What's wrong with this code?

Don't know what I did wrong here.

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

Hey, Sam! your code works but the code challenge wanted you to place a space between the word and the word hello. Try one of these codes. both works for this code challenge.

for word in hellos:
    print("{} World".format(word))

OR like the one you used but with the space that's needed.

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

Let me know how those work for you.

I agree with Michael but you need to be aware that in the first case you just format the word and in the second example you could get problems with the sum of one variable with the string type of "World". It may be not a problem in this case but is nice to be aware of operations with different type of variables ;)
