Usage Note
Tache (no accent) means a stain or spot, as in une tache de café (a coffee stain). It is frequently confused with tâche (with a circumflex), which means a task or chore — a classic learner trap. The adjective taché means stained. Faire tache figuratively means to look out of place, like a blot on the landscape.
Examples
"Il y a une tache sur ta chemise."
Natural Translation
There is a stain on your shirt.
