whole vs. full vs. complete

[Nicklexoxo]

Hello everyone,

I have never had any problems with them, but for me they have same meanings, therefore I want to know a really difference between them. My dictionaries did not give me a clear answer.

For exapmle:
All my life I say: the whole world, but can I say: the full world or the complete world? They sound strange for me, but I don't see more differences than "strange sound".

Thanks in advance.
Yours sincerely,
Nickle.

I would not say "complete world" or full world". You can say the entire world.

Follow the native speakers, Nickle! The 'whole world' is common usage. Full world and complete world are awkward and seldom used in conversation.
