Describe your issue in detail here.
I spent five hours trying to figure out what the problem is, pls, someone should look into my code and tell me what is wrong
Your code so far

function translatePigLatin(str) {
  let vowel = /[aeiou]gi/;
  let pigLatin = "";
  if (str[0].match(vowel)) {
    pigLatin = str + "way";
  } else if 
    (str.match(vowel) === null) {
pigLatin = str + "ay"
    } else {
      let firstVowel = str.indexOf(str.match(vowel)[0]);
      pigLatin = str.substr(firstVowel) + str.substr(0, firstVowel) + "ay"
    }
  return pigLatin
}

console.log(translatePigLatin("consonant"));

Yes, I think I gave you a big hint with the question I asked you :slightly_smiling_face:

/[aeiou]gi/;

What are you using gi for? Are you sure it is in the correct place?
