I can't figure out the .nav-item shorthand for transition.

I think I've tried everything here....what am I missing? I need the shorthand to make the nav-item transition over one -half second. Thanks in advance....

style.css 
/* nav-item transitions ---------- */

.nav-item {
    flex-grow: 1;
  transition-duration: .5s;
}

.nav-item:hover {
    flex-grow: 2;
}

/* nav icon transitions ---------- */

.icon {
  right: -25px;
}

.nav-item:hover .icon {
    right: 12%;
}
index.html

    <div class="container">

        <nav class="nav">
            <a class="nav-item" href="#">About <i class="icon material-icons">person</i></a>
            <a class="nav-item" href="#">Work <i class="icon material-icons">work</i></a>
        </nav>

    </div>
</body>
</html>

You are very close!! You just have to tell it which property:

.nav-item {
    flex-grow: 1;
  transition: flex-grow;
  transition-duration: .5s;
}

Ah, I did not think I had to repeat that information in the rule. Didn't seem concise. But, it worked. Thanks!
