Can't create a folder/subfolder with mkdir from home

I would like to create a folder called hello and a sub folder located inside hello called world. I've tried mkdir $HOME/hello/world but it does not work saying that it cannot create directory since no such file or directory exists. If I try $HOME/hello I am able to create a folder called hello inside $HOME. How do I go about doing this? I do not want to use -p to create the needed parent folders if they are missing.

I'm not sure why you don't want to use the -p flag to mkdir, but if you insist, you could do this:

mkdir $HOME/hello $HOME/hello/world
