もらっちゃっていい? what is the meaning of this expression?
It means: Can I have it?

Possible nuances:

answer
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).

Despite the "look" of the phrase, it is generally NOT a way to ask permission
if said by a native speaker. It is a rhetorical question where the speaker is
already giving herself (Isn't the speaker a woman?) permission as she utters
the line.

"Can I take it (or even "him") home?"
