does “Verb[ ]” mean て-form ? If so, I think there is a problem with the sentence
アイディアがいいから、人気が出てて当然だ。
Is there one too many て or is it a contraction of 出ていて ? I’m asking since there is no other example sentence that uses ていて当然だ, including on japanesetest4you

Hey :cowboy_hat_face:

Yes, it is contraction from ていて. :+1:

I have added non contracted forms as alternative answers.

Cheers!


Edit:
I changed it to あって当然 because it sounds more natural in this case :cowboy_hat_face:
