Stuck on second challenge of strings and formats task

This description is really confusing, can anyone help? OK, now use .format() on the string "Treehouse loves {}" to put your name into the placeholder. Assign this to the variable subject (so start with subject =).

strings.py 
name = "irakli" 
subject = "Treehouse loves {}"
print("Treehouse loves {}".format(name))
