Python Python Basics (2015) Logic in Python Loop

Question down below, any help please?

I need you to write a for loop that goes through each of the words in hellos and prints each word plus the word "World". So, for example, the first iteration would print "Hello World".

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

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

Your code is pretty close but there are two issues.

The first is that hellos is the name of the list itself, while hello is the name of the item that is pulled out of the list. Because of that you have to print out hello not hellos.

The second issue is that when you concatenate strings together they are glued to each other without any spacing added. So you would end up with words that run together like HelloWorld instead of Hello World. To fix that you simply need to manually insert a space in order to compensate.

Fixing both of those issues produces this loop:

for hello in hellos:
    print (hello + " World") # Changed "hellos" to "hello" and added space in front of "World"

Which will pass the challenge.
