. any tips? takk!!
One thing worth mentioning is that double first names are very common. I'm not talking about middle names, but two first names which are both spoken as if it were a single name. There are certain conventions as to which names can go first and last, and usually it's a one syllable name plus a two syllable name. So for example, Per Gunnar, Jan Tore, Ann Kristin, Kjell Ivar etc. A combination of two single syllable names is quite rare. "Arnt" is a male first name which is almost never encountered without a name combination, with the second name almost always beginning with a vowel. Arnt Egil, Arnt Ivar, Arnt Erik, Arnt Inge... Two double-syllable names are sometimes encountered, such as Ole Ivar, Johann Martin etc. But usually it's a 1+2 combo Sometimes people do use a given name as a middle name. I once knew a guy called Christian Fredrik, and he chose to use Fredrik as his first name and Christian as his middle name - except it came first. So he was C. Fredrik. Made it all a bit upper class (but then he did come from a wealthy family).
Additional note: "Eli" is known most parts of the world as a male name, but in Norway it's female.
"Inge" is a female name in Germany, but a male name in Norway.
"Janne" is male in Finland, but female in Norway.
I started to learn Norwegian because i am planning to move to Norway :)I've passed through all of your lessons and they are very helpful in learning :) Thank you very much and i really hope that soon you will make new lessons. Definitely my favourite channel to learning Norwegian. Tusen takk !
Same! :)
Im notwegian hei jeg er norsk!
I'm so concerned about getting lost in the beautiful phonetics/pronunciation and the teacher's beautiful voice.
Lol same 🤣
We actually pronounce the same names different all over the country 😅 It can get confusing for non-native speakers 😂 Especially with the old norse names like Ravn, Sigrid, Astrid, Snøfrid, Sigurd, and so on
@@Mari-eq8rx I Setesdal uttalar dei "Sigurd" som "sigeur" i staden for "siggur". Dei uttalar vokalane som var lange på norrønt som diftongar. "Snø", som er frå norrønt "snjór"(uttala "snjår"), er "snjór'e"(uttala "snjåore") på setesdalsk, så namnet "Snøfrid" er sikkert "Snjórfríd"(uttala "snjåorfræi") eller noko.
@@dan74695 Ja, Setesdalsk e noko for seg sjølv 😅 Men veldig fint då
@@Mari-eq8rx Samd.

When are you uploading a new video?
Thanks for the video!! I know the pronunciation of "d" in the "nd" combination in Norwegian sometimes depends on the dialect, so I was wondering if there are people who would pronounce names like "Linda" or "Anders" as "Linna" and "Anners?"
I don’t think so, with names I’d assume you always pronounce the d properly, at least in the two examples you provided
"Anners" is very common, especially in the east (Oslo-area). But for some reason, everyone pronounces the d in Linda.
takk skal du ha
Your vedios are really good and thank you for helping us, are you teaching bokmål or nynorsk.

