Questions & Answers about Kan du skaffe billetter i morgen?

What exactly does the verb skaffe mean here? Is it the same as kjøpe?

Skaffe means “to obtain/get hold of,” not necessarily “to buy.” It focuses on the result (ending up with the tickets), not the method. If you specifically mean “buy,” you can say kjøpe billetter. Other natural options:

• få tak i billetter (get hold of tickets; very common)
• ordne billetter (arrange/fix tickets)

Why is there no å before skaffe?

Because kan is a modal verb, and modals in Norwegian take a bare infinitive (no å). So it’s kan skaffe, not kan å skaffe.

Why does the sentence start with Kan? Is that the normal word order for a question?

Yes. In yes/no questions, Norwegian usually puts the finite verb first. Here, the modal kan comes first: Kan du skaffe …? This is the standard way to ask “Can you…?”

Where should i morgen go in the sentence? Can it go at the front?

The most neutral spot is at the end: Kan du skaffe billetter i morgen?
You can front it for emphasis or context: I morgen, kan du skaffe billetter? That’s acceptable in speech/writing for focus, but the default in everyday speech is to keep the verb first in yes/no questions and put time at the end.
