Definition
天底下 (tiān dǐ xià) is a colloquial phrase meaning 'in the whole world' or 'on earth'. It's used to emphasize scope or to express a universal statement, often in contrasts or rhetorical questions. Note that the correct pinyin is tiān dǐ xià, not tiān de as listed in the source data; the characters are 天底下, with 底下 meaning 'under'.
