Hi Justin

The task is asking you to loop through the list hellos and print out each word followed by the word "World". So for the first item in the list it should print out "Hello World". You dont need to check if greetings is equal to hello but concatinate greetings and the word "World".

see below

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

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

which is very confusing because the in video, aside from the example powerpoint in the introduction that briefly gives examples of the for loops and while loops which shows " print(greetings+" World") " it is not demonstrated anywhere else in the lesson therefore how are we able to apply what hasnnt been directly pointed out?

but thank you. many issues i am running into isnt because i cannot figure it out, it is either because the instructions are unclear or the information has been presented cryptically

Hi Justin

Sorry your running into so many issues. When ever i don't understand something i will go back and watch the video again or try and replicate whats being taught into my own way. If i encounter errors i try to fix it which helps me understand whats going on. In terms of the challenges, well whats asked of you sometimes is not in the video's and the reason for that is to challenge your understanding of the topic and in most cases that helps a lot ( Well it did for me anyway) . Hope that answers your question.
