didn't find all the words in a list

I don't understand why I get this error message-

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

Hello Didier Borel, great job, you have almost understod.

WORD is an placeholder for each value of the list, you put it out of the quotation marks because is a variable not a litteral

I really don't know what to say. Here's the entirety of the code copy/pasted from my passing challenge.

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

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

Your for loop isn't doing what you think it's doing. In your current code, the for loop will print this out to the screen "word World" and it will print that 8 times. Exactly those words. What you want is for it to print the word from the hellos list then print "World" afterwards. This is the for loop you're looking for.

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