This doesn't make much sence because you substituted a varible for
a character literal, so I'll go with the original.



l + 'o' + l if l in consonants else l for l in s

Evaluate this expression:

l + 'o' + l if l in consonants else l

for each l in s (so for each letter that in s).



l + 'o' + l if l in consonants else l

if l is part of the consonants produce l + 'o' + l
otherwise just produce l.


Hope this helps.
