- "Han får ett svar."

the word "answer" sounds derived from "svar" which makes it super easy to remember
I answered "He gets an answer". Is there actually some meaning behind this or is it just for its own sake?
Could this also be like getting an answer to a math question? Like, "I am getting the answer to this problem"?
No like, you solve the problem in order to GET the answer. Kinda like that.
Yes, then you can use it. Like, the answer is supposed to be 3 but I get 4, I'd say Jag får 4 hela tiden = 'I keep getting 4'.
Sure, you can say "svar", but if it is a complicated problem you will probably say "lösning" (solution) and then it includes the steps you go through to reach the final answer.
It’s a very formal way but grammatically correct. It’s plural though so it means ”answers obtianed”.

What is the difference between får in the sentence "Han får ett svar" and får in the sentence "Får jag fråga dig en sak"? google tells me that "få" means recieve (and shows no results similar to may) and "får" means may, yet "får" looks like the present form of infinitive "att få".
What am I missing?

Agree that Google Translate is inconsistent. Få may mean both “get” and “be allowed to”.

Of course i agree, yet sometimes it helps you find synonims to some words, so it'd be unwise to ignore GT completely =)

I'm not sure if I'm missing a reference but here's a link to some Swedish tongue twisters, of which number 14 is the one I was partly quoting!
I replied "he gets a reply". Why would this be incorrect? til exempel, man kan "svara" till ett brev. Is there a subtlety here I am not quite getting?
Ir sounds like the name of a children's book to me for some reason. "The pigeon gets an answer."
Can this question also mean he understands a question?, he gets/understands an answer
