The assertion is true. Every single finite string over is denoted by the regular expression . The empty string is denoted by . Hence if is a finite formal language, the regular expression
denotes precisely , with each read as its concatenation of symbols. This uses the defining union and concatenation operations for regular expressions. For , use the regular expression . Therefore
