Hi Jammie, you have the first part fine with looping over each item in the list, but then you have another for loop which isn't valid. I'd recommend naming the variable something more suitable, so I'm going to rename world to hello. Printing each of the items in the hellos list is simply done by:

for hello in hellos:
    print(hello)

Results in:

Hello
Tungjatjeta
Grüßgott
Вiтаю
dobrý den
hyvää päivää
你好
早上好

The question wants you to print out the following:

Hello World
Tungjatjeta World
Grüßgott World
Вiтаю World
dobrý den World
hyvää päivää World
你好 World
早上好 World

Change the part inside the loop so that it prints that instead of just the word in the list.

Hi Jammie,

It looks like you have the concept down, you just need to change the formatting a little bit so you get the desired output. Try this...

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

for hello in hellos:
        print("{} World".format(hello))
