let's say I have 4 lists each list contains 4 words

List 1: plane fight door chair

List 2: egg spoon car bike

List 3: fire dog truck stairs

List 4: leg water shoe air

How can I use python to generate n number of phrases out of those lists while using one word from each list at a time and keep them in order to have a result similar to this:

plane spoon fire air

plane egg truck leg

door spoon stairs water

I'm not a dev, I hope you understood the general idea, can you please help me

Use itertools.product to find the product of a set of iterables. Use str.join to convert each product back into a single string of space-separated words.

from itertools import product

word_lists = [words.split() for words in (
    "plane fight door chair",
    "egg spoon car bike",
    "fire dog truck stairs",
    "leg water shoe air",
)]
for p in product(*word_lists):
    print(" ".join(p))

If you don't care about words being chosen multiple times, you can do something simple like

from random import randint
# our lists
list1 = ['plane', 'fight', 'door', 'chair']
list2 = ['egg', 'spoon', 'car', 'bike']
list3 = ['fire', 'dog', 'truck', 'stairs']
list4 = ['leg', 'water', 'shoe', 'air']
# however many times you want to run the code
n = 5
# running this for loop 'n' times
for _ in range(n):
    # our four random indices
    i = randint(0, 3)
    j = randint(0, 3)
    k = randint(0, 3)
    l = randint(0, 3)
    # an aggregate based on our 4 lists
    list_builder = [list1[i], list2[j], list3[k], list4[l]]
    print(list_builder)
