These loops are giving me some trouble

I can't figure out how to execute this loop

loop.py 
hellos = [
    "Hello",
    "Tungjatjeta",
    "Grüßgott",
    "Вiтаю",
    "dobrý den",
    "hyvää päivää",
    "你好",
    "早上好"
]
for word in hellos:
    if word == hellos
    print(word + world)

Kade Carlson you're close, there is no need for the if statement and make sure world is a string by adding quotes around it. Also be sure to include the space in your string.

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

I don't think you are understanding the difference between a variable and a string. You should go back and master that before you continue. Also an if conditional statement is not required. You aren't testing the value for some parameter, you are simply getting a word from the list and printing it with the word world added to the statement.

hellos = [
    "Hello",
    "Tungjatjeta",
    "Grüßgott",
    "Вiтаю",
    "dobrý den",
    "hyvää päivää",
    "你好",
    "早上好"
]
for word in hellos:
     print(word + ' world!')
