"Fått" means "received" or "got" in English.

In a sentence

Jag har fått ett brev idag.
I have received a letter today.
In this sentence, 'fått' is the past participle of the verb 'få' (to receive), and it is used with the auxiliary verb 'har' to form a present perfect tense indicating a completed action.
Hon hade fått veta sanningen.
She had been told the truth.
Here, 'fått' in combination with 'hade' (had) forms a past perfect tense, meaning an action that was completed before another past action.
Vi ska få det löst snart.
We will get it resolved soon.
In this example, 'få' is in the infinitive form and indicates that in the future, 'we will be allowed to' or 'manage to' have something resolved, showing permission or ability following the helper word 'ska' (shall/will).
