Question: How does 生きていけない work? 生きて is the て form of the verb 生きる, but what is the いけない ending? It's not 〜てはいけない so what is it? A search online revealed it could be the potential form of the verb 行く, which is 行ける, meaning "to be able to go" or "to be able to do something." Is this correct? 🤔

「こんなに小さくちゃひとりじゃ生きていけないわよね。」 is the full context.

And from what I can tell, you are right that it could be the negative potential of 「～ていく」. A tentative translation would be "Being so small, you can't go on living by yourself".

For example, when your favorite anime ends, you might not be able to go on living, so you can say 生きていけないよ uwu so that might be another instance when you use this phrase.
