+## ![:beginner:](https://forum.freecodecamp.com/images/emoji/emoji_one/beginner.png?v=3 ":beginner:") Basic Code Solution:
+
+    function translatePigLatin(str) {
+      let consonantRegex = /^[^aeiou]+/;
+      let myConsonants = str.match(consonantRegex);
+      return (myConsonants !== null) ? str.replace(consonantRegex, "").concat(myConsonants).concat("ay") : str.concat("way");
+    }
+
+    translatePigLatin("consonant");
+
+
+### Code Explanation:
+*   start at beginning and get longest match of everything not a vowel (consonants)
+*   if regex pattern found, it saves the match; else, it returns null
+
+*   if regex pattern found (starts with consonants), it deletes match, adds the match to the end, and adds "ay" to the end
+*   if regex pattern not found (starts with vowels), it just adds "way" to the ending
