Can't find all Hello's?

I thought it would be as simple the code I wrote, seems to not pick up all Hello's

I also deleted certain parts of the code as i thought my browser/computer doesn't support or know what mandarin or cantonese were (Sorry if those weren't the languages!)

loop.py 
hellos = [
    "Hello",
    "Tungjatjeta",
    "Grüßgott",
    "Вiтаю",
    "dobrý den",
    "hyvää päivää"
]
for hellos in [
    "Hello",
    "Tungjatjeta",
    "Grüßgott",
    "Вiтаю",
    "dobrý den",
    "hyvää päivää"
]:
    print (hellos + "World")

You're actually really close. when you are using a for loop to iterate through a list whatever follows for is a temporary variable

random_list = ['bananas', 'pears', 'oranges']

for  fruit in random_list:      #fruit has no meaning until I used it as the reference for what's being iterated
    print(fruit)
                                               #the temporary variable only has meaning within the scope of the loop 
                                               #and can be literally any variable
for x in random_list:
for doohicky in random_list:
for mick_jagger in random_list:

So any variable can be used as long as it isn't a preset variable already defined.

for (temp variable) in (list to be iterated from):

Hope that helps :)

The problem here seems to be that you are writing the list twice. Instead of beginning with hellos, and then writing it again for your loop, try this:

hellos = [
    "Hello",
    "Tungjatjeta",
    "Grüßgott",
    "Вiтаю",
    "dobrý den",
    "hyvää päivää"
]

for x in hellos:
    print (x + "World")
