Meaning: having the ability to do something, a person who is skillful and capable, but not excellent at something
Synonyms: adequate, able, satisfactory **Similar to adept, but adept has a stronger meaning--adept means the person is very good at something, competent just means someone is good at something
**If you want to say you are very good, you can say "very competent"
"I am competent with the English language"
"She is a competent cook"
"Why are you so incompetent at driving?"
