What is wrong with my for loop code?

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

Honestly? Nothing is really wrong. This is an example of challenges being picky. You must follow the instructions to the letter. This means taking into consideration capitalization, punctuation, and white spaces when printing strings. Your code is printing the word + "world". This will result in the first print being "Helloworld" instead of "Hello World". Take a look at the formatting needed:

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

You were right! I needed to check my capitalization and spacing. Thanks! I'll look out for that in the future.
