How it's used
Borrowed from Japanese via pop culture, this term carries a trendy and slightly informal connotation compared to traditional terms like 專家 or 大師. It is frequently used in media and social contexts to describe someone who has mastered a specific hobby or niche skill, such as photography, gaming, or DIY projects. It emphasizes practical proficiency and enthusiasm rather than formal academic or professional credentials.

Common mistake
Do not use this to describe someone with high-level professional or academic authority, as it sounds too casual or marketing-oriented. For formal roles like a doctor or a professor, stick to 專家.
