「Verb[て] + B」の情報
One of the common functions that the conjunction particle て has, is that it can contrast things that share some sort of relationship. This is similar to the contrastive use of は. In order to identify this nuance of て, we will need to think about whether the things being described are happening one after the other, or are simply describing '(A), and then (B)'. Let's look at some examples.
Due to this 'contrast' that is shown with て, sometimes it is translated as 'while (A), also (B)'. The primary difference between this nuance of て, and other 'while' or 'but' grammar points, is that (A) and (B) will always have equal weight/importance in a て sentence. Comparatively, structures like けど, のに, だが and similar points will usually imply that either (A) or (B) is more important in some way.

- Verb[ て ] + B
[Similar to adjectives, you can use Verb[て] without implying a sequence of time]
[Usually, the verb expresses a state/attribute, is in the potential form, or describes actions/events that have different topics/subjects][When parts of the sentence (clauses) that are connected with the て-form have different topics, it often implies that they are contrasted with one another. In those cases, when the contrast is strong, て can be also translated as “but” and can be rephrased to が/けど, etc. instead]
[The て-form is heavily dependent on context. The first sentence by itself can express the sequence “A then B,” but the second sentence can cancel the implied order of the first sentence and be understood as “B then A”]

No issue with the grammar point, but the hint for this example threw me off completely.
Pushindawood
@Lamster Hey! The Japanese sentence uses 弾ける, the potential form of 弾く, “to play.” The “can” in the sentence is referring to the subject’s ability to play the piano and is indicated by the verb hint at the end of the sentence ("[弾ける]").
It looks like you were trying to conjugate with the causative form (“made to play”), which would be 弾かせて and would not use the potential form and would not fit well within the context of the sentence.
Let me know if I am misunderstanding your comment. Cheers!
Lamster
Thanks, you’re right, I got is now! I was somehow under the impression that there are only plain forms of verbs in the hint parentheses, so I assumed that 引ける is the plain form of the verb.

チトゲさんは歌ってオノデラさんは踊っている。
Chitoge is singing and Onodera is dancing. (but・contrast)
Why does the note at the end of the translation say “but/contrast” if the translation says “and”?
Peter
I’m not an expert but I think it’s because it could be translated as either. They are doing two different things so in English we could use either word.
