Vi fixar biljetterna före matchen.

Because Swedish very often uses the present tense for the future when the situation is clear from context.

So Vi fixar biljetterna före matchen can naturally mean:

• We’ll sort out the tickets before the match
• We’re getting the tickets before the match

The form fixar is present tense, but Swedish does not need a separate future form as often as English does. If the time expression före matchen makes it clear that this is about what will happen, present tense sounds completely normal.

Not always. In Swedish, fixa is a very common everyday verb with a broad meaning. It can mean things like:

• fix
• arrange
• sort out
• take care of
• get hold of

In this sentence, fixar biljetterna most naturally means something like:

• arrange the tickets
• sort out the tickets
• get the tickets

So it does not necessarily mean repairing something.

Because biljetterna is the definite plural form, meaning the tickets.

Here is the pattern:

• en biljett = a ticket
• biljetter = tickets
• biljetterna = the tickets

Swedish usually puts the definite article at the end of the noun instead of using a separate word like English the.

So:

• Vi fixar biljetter = We’re getting tickets
• Vi fixar biljetterna = We’re getting the tickets

For the same reason as with biljetterna: Swedish often shows definiteness with an ending on the noun.

• en match = a match
• matchen = the match

So före matchen means before the match, even though there is no separate word like English the.

Both före and innan can relate to before, but före is especially common as a preposition before a noun phrase.

Here:

• före matchen = before the match

A useful general guide is:

• före + noun: very common
• innan + clause: very common

Examples:

• före matchen = before the match
• innan matchen börjar = before the match starts

In everyday Swedish, there can be overlap, but före matchen is a very natural choice.

The basic form is fixa, which is the infinitive.

So:

• att fixa = to fix / to arrange / to sort out
• fixar = fixes / is fixing / fixes up / arranges

This is a very common pattern for Swedish verbs in the present tense:

• infinitive ending in -a
• present tense ending in -ar

For example:

• tala → talar
• spela → spelar
• fixa → fixar

This is a normal, neutral Swedish word order:

• Vi = subject
• fixar = verb
• biljetterna = object
• före matchen = time expression

So the structure is basically: subject + verb + object + time

That is a very common default order in Swedish.

You can move parts around for emphasis, but then Swedish keeps its verb-second pattern:

• Före matchen fixar vi biljetterna.

That still means the same thing, but now före matchen is emphasized more.

Yes. You can say:

• Före matchen fixar vi biljetterna.

This is grammatical and natural. Swedish requires the finite verb to stay in the second position, so when Före matchen comes first, fixar must still come next.

Compare:

• Vi fixar biljetterna före matchen.
• Före matchen fixar vi biljetterna.

Both are correct. The second version puts more focus on before the match.

Because vi is the subject form, meaning we.

In Swedish:

• vi = we
• oss = us

So:

• Vi fixar biljetterna = We are arranging the tickets
• De hjälper oss = They help us

Since vi is doing the action in this sentence, it has to be the subject form.

It helps to break it down:

• biljett = ticket
• biljetter = tickets
• biljetterna = the tickets

So the noun gets:

1. a plural ending: -er
2. a definite plural ending: -na

This is a very common Swedish pattern for many en-words.

Not really. Fixa is common and natural, but it is fairly informal/everyday in tone.

In more formal Swedish, people might choose a more specific verb depending on what they mean, such as:

• ordna = arrange
• skaffa = obtain/get
• köpa = buy

But fixa is extremely common in speech and informal writing, and it sounds very natural here.

A rough guide for English speakers is something like FUR-eh, but the Swedish ö does not exist exactly in English.

A few notes:

• fö- has the Swedish ö sound
• the r is pronounced
• the final -e is a short vowel sound, not silent

So it is better to think:

• före = two syllables

If you can already pronounce Swedish ö, that is the key sound to get right here.

In theory, fixa can sometimes mean fix/repair, but in this sentence that is very unlikely.

Because the object is biljetterna and the phrase is före matchen, the natural interpretation is:

• arrange the tickets
• get the tickets sorted out

So context strongly points to sorting out ticket arrangements, not repairing tickets.
