"in today's world"
What is the German translation for "in today's world"? Google translate says - "in der heutigen Welt - but since "Welt" is feminine why is it not "in der heutiger Welt"?

OK, thank you for that - it is dative. Clearly the website I used to check it is wrong as it gives the feminine cases as heutige, heutige, heutiger, heutiger. https://www.verbformen.com/declension/adjectives/?w=heutig
Further research reveals there are "strong declensions" (adjective on its own), weak declensions (adjective after the definite articles, der , die das, and others), and mixed declensions (adjective after the indefinite articles, ein(e) and others like mein(e) and kein(e). Who said German is not complicated?
