how to make letters into words?

Question

I have a nested list:

encode= [['t','h','i','s'],['i','s'],['a','w','s','o','m','e']]

and I want to convert the nested list above into a string:

"this is awesome"

There even is a [tutorial](https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/python-convert-list-characters-string/) for this — LeoE, Sep 30 '19 at 15:16
No offense intended, but this should be quite easy to find out using google. Did you try? — lucidbrot, Sep 30 '19 at 15:17
I'm sorry, you can't get what you want from your code snippet. — quamrana, Sep 30 '19 at 15:19

the join in the list comprehension joins the letters into words, then the join outside the list joins the words into a sentence

' '.join([''.join(x) for x in encode])

Simply:

words = [''.join(word) for word in encode]
sentence = ' '.join(words)
