You can use split to break your sentence into individual words, then a simple list comprehension to replace desired values:

dct = {'gr8': 'great', 'awsm': 'awesome'}
s = "we are gr8 and awsm"

def acronym(s, dct):
  return ' '.join([dct.get(i, i) for i in s.split()])

print(acronym(s, dct))

Output:

we are great and awesome
