Cannot concatenate "str" to list?

Am receiving this bummer, "can only concatenate list (not "str") to list"

loop.py 
hellos = [
    "Hello",
    "Tungjatjeta",
    "Grüßgott",
    "Вiтаю",
    "dobrý den",
    "hyvää päivää",
    "你好",
    "早上好"
]
for hello in hellos:
  print(hellos + " World")

Close doesn't begin to describe it. I don't think you can get any closer without actually getting it right!

Take a look:

for hello in hellos:
  print(hello + " World")

You've said to print hellos... Keep in mind that hellos is the entire list of strings. The variable hello holds one single greeting from that list which is what we're after :smiley:

MacKenzie Stout You're quite welcome! But to be fair, you could've understood it perfectly and the typo monster got you. Happens to me a lot! :thumbsup:
