+An associated item wasn't found in the given type.
+
+Erroneous code example:
+
+```compile_fail,E0576
+trait Hello {
+ type Who;
+
+ fn hello() -> <Self as Hello>::You; // error!
+}
+```
+
+In this example, we tried to use the non-existent associated type `You` of the
+`Hello` trait. To fix this error, use an existing associated type:
+
+```
+trait Hello {
+ type Who;
+
+ fn hello() -> <Self as Hello>::Who; // ok!
+}
+```