I came looking for pronunciation for "Angerd."
Bjørn never fails

My Norwegian grandpa was named Mads. His name was Americanized to Matt when he came through Ellis Island. My American family aren’t sure how to pronounce Mads and our grandpa is no longer here. I think it is pronounced like Mus, rhymes with Bus. Can you help us with this, please?
Mads is a varient of the name Mats, both pronounced the same way, difficult to convey through text but it would be something like «mahtz». The mah part sounds similar to how the word «mommy» starts but with the o sounding slightly more like an a
My name is Freya and I’m currently pregnant with my 2nd possibly 3rd child (might be twins) and so far we have Runa but struggling to find a 2nd girl name
Never in my life heard the name Runa, only the male names Runar and Rune. Interesting, though, and sounds nice in English.
not anna else kristoffer and hans being in the list 💀
Perhaps you could explain Norwegian last names and how they came about. As I understand it, my great-grandfather's first name was Kristian so his children took the last name Kristiansen. I think this practice ended in the late 1800's. My grandfather, Anton Kristiansen, had children who should have taken the last name of Antonsen under the old system but, instead, kept the name Kristiansen. When my grandfather brought his family through Ellis Island in 1928 the name was Americanized to Christensen. The first names were also Americanized. My father, Kjell, became Charles. I would also like to know why the Norwegian names usually end in -sen while Swedish names end in -son.
Well it’s about inherting your fathers name as a last name. They still do it in Iceland except there the girls get -dottir (daughter) instead of -son
I got my last name after my great-great grandfather Fredrik who left my great-great-grandmother to go to the US before my great grandfather was born ;) he was called Ole Fredriksen (1870s), and that sirname was kept in the family. I'm not quite sure, but I think the practice of using your father's name for sirname (in addition to the farm name), was kept longer in rural areas. Ole got his children after moving into the city and maybe that's why the process stopped. When you move from your parents it doesn't make that much sense to bring on their name, I guess?
I don't know the background for the -sen and -son difference. Funnily enough, one of my other relatives called himself Samuelson when he moved to the US although he was named Samuelsen here (for all I know). I think the -son form is more common in the US, possibly because it's like English 😁
Joban forkortelse for Joakim
I like " karsten " 😅
Which of these names are native Norvegian and not international?
My name, Terje is very much Norwegian
Øyvind
Maybe one third of these are just Norwegian forms of European names. But Astrid is a typical Nordic name. Aksel also (male). Generally: Norse names like Arne, Bjørn, Bjørg, Terje, Njål, and combinations with Sol, Inge, Arn, Odd and Tor: Solveig, Ingeborg, Arnhild, Oddbjørn, Oddbjørg, Torbjørg and so on 😉 but they are not very much used for babies' names these days. - Ola (male) and Kari (female) used to be the archetypes of Norwegian first names, like "Ola og Kari Nordmann".
Jeg heter Santiago men kallenavnet mitt er San
is this sentence gramatically correct?
Yep 👌
@@SimpleNorwegian OMG! I just can't believe I did it right :') TAKK
Question! Long time follower, but I need help with a few names. I know you can’t do a video for 2 names, but if anyone Norwegians can help with audio if he forget grateful.
The names are Solveig and Ingveig.
Please help. Thanks all 🙏🏽
How pronounce Tøssebro please? (Tuh- seh- bro)?
Pretty much
Even😔💞💞
“Call name” in English is the name that you use to call your dog. Let’s say you name your dog Alexander. Dogs respond better to one or two syllable names, so you would shorten the name Alexander to Al or Alex when trying to get your dog’s attention.
Cool. I'd never heard of that
Where is Lise? I was born in Oslo and no one outside of Norway can pronounce my name correctly for 55 years!!
why don't u going well?

Yes
4:03 the first one is an odd name
Emil 😂
Hva heter du?
Sherriff S jeg het chris, du da?
Mohsin.. og du??

Odd and Simen are the best in English
Odd-Simen as a double name would be perfect
My cat’s name is Henning, i think its Norwegian.

Jeg heter Linea. Eventhough I'm not Norwegian at all :D
@@angellatte4759 oops yes
Freya, bjorn or loki ar not common names?:(
Bjørn used to be quite common but mostly in combination with another first name, like Bjørn Olav. I hope no one would call their child Loke 😊 but I have seen Frøya, or Frøy!
Hello, my name is Frøy (short version of Frøya) … but less than a hundred females are called that in Norway, so no, not a very common name here. I think it has become slightly more popular though because a few years ago there were only about 50 of us. I like that it is unusual though :) Bjørn is more common, but as Synne implies it's not as common anymore. There are a few hundred Lokes too. (I found the statistics as ssb.no.)
@@goddessfreya13 thanks a lot for the information, I have been in Norway for some months and I found some popular names in this area silje, Christian, Ingvild
Tord
Where can you practice speaking Norwegian online? Does anybody know?
You can try language exchange apps like Tandem and HelloTalk, or conversationexchange.com
I was praying for him to say tord because ya know tord Larson from eddsworld
I'm just a hole daddy!
Tusen takk
