skull

The German word 'Schädel' translates to 'skull' in English. It is used to refer to the bony structure of the head that supports the face and forms a protective cavity for the brain. In medical contexts, it is often used to describe the structure and its components, such as the cranium and facial bones. In everyday language, it can also be used metaphorically to express strong feelings or thoughts, as in 'einen dicken Schädel haben' (to have a thick skull), meaning to be stubborn or slow to understand.
