Notes on Meaning

• The term 'đầu gió' is a compound noun formed from 'đầu' (head, beginning) and 'gió' (wind). It specifically refers to the point or place where the wind is most directly felt. It carries a connotation of being exposed and potentially uncomfortable or risky due to the direct wind, as illustrated in the common warning about catching a cold. It is not typically used to describe a pleasant breeze.
