Meaning

Primary

The World

Alternatives

Society, The Universe

Word Type

noun

Explanation

The generations (and society!) that make up the world create our world. So this is the World, society, or the Universe. 

This word is used more like "the biggest dog in the world" or "the fattest cat in the world." For example, you'll hear words like 世界一番 (number one in the world) thrown around a lot.

Reading

せかい

Explanation

This is a jukugo word, which usually means on'yomi readings from the kanji. If you know the readings of your kanji you'll know how to read this as well.

Context

あいつは自分の世界に閉じこもっていて、そこから出てこようとしないんだ。
