You could check the tweet text against your matching terms. Something like:

>>> a = "hello this is a tweet"
>>> terms = [ "this "]
>>> matches = []

...             matches.append( i )
...

>>> 

Which would give you all of the terms that that specific tweet, a, matched. Which in this case was just the "this" term.
