tête is a feminine noun meaning "head." It refers to the top part of the body.
USAGE
You'll use it for the physical head ("J'ai mal à la tête" - I have a headache) and also figuratively for leadership or the top ("Il est en tête du classement" - He is at the top of the ranking).
TRAPS
Be aware of idiomatic expressions. There are a lot of them...
"Faire la tête" means to sulk, not "make the head."
"Perdre la tête" translates to losing one's mind, not just the physical head.
"Se prendre la tête" means get worked up, not "to talke one's head".
