**Tips to remember the German word ‘die Welt’:**
– Connect ‘Welt’ with the English word ‘world’. Both start with the letter ‘W’, emphasizing their related meanings.
– Think of the phrase, “welcome to my world,” and replace ‘welcome’ with ‘Wilkommen’, “Wilkommen in meiner Welt”.
– Remember the association between ‘Welt’ and ‘well-being’—consider how the world is a place for all our well-being.

**Explanations:**
– ‘Die’ is the feminine definite article in German, used here because ‘Welt’ is a feminine noun.
– ‘Welt’ comes from the Old High German word ‘weralt’, which itself stems from a compound of words meaning ‘age of man’.

**Other words that mean the same thing:**
– ‘Erdball’ is a more poetic or older term for world, emphasizing the spherical shape.
– ‘Erdkreis’ is similar to ‘Erdball’ and is another less common term for the globe.
– ‘Universum’ relates more to the universe but sometimes can be used poetically for ‘world’.
