Hi - I can't seem to get past this question. I placed transition: .5s; under .nav-item but it keeps saying I'm wrong.

Is this not the shorthand? Please let me know what I am doing wrong.

style.css 
/* nav-item transitions ---------- */

.nav-item {
    flex-grow: 1;
  transition: .5s;
}

.nav-item:hover {
    flex-grow: 2;
}

/* nav icon transitions ---------- */

.icon {
  right: -25px;
}

.nav-item:hover .icon {
    right: 12%;
}

        </nav>

Hey Steffy Neptune,

You were very close. The only thing you are missing is a transition-property, it specifies the name of the CSS property the transition effect is for.

.nav-item {
    flex-grow: 1;
  transition: flex-grow .5s;
}

Hope this helps!
