"Which bille is it?"

[edit]

Near the bottom of Wiktionary:Todo/multiword_French_lemmas there is a line: bille en tête — which bille is it?

My mother language is French. The way I understand this idiom, bille here is used figuratively for the head, and en tête means "in front", so bille en tête is equivalent with tête en avant, it is just less literal. Therefore the two "See also" links at bottom of this article (tête baissée and la tête la première) are IMO synonyms of this phrase; they may belong to a slightly different level of language though. — Tonymec (talk) 19:59, 14 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
