Could you describe them problem better, with sample inputs and expected

Some people in the room told I am kidding, but I learnt Python from
Python docs which gives examples like these,
But I write explicit comments,
an excerpt from python docs:
# Measure some strings:
.... a = ['cat', 'window', 'defenestrate']

>>for x in a:

.... print x, len(x)
....
cat 3
window 6
defenestrate 12
But well, if you are suggesting improvement I'll surely listen.

The outputs are given in Hindi, it is a dictionary look up program,
the matching words are in Hindi, you may leave aside them.
How to debug the result string is to see the words which are in
English as the group page does not take italics so I am putting one
asterisk* after it
NO PROBLEM:
INPUT:
he has come
OUTPUT IS
उओह/ उन�होने रहेसाक�ता २.यात�राकरना
PROBLEM:
INPUT:
(i) Lincoln* has come
OUTPUT IS:
रहेसाक�ता २.यात�राकरना lincoln*
lincoln lincoln* रहेसाक�ता २.यात�राकरना lincoln
lincoln lincoln* lincoln* रहेसाक�ता २.यात�राकरना lincoln
….and increasing the number and seems a never ending process.
MY EXPEPECTED STRING IS:
lincoln रहेसाक�ता २.यात�राकरना lincoln^
The latter places marked^ I am editing don't worry for that,
though MY FINAL EXPECTED STRING IS:
lincoln रहेसाक�ता २.यात�राकरना

Please! Just because a tiny 3 lines example involing just *one* list

discard my last post - I accidentially pressed submit to early.

Numbering variable names surely is *not* found in any python example.
Short names, as the examples are clear & don't require more meaningful
names occur, yes. But nowhere you will find 2-figure enumerations.

Each book or tutorial about programming will teach you to use meaningful
variables for your program.

As far as your explanation goes: there is *nothing* to be understood
from a bunch of questionmarks + sometimes "lincoln" spread in between is
not really helping.

This is most probably not your fault, as somehow the hindi get's twisted
to the questionmarks - however, I suggest you provide an example where
the hindi is replaced with english words (translations, or placeholders)
- otherwise, you won't be understood, and can't be helped.
