tension

The French word 'tension' is used similarly to the English term 'tension', referring specifically to physical, emotional, or mental strain or tightness. It can be used in both medical and casual contexts, meaning it fits into a sentence just as the English term would. For example, 'J'ai beaucoup de tension au travail en ce moment' translates to 'I'm under a lot of tension at work right now'.
