Remember!
Native speakers of German sometimes confuse “boss”, “chef” and “chief”.
A “chef” is a professional cook:
● She left school at 16, trained as a chef and now has her own restaurant.
Although the noun “chief” is sometimes used colloquially in British English to mean “boss” (“OK, chief, as you wish”), it is mostly used in
connection with organizations such as the military or the police, or as a title for the leader of some communities:
● He’s police chief in Arlington, supervising a staff of 32 officers.
● Zulu tribal leader Chief Buthelezi joined Mandela’s government in 1994.
“Chief” can be used adjectivally as part of some job titles, such as “chief executive officer” (CEO) or “editor-in-chief”.
