Hi there Ionut!

The challenge is asking you to assign a bigger String message to it. One way you can do it is by concatenating the value of "Hi there, " to your name constant, as in:

let greeting = "Hi there, " + name

Now if you understand that, what the challenge is really asking you to do is to practice the string interpolation, so you don't have to sum or add two or more strings but having that value referenced in the same one and only string. Remember how you can use another variable or constant with interpolation:

"Now there's only one string \(variable)"

Don't be afraid to watch again the previous video to strength your knowledge! Hope it helps!
