Code looks straight forward but it's not pulling all the hellos?

Something I don't understand from the video is why does the variable word(s) identify as each single word in a list? I tried to combine that with the phrase or string "World" but it's not pulling all the different languages. What am I doing wrong or what can I reference to fix this piece of code?

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

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

your code output is :

#example
'HelloWorld'

output must be:

'Hello World'
#a space
print(words+" World")

Answer to your first question... "How/why the variable 'words' is identified as a single word in list?"

That's because, we are using 'in' operator. The 'in' operator is a membership operator which assigns each element in the list (in this case, its 'hellos') to the variable "words".

Answer to your second question..."Your code looks fine".. It is running properly in my workspace..

Thank you for your explanation of the 'in' operator! The problem with the code was just the spacing and how the code challenge page gives error codes or format.
