뜻
It is amazing or incredible
문화적 배경
Swedes are generally reserved with praise. Using this phrase indicates a level of enthusiasm that bypasses the usual 'lagom' (just enough) standard. Sports commentators in Sweden frequently use this phrase for athletes like Zlatan Ibrahimović or Armand Duplantis to emphasize their global dominance. Despite being a secular society, Swedes use many biblical idioms. Most people don't think of Jesus when they say this; they just think of something 'awesome'. In Sweden, nature is often seen as a spiritual experience. This phrase is the go-to for describing the 'sublime' beauty of the wilderness.
Use for food
This is the ultimate compliment for a host. If you say this after a dinner party, you'll be invited back forever.
Don't say 'från'
Even though 'från' means 'from', saying 'inte från denna världen' sounds like a direct translation from English and not a native idiom.

Sarcastic use
You can use it sarcastically for something very expensive: 'Priserna här är inte av denna världen' (The prices here are insane/out of this world).
The 'Wow' factor
Save this for things that truly impress you. Overusing it makes it lose its power.

It is neutral. You can use it in almost any context, from a casual chat to a newspaper review.
Literally, yes, but 99% of the time it's used as a metaphor for excellence.
