Python Python Basics (2015) Logic in Python Loop

I'm not sure how to make this for loop work. I've tried several ways shown in the video but can't find the right one.

I have tried several different for loops and cannot figure out exactly what I'm doing wrong. I get syntax errors and I get errors saying that it can't find all the "Hellos"

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

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

Hi,

with your for loop the output would look like this:

HelloWorld
TungjatjetaWorld
GrüßgottWorld
ВiтаюWorld
dobrý denWorld
hyvää päivääWorld
你好World
早上好World

You need to add a space before the word "Hello":

for word in hellos:
    print(word + " World") # add a space before the word "World"

so the output would be:

Hello World
Tungjatjeta World
Grüßgott World
Вiтаю World
dobrý den World
hyvää päivää World
你好 World
早上好 World

Patricia, just a note, in case you aren't aware of this. To see what Gianmarco said you output would look like, you click the Preview button after you get a Bummer. it will show compile errors, if there are any. If there aren't, it will often (but not always) show output. In this case you code compiles and runs. So it shows output.
