Python Small Ubbi Project

Hello everyone I've been practicing with python for a bit now and found a project named Ubbi. Pretty much the whole goal is, is to add a string 'ub' before every vowel. So my question am i even close to cracking this or should i head another route??

def ubbidubbi_word(eword):
    ubword = ""
    for i in eword:
        if i == 'aeoiuy': ubword += 'ub'+eword(i)
        else: ubword += eword(i)
    return ubword

You're close! However...:

(A) eword(i) would call eword as a function with argument i, which makes no sense; just use i itself, the character you're currently looking at (maybe you're thinking of Javascript here...? but even there the syntax will be different);

(B) i, a single character, will never equal the string 'aeoiuy', as you're checking; rather you should check if i is in that string (and thus a vowel).
