Add skiing and a lot of mountains and snow. Don't buy the troll dolls in the item shops in Norway. That's just tourist selling crap that no one in norway actually have
lol, yup, I was literally just reading up on Norse mythology today and trolls were a major part. I didn't know trolls were of Nordic origin until today. But that explains why in the game Dark Age of Camelot, which is divided into three realms including the Nordic Midgard, the Midgard realm is the one with trolls.
+Mark Richardson You may even be able to try it right at home! I come from the US but live in Germany now and there was brunost back home and also right here in Germany at the local grocery store. :) Always from Norway, always delicious!
I started learning Norwegian a while ago via Duolingo as well as some other sources, and honestly it's the most fun and interesting language I've ever seen en. Their mother tongue is so beautifully spoken, and I am probably obsessed with the culture at this point hahaha. Lots of love to those from Norway and anywhere else in the world!
Me too! I got into Norwegian after watching some strange foreign films (I can't quite recall them) and listening to artists and being like "wow I love them" and they end up being from Norway. Do you still study Norsk?
And it get's even more interesting when you get to know other aspects of norwegian culture, one-night stands for example: if you try smalltalk with someone on the t-bane they'll literally think you're crazy but that same day at night you may see them going to bed with a total stranger.
Dutch Lion Not in my country, if you get wasted then obviously you increase your chances of ending up in bed with strangers no matter which country you are, but here in Norway that's particularly frequent and so is that when sober, the average Norwegian is extremely shy and socially sensitive towards strangers. I find both things very contradictory, that's my point.
I have been in Norway just this week. I must say you guys are some of the nicest and most welcoming people I have ever seen. Everyone was super helpful and kind. Oslo is an amazingly beautiful city. Everything is super clean. Great gardens... I have fallen in love with Oslo and cant wait to return.
@@Ryosuke1208 yes! Do visit the open air museum (they have houses from different eras and there are actors around that will tell you how people used to live. We had a wonderful conversation with a gentleman in the biggest house and learned a lot from a lady in one of the smaller "huts"). I also quite enjoyed the kontiki museum! Super interesting! On the top of my head these 2 are the ones that stood out more, but if you like I can check which ones I visited to let you know if we liked them or not.
Herr Bönk im pretty shy so im not saying anything that most people find offensive. I mostly keep my mouth shut. But that dont stop them white fisherboys to talk offensive to me
I was an exchange student in 1989 and am going back to see my host family this year. I’m learning the language to thank them properly. The Norwegians were wonderful to me. Kind and helpful! Not at all closed off in my experience!:)
Norwegian is one of the prettiest languages ever, and all other Germanic languages are also magical and gorgeous! I highly recommend learning Norwegian 2gether with Icelandic and Norse and Dutch, as they are the prettiest languages ever, as pretty / refined / poetic as English, so they are too pretty not to know! I am advanced level in Norwegian and upper intermediate level in Icelandic / Norse / German and upper advanced level in Dutch, and am learning many other pretty languages as well!
There should be Easy Norwegian / Easy Icelandic / Easy Danish / Easy Faroese / Easy Swedish yts and also Easy Norse and Easy Gothic yts, as these videos are real helpful for upper intermediate and advanced learners - hopefully some groups of volunteers start making them soon, as these languages are so gorgeous, they should be known and learnt by all, and I cannot recommend them enough, they are real fun to learn and speak and hear and see! 🇫🇴 🇳🇴 🇮🇸 🇩🇰 🇸🇪
Well in my opinion is one of the most beautiful language ever, I'm teaching norwegian my self på Internett and I hope to become fluent by December... Hilsen fra Colombia.....
I've been living in Norway for a whole year and as an Italian girl, I must say that I find norwegian people really welcoming (or at least they were with me) ♥ Jeg savner Norge så mye, fantastiske folken opp der! ♥
What i would answer to this: -Brown cheese -Bunad (National clothing on 17th of May) -Unstable weather -Snow -Skiing -Mountain Hiking -Kvikklunsj (The best chocolate in the world lmao) -Porridge? -Avoid social interactions/sit or stand far away from people *I live in Norway, so i know this from experience*
Schwvartz King Yah it's not a difficult language but when people speak fast and especially in a dialect far from bokmål, it can be difficult to understand spoken Norwegian by some.
Sean O'Sullivan i understand what you are going through. We need to train our ears to recognize every syllable. We do this by watching movies and videos, but it seems many of them jump from one dialect to the next. One movie is a different dialect from another. Even the people in this video were doing it. Hard to find straight bokmål.
Yes, I guess we just have to accept the fact that bokmål is simply a written language that resembles the spoken language of middle/upper-class Oslo and even they have some differences in the way they speak. Films and TV series are great. Also music which is sung in their dialect can also be useful. If you are not keen on earning Nynorsk but would like to familiarize yourself with it to an extent, I would recommend the poetry of Olaf Hauge. My girlfriend bought me his book with cross the page translation but i would challenge myself to translate without any help. And it helped me see that Nynorsk is not a million miles from Bokmål and I have become more accustom to dialects in the Nynorsk regions as a result of reading his amazing poetry.

I had a Norwegian cat once. A skog kat, I think it’s called in Norwegian. Here, we call it a Norwegian deep forest cat. I’m not a cat person but that was the greatest cat I have ever had in my life.

+Vasile Buruian Some norwegians can be impolite, just in general and i think it sucks that non-norwegians get to meet these people before the nice ones. you know if you have 1 bad experience the rest isn't getting any better.
MainstreamPoPsucks3 that's why they are NOT the same. different words and different pronunciation, isn't it enough? Swedish also has different letters.well there are more common between danish and norwegian, as danish is a paternal language of norwegian. for me it's hard to mix them all up
I must say that they couldn't be more wrong about their reputation. Norwegians are NOT smug or unfriendly. They are an incredibly approachable, helpful and warm people. I spent six months there traveling around and it's my favorite country to visit. I made friends very easily and they were eager to show me around and teach me about their history, food and culture. It's a beautiful place and I can't wait to go back.
Norwegians and Germans alike both seem to have a complex where they think they’re insufferable and mean, even though in reality, they’re actually super chill and calm for the most part (maybe excluding the big cities in Germany).

Norway has beautiful nature and reserved people so it may not be the best place to live for some people. If you think you can't fit in the culture, please don't immigrate to Norway. Instead be a tourist and enjoy the scenery.

+Klaod Nell Hehehe Yes we are, but its jut because we like to keep are own business to ourselves. If you become friends with a Norwegian then you while get a totally other perspective of us, I promise :D
I love duolingo but it asks me to translate the stupidest sentences "Mauren liker edderkoppen" "Edderkoppen spiser Mauren" (Poor ant got betrayed) Also "Fuglene spiser ris" I'm quite certain that when birds eat rice they explode but ok Duolingo whatever you're into I guess...
Are there other episodes planned to come out any time in the future? I love your channel and it is a great idea to listen to people on the streets when you learn a language. But for some reason Norwegian has only 1 episode =( Please, make some more!
But throughout the videos... Actually I was quite amazed by how handsome the guys can be in Norway.. Like the guy in the car 0:44 the guy with the girl in a cafe I guess 1:51 another guy with girl in the cafe ( Personally I think the best one) 2:19 Hot father I guess? 2:48 etc...
hi easy languages! I really love your videos! And I was so happy to see that you have an Easy Norwegian Video - but than i noticed that it's from 2014 and there's no Easy Norwegian 2 - oh no ... is there any chance for more norsk videos? - best greets from a fan!
Norwegians are very nice and helpful people in my experience, actually I think they are on another level. I was amazed by them several times during my stay in Norway.
To me a English speaker, German, Norwegian, Dutch, Danish and Swedish all sound the same to me very different from English to me especially since English is 60% Latin and French.
If you want people to learn you can't show English subtitles at the same time as the speech. You need the video 3 times. 1 is just speech. 2 is speech + NORWEGIAN subtitles. 3 has both sets of subtitles.
I've heard people say Norwegian sounds like German to them. As a German speaker, it sounds very different to me. Norwegian speech melody bounces up and down a lot, that's pretty weird to me ;)
Ok, so the girl at 1:22 with the brown jacket and hair in a bun: I thought her accent was cool. Anyone know what region of Norway she may be from based on her accent? Or is she speaking a certain dialect of Norwegian?
Znamer What Smoshboy12345678910 said is totally wrong. Bokmål is thus a set of guidelines that governments in Norway have adopted for how Norwegian language should be WRITTEN.. Bokmål has been rewritten many times, and words have been replaced, but it is the language we write, not what we speak.. She speaks norwegian with an OSLO ACCENT. There are different accents all over Norway.
Oppne smash Thanks for the info. I had heard Bokmål is just a written form. But I have also heard some consider the Oslo accent's pronunciation would be the closest to Bokmål if Bokmål was actually spoken. I think that's what Smoshboy meant. He was likely dumbing it down for me since I am new to Norwegian dialects/accents :)
Znamer Bokmål is basically written form derived from Danish but can be spoken in many different accents. She is speaking with an Oslo accent- some say the standard Norsk accent- but accents can change dramatically from city to city. If you were to go from Oslo to Kristiansand, the change is quite noticeable.
If those guys you saw in this video super handsome for you outlandish people so come here, those guys were just common guys. The ordinary man in Norway is much more prettier

Yes it'real
Aprinsa most norwegians don’t know shit about norse mythology, so it’s pointless to make it a topic for conversation with norwegian people
This language sounds like when you make an audio recording in English and then play the recording backwards and it sounds all funky.
HAHAHA It does!
Really? I didn't know that was the way we sound to others x3
Oof that’s actually really accurate XD
really? it sounds pretty nice to me. It feels like they are singing or reading a poem, telling a fantastical story.

Northern mythology: Midgard, Asgard, Thor, Tyr, Odin, Freya, Heimdall, the Valkyries, the elfs, Yggdrasil, the Trolls, the Wargus, the Runes, the Vikings, the Valhalla, Bifrost, Ragnarök, Jormungänder, Fenrir, etc...The fjords, the Aurora Borealis, the Nordkapp, the midnight sun, the dark winter, the most majestic forests and landscapes in earth, glaciers, the salmon, the Smalahove, the Villsau sheep, Edvard Grieg's suite Nº1 op. 46, Ibsen's "Peer Gynt", wooden (and burnt) churches, Black Metal... From Spain I answer better than most norwegians???
Thats so us, we take all that for granted and blatantly reply "brown cheese" like a bunch of tossers xD
BROWN CHEES
Stfu
Lol who cares about all that stuff
Psynergi I love your hair

But it’s hard to Get a boyfriend or girlfriend so it’s not that a paradise
and TALL!!!+
yeah.
The subtitles at 2:12 and 3:52 say "Vet ikke jeg", but I hear that the actual words are different. Is it a Bokmål vs. Nynorsk situation?
bokmål and nynorsk are written norwegian not spoken norwegian. That being said both spoke the same but very quickly
Norway has beautiful nature and reserved people so it may not be the best place to live for some people. If you think you can't fit in the culture, please don't immigrate to Norway. Instead be a tourist and enjoy the scenery.
Please make more norwegian videos ! We love it :)
I am learning to speak Norwegian but no where in my lessons have we discussed brunost. Glad I watched this.
They all look gorgeous! ♥️♥️♥️

You summarised us Norwegians in one comment
You forgot hæ?!
yes. Just yes
That last one’s accurate
One more reason to move to Scandinavia. Amazing Norway
3:23 As somebody from the outside, I have not heard about the cheese but the lady is right about “fjord, sea, sailors” - wherever you go in Europe, you find Norwegian salmon in shops and that kind of maps the rest in mind
Norwegians seem a little more reserved and shy
+Klaod Nell Hehehe Yes we are, but its jut because we like to keep are own business to ourselves. If you become friends with a Norwegian then you while get a totally other perspective of us, I promise :D
+Dark Pheonix *will
If I weren't the most antisocial thing in the universe, the first thing I'd try to do is befriending Norwegians :)
More episodes, please!!!.
They are some really good looking and intelligent people.
Damn! I've forgotten how beautiful that language is. Need to get back to studying it, I think.
I LOVE DUOLINGO!! I learn Norwegian there :D
Are you still a life? Where you reached in duolingo
Do you know: hei jeg heter .... Hva heter du🇳🇴😊 om from Norway😊
I love duolingo but it asks me to translate the stupidest sentences
"Mauren liker edderkoppen"
"Edderkoppen spiser Mauren" (Poor ant got betrayed)
Also
"Fuglene spiser ris" I'm quite certain that when birds eat rice they explode but ok Duolingo whatever you're into I guess...
@@BoldOne8760 I just started the Norwegian course on Duolingo a couple of days ago and already encountered a sentence about being eaten by the wolf XD
Shillin Hite I’m also learning Norwegian on Duolingo and I got that same sentence too 😅
Swedes when asked what's typically Swedish: Lagom, Jantelagen (concepts)
Norwegians when asked what's typically Norwegian: Cheese, definitely cheese
Are there other episodes planned to come out any time in the future? I love your channel and it is a great idea to listen to people on the streets when you learn a language. But for some reason Norwegian has only 1 episode =( Please, make some more!
Wish this series had continued!
I want to try brunost so badly. It looks so delicious!
L
I think I just fell in love.... I'm dying to learn this language now so that I can go and visit this gorgeous country!!
I've been watching this video for 2 years, hoping there will be more =_=
what about some more videos??? :D it's amzing!
But throughout the videos... Actually I was quite amazed by how handsome the guys can be in Norway.. Like the guy in the car 0:44 the guy with the girl in a cafe I guess 1:51 another guy with girl in the cafe ( Personally I think the best one) 2:19 Hot father I guess? 2:48 etc...
And 6:66 me of course 😉
As a Norwegian they aren’t really anything out of the ordinary
And also girls are beautiful. Now i understand why don't they mix so much with foreginers
Hey guys, 2018 is almost here and still no episode 2. You did a good job there, resurrect it please. Tusen takk.
EYYYYY MY BOY ODDVARD TORSHEIM, lol i just saw him yesterday 0:40
Only one episode! More Easy Norwegian videos please!!
hi easy languages! I really love your videos! And I was so happy to see that you have an Easy Norwegian Video - but than i noticed that it's from 2014 and there's no Easy Norwegian 2 - oh no ... is there any chance for more norsk videos? - best greets from a fan!
Such a shame you guys stopped doing it. Is there even a small chance you'll be back at some point?
So beautiful language
QINGFAN ZOU thanks, hahah
Fan Zou I'm 9% Norway 😊
Norwegians are very nice and helpful people in my experience, actually I think they are on another level. I was amazed by them several times during my stay in Norway.
Hearing Norwegian being spoken so fluently, I'm really liking the sound of Norsk.
I don’t understand. The question doesn’t really make sense. What do you mean what is typical Norwegian? And how do there responses make any sense?
Im from Minnesota. Land of Norwegian Americans. It’s crazy how much we talk like Norwegians in English.
Truth. There is a lot of handed-down Norwegian culture in everyday Minnesota: "uffda", "melk", duck duck grey duck, etc
At 0:34 is artist Oddvar Torsheim from Førde. He is very Norwegian
Hello....one minute please see.thanks.

A greeting.👍🇺🇲✔️
The only thing I know from that country is Black Metal.
good enough!
Quite a good start!
Same thought.
Yep, Dimmu Borgir, Djerv, Behemoth
My native language is german and its so fascinating to see these scandinavian languages... so many similarities
To me a English speaker, German, Norwegian, Dutch, Danish and Swedish all sound the same to me very different from English to me especially since English is 60% Latin and French.
This vid is almost 4 years old... where is part 2? T_T
The vid is EIGHT years old now 🤣
Imma become fluent before they release part 2
If you want people to learn you can't show English subtitles at the same time as the speech. You need the video 3 times. 1 is just speech. 2 is speech + NORWEGIAN subtitles. 3 has both sets of subtitles.
I've heard people say Norwegian sounds like German to them. As a German speaker, it sounds very different to me. Norwegian speech melody bounces up and down a lot, that's pretty weird to me ;)
Ok, so the girl at 1:22 with the brown jacket and hair in a bun: I thought her accent was cool. Anyone know what region of Norway she may be from based on her accent? Or is she speaking a certain dialect of Norwegian?
***** Awesome! Tusen takk!
Znamer What Smoshboy12345678910 said is totally wrong. Bokmål is thus a set of guidelines that governments in Norway have adopted for how Norwegian language should be WRITTEN.. Bokmål has been rewritten many times, and words have been replaced, but it is the language we write, not what we speak.. She speaks norwegian with an OSLO ACCENT. There are different accents all over Norway.
Oppne smash Thanks for the info. I had heard Bokmål is just a written form. But I have also heard some consider the Oslo accent's pronunciation would be the closest to Bokmål if Bokmål was actually spoken. I think that's what Smoshboy meant. He was likely dumbing it down for me since I am new to Norwegian dialects/accents :)
Znamer Bokmål is basically written form derived from Danish but can be spoken in many different accents. She is speaking with an Oslo accent- some say the standard Norsk accent- but accents can change dramatically from city to city. If you were to go from Oslo to Kristiansand, the change is quite noticeable.
***** At least from Greater Oslo, including counties of Akershus, Southern Buskerud, Vestfold. More or less.
is all man in norway this handsome? .... i m not going there ever....my self esteem is low enough....
no not all lol
most men here are plain joes, is this what you call handsome, goodness!
I'm going there so I can be famous as the only ugly man in Norway!
@@richardblackhound1246 if you're single I'm sure latinas women will find you like a god
If those guys you saw in this video super handsome for you outlandish people so come here, those guys were just common guys. The ordinary man in Norway is much more prettier
I love the last lady in the little shop, such a sweet person. :)
there's a rhythm when ppl are speaking the language. beautiful!
Have you heard northern Norwegian?
I go to Norway so much and brunost is so nice. Big fan of jt
I can listen to Norwegian for the whole eternity!
Have you heard northern Norwegian?
Please make this a separate series like some of the other languages.
