Easy


You are given a string sentence that consist of words separated by spaces. Each word consists of lowercase and uppercase letters only.

We would like to convert the sentence to "Goat Latin" (a made-up language similar to Pig Latin.) The rules of Goat Latin are as follows:

  • If a word begins with a vowel ('a', 'e', 'i', 'o', or 'u'), append "ma" to the end of the word.
    <ul>
    	<li>For example, the word <code>"apple"</code> becomes <code>"applema"</code>.</li>
    </ul>
    </li>
    <li>If a word begins with a consonant (i.e., not a vowel), remove the first letter and append it to the end, then add <code>"ma"</code>.
    <ul>
    	<li>For example, the word <code>"goat"</code> becomes <code>"oatgma"</code>.</li>
    </ul>
    </li>
    <li>Add one letter <code>'a'</code> to the end of each word per its word index in the sentence, starting with <code>1</code>.
    <ul>
    	<li>For example, the first word gets <code>"a"</code> added to the end, the second word gets <code>"aa"</code> added to the end, and so on.</li>
    </ul>
    </li>
    

Return the final sentence representing the conversion from sentence to Goat Latin.

 

Example 1:

Input: sentence = "I speak Goat Latin"
Output: "Imaa peaksmaaa oatGmaaaa atinLmaaaaa"

Example 2:

Input: sentence = "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog"
Output: "heTmaa uickqmaaa rownbmaaaa oxfmaaaaa umpedjmaaaaaa overmaaaaaaa hetmaaaaaaaa azylmaaaaaaaaa ogdmaaaaaaaaaa"

 

Constraints:

  • 1 <= sentence.length <= 150
  • sentence consists of English letters and spaces.
  • sentence has no leading or trailing spaces.
  • All the words in sentence are separated by a single space.
