Hi Gil,

Your code will output "greeting How are you?" instead of "Hi there, Tal. How are you?". You should use your variable greeting, not the string "greeting", and make sure you have the punctuation correct. We can also combine the last couple strings you have:

solution.swift 
// Enter your code below

let name = "Tal"

let greeting = "Hi there, \(name)"

let finalGreeting = greeting + ". How are you?"

Make sense?

Cheers :beers:
