Hello every,

I'd like to know if it is correct for me to say: I pop up an idea or I come up with an idea.

I meant to say: I suddently got an idea. Smile Many thanks. Very Happy

Hi,

I think sudden idea can only be popped out not come out.

Please correct me if I am wrong.

Good morning Shi, I have an idea, that you already know the answer.

You could say, " An idea has just popped into my head.

Hope you are well.
