It means get, receive, may, must, take, have (got) to to mention a few. Look at sentences like Kan jag få en tidning? (Can I get/have a newspaper?), or Jag får ringa senare. (I’ve got to call later.), or Får jag gå nu? (May I leave now?) Mat får han hemma hos sin fru. He gets food from his wife at home.

Wait a minute.. get? or take? ..or must? like food must be taken with his wife? ;-)

I am indeed fåscinated by this verb.
