Etwas betrifft alle Länder oder Orte auf der Erde.
The German word "weltweit" is an adverb that means "worldwide" or "globally." It is composed of "Welt" (world) and "weit" (wide or far-reaching). "Weltweit" is used to describe something that pertains to or is applicable on a global scale.
Similar words in German include "global" (global), "international" (international), and "länderübergreifend" (cross-country).
The difference between "weltweit" and these similar words lies in scope: "weltweit" specifically refers to the entire world, while "international" often refers to relations or comparisons between countries, and "global" emphasizes the concept of being applicable on a planetary scale but may not denote the same cultural references as “weltweit”.
