Te form of もっていく


Quick question regarding the -te form of the verb もっていく (to take). From my
understanding the verb is a combination between もって+ いく(to go) and as such
conjugates its -te form as もっていって is this correct?

The reason I'm asking is because I've seen it conjugated online a few times as
もっていいて which would indicate that the -te form would be conjugating as if it
were a regular -く ending verb, as opposed to conjugating as いく (to go) does
(いって）.

If someone could clarify it's conjugation I'd be super appreciative.

Thanks!

Matt

[Wiktionary](http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E6%8C%81%E3%81%A3%E3%81%A6%E8%A1%8C%E3%81%8F)?

It appears that some sites which automatically generate conjugation charts
treat "もっていく" as though it's a regular godan verb, but you're correct that
it's もって + いく, and that いく conjugates as it normally does.

It should be [もっていって](http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~jwb/cgi-
