Hey Nils,

you almost got it right but you don't have to print out the formatted String in this challenge, all you have to do is save the formatted String in the subject variable. Right now you're just printing out the formatted String but you're not assigning it to the subject variable.

This should work:

name = "Nils"

subject = "Treehouse loves {}".format(name)

I hope that helps! :)
