もらっちゃっていい? what is the meaning of this expression?


The complete sentence is this

なにあれ私好みなんだけど、もらっちゃっていい？

Is it a way to ask permission?

Thank you.




It's a contraction of もらってしまってもいい(ですか). The しまう in there sort of indicates
that the speaker is asking for it despite knowing that they might not be the
intended recipient (though it doesn't necessarily imply the existence of any
specific intended recipient).
