Hi Alwen Nyikadzanzwa. You are on the right track and your code can pass the quiz just with a little adjustments First of all, you don't need this line

product_idea = input("Enter a product name")

The product_idea it's given as a parameter What you need to do is to move you raise block inside of the function, in your code, it's outside of the function

def suggest(product_idea):
    <here comes your raise block>   --> also make sure there is no extra `tab` or any extra space when I checked your code I ran into some extra `tabs`

    return product_idea + "inator"

I hope this will help you out. Happy codding.
