Finding strings within a list while using another list as reference python

Question

Let's say I have:

name_list = ["gxrgirl", "Octagon", "Nimble Momonga"]
feminine_words = ["girl", "princess", "wifey", "woman", "queen"]

I want to be able to detect feminine words within the name_list by using the feminine_words list.

So for example:

I would be able to detect the "girl" string within gxrgirl and have some output saying: female

I read somewhere that I can use from builtins import any , but I'm not sure how to approach it.

Anything in `builtins` doesn't require an import. You can just use `any` with no imports at all. `from builtins import any` is pointless. — ShadowRanger, Sep 05 '18 at 03:53
`any(f in w for f in feminine_words for w in name_list)` ? probably a duplicate — Jean-François Fabre, Sep 05 '18 at 03:54

You can use the function any() without any import statement.

It can be solved by one line:

['female' if any(word in name for word in feminine_words) else '' for name in name_list]
# It gives the following result: ['female', '', '']
