no good vs not good

The phrases "not good" and "no good" may seem similar, but there is a

subtle difference in meaning between them.

"Not good" is typically used to express a negative eval‎uation of

something's quality or performance. It indicates that something is

unsatisfactory or below average. For example, "The food at the

restaurant was not good" means that the food was of poor quality or

didn't taste good.

"No good", on the other hand, is typically used to indicate that

something is completely useless or of no value. It suggests that

something is not adequate for the purpose it was intended for.

For example, "This old computer is no good for running modern software"

means that the computer is not capable of running modern software.

In summary, "not good" suggests that something falls short of a certain

standard or expectation, while "no good" suggests that something is

completely inadequate or useless for a particular purpose.
