how do i join a string with list and print though for loop?

This is my code...

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

for x in hellos:

print("{} World".format(hellos))
loop.py 
hellos = [
    "Hello",
    "Tungjatjeta",
    "Grüßgott",
    "Вiтаю",
    "dobrý den",
    "hyvää päivää",
    "你好",
    "早上好"

You are formatting in hellos, which is a list. You want to format in the current element you're on in the list when iterating. You called this variable x.

You currently formatting in a list to the .format() function so the string will output this through every iteration of the loop:

["Hello", "Tungjatjeta", "Grüßgott", "Вiтаю", "dobrý den", "hyvää päivää", "你好", "早上好"] World

And, of course the challenge doesn't want that to be printed out.
