I have a little problem with my code and I try to fix it but I need help. I get 2 error messages.

I think I messed up from the "if" statement down.

suggestinator.py 
def suggest(product_idea):
    return product_idea + "inator"
        if len(product_idea) < 3 :
            raise ValueError

The problem is that you have placed the return statement before the if statement so the if statement will never run. This should work:

def suggest(product_idea):
    if len(product_idea) < 3 :
            raise ValueError
    return product_idea + "inator"
