Tell us what’s happening:
who can explain this regrex for me, please: /^[^aeiou]+/

Your code so far


function translatePigLatin(str) {
let consonantRegex = /^[^aeiou]+/;
let myConsonants = str.match(consonantRegex);
console.log(str.match(consonantRegex))
console.log(str.replace(consonantRegex, "").concat(myConsonants))
return myConsonants !== null
  ? str
    .replace(consonantRegex, "")
    .concat(myConsonants)
    .concat("ay")
  : str.concat("way");

}

translatePigLatin("california");
