Problem with multiple hellos and adding 'World' loop

Hello guys,

I was wondering if you could look at my code and help me understand what I'm doing syntax wise in my 'for' loop that is messing this up. Thanks

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

In your line: hello in hellos the keyword 'hello' is acting as a single placeholder for the loop; the keyword 'hellos' is the entity being looped. Everything in the parenthesis is being printed and I noticed that you have "+ 'World' outside of your parenthesis. So in short, you need to print each individual item in the list 'hellos' by using the keyword 'hello' in your print statement and make sure that your "+ 'World'" is inside of your parenthesis in your print statement.

Does that make sense?

Hey John

You need to convert the hello to a string, try something like this instead.

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