        does “Verb[ て ]” 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

      • mrnoone

        mrnoone

        Hey

        Yes, it is contraction from ていて.

        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
