| Would you take a look at the following sentence? #1 My husband is a good cook. I think #1 means that my husband is good at cooking. So if you want to describe the pro cook, how do you say? And how about describing the pro player? #2 Nobu is a good swimmer. In this sentence, is Nobu always not a pro swimmer? Would you give me proper expressions? Thank you. |

| It would depend on context- without knowing whther they are pro or not, 'good' doesn't give us that information. With the first example, you could use 'chef', but I don't know of any word for swimmer that distinguishes a pro. |
