The Chinese word "头疼" (tóutेंg) literally means "head pain" and is used to describe a headache. It is composed of two characters: "头" (tóu), which means "head", and "疼" (téng), which means "pain". The word "头疼" is commonly used in everyday speech and can refer to a variety of types of headaches, from mild to severe. It can also be used figuratively to describe a difficult or troublesome situation, similar to the English expression "a pain in the neck". For example, someone might say "这个项目让我头疼" ("This project is giving me a headache") to express frustration or annoyance.
