Learn Swedish: Vi planerar snöröjningen till vintern. - We are planning the snow clearance for the winter.

Using till followed by a definite season (like vintern) is a specific way to talk about the future, especially when preparing or planning for it. While i vinter just means "this winter," till vintern translates closer to "for the winter" or "in time for the winter."

Could we use för instead of till to mean "for the winter"?

No, Swedish rarely uses för to express this kind of temporal reference. When you are talking about preparing something for an upcoming season or holiday, the standard preposition is till combined with the definite form of the noun.

How is the compound word snöröjningen broken down?

It combines snö (snow) and röjning (clearance or clearing). The -en at the very end is the definite article, making it "the snow clearance."

Where does the word röjning come from?

It comes from the verb röja, which means to clear, remove, or tidy away. Adding the suffix -ning turns the verb into a noun describing the action itself, much like adding "-ing" or "-tion" in English.
