What does ganz mean in German?

What does the german word ganz mean?

It really depends on the context! The literal translation is "whole"

Die ganze Welt = the whole world
Das ist nicht ganz richtig = That’s not wholly correct; That’s almost correct
Nicht ganz so schön = Not very nice (nice as the outter appearance)
Ich habe ganz vergessen dich anzurifen = I totally (wholly) forgot to phone you.
