OMG! It's not that hard but when the mini test started, I was just "omg it's a little too fast huh?" Hahahsh and when it was 5555 or 7777, OMG! I was just a mess hahahahshh oh, and I'm sorry for my english ** You're really a good teacher!! I'm loving your videos!!
God bless you. This is exactly the kind of thing that I've been looking for. The explanations are great, the tips are excellent and the exercises are super helpful and make it real.
Love these videos for both me (I’d say I am at intermediate level but need a refresher) and for my husband who is an absolute beginner and the way you enunciate is very helpful. I get also confused sometimes as my norsk family speak trønder norsk.
The reason why Norwegian does milliards and such is because they use the original numbering system. English once also used this, but it has since fallen out of use.
Lol I did horrible when it came to the mini test. I've only been studying Norsk for a week or so and progress is really slow. I'm still practicing pronouncing the letters correctly and constantly reviewing phrases but I feel like I should already be past that. Oh well, guess it just takes time
Man I love this, you're so good! I'm planning to move to Norway prolly next year, and as early as know I'm studying the language. This helps me a lot!. Tusen Takk.
Thanks for this lession! I lived in Billingstad as a child for a little over a year and learned to count. Wondered if I'd forgotten any as hoping to go back next year. I remembered all, with the exception of 14. Ha, strange. But not bad after over 40 years :-)
Heisann, whoever runs this channel! I have a question I hope you see. I am trying to learn Norwegian, and your video are a big help, but I'm having one problem: I forget everything! Nothing stays in my head, no pronunciation, no phrases, nothing! I even had to look through my notes to remember how to say Hi! So my question is this, how should I practice? Should I use flashcards or something? Tusen Takk!! :) Edit for misspelling a word in English.. maybe I am not ready to learn another language (just kidding)
@@SimpleNorwegian Thanks! The test at the end really helped me learn the numbers and now I remember almost all of them! I will definitely make some flashcards for other lessons!
Just use duolingo. U will repeat the words hundreds of times. They teach by the principle of "how the children learn a language", and that's by repeating the same thing over and over and over, until it gets naturally simple and "logical" to you. This channel, Simple Norwegian, helps me a lot, cause we r not kids, so it's much better (for me) when I see the structure, the "rules", and then, again: repeating, which duolingo does best! Any one can learn an extra language. If u learnt yours, u can learn as many as u put yourself into. But, keep in mind, u have to listen to the language, read it, speak it, repeat it. Otherwise it "goes to sleep", it's stored somewhere "in the back" of your brain and comes out again, when u r put among people who speak it. Im currently learning Norwegian, cause we want to go to Bergen to see as many fjords as possible, next August. But I've studied more than 15 languages by now and speak many of these fluently
@@junglegirl5174OMG thanks, this what i was thinking, like i love Duolingo, but i was felling I was missing something, but this channel help me a lot to fell more confident about my learning
as a polish speaker im so happy that bilion in norsk is milliard and then billion for trillion. numbers i use only while talking about worth of huge companies. but still. my brain is so happy for being understood x
I'll wait on your test until I've studied some. Got me a notebook and I'm using Duolingo and your videos. Hope it works. Tried to learn french in high school and all I remember is: Je voudrais tu dans ma lit (or derriere) And Je faire un promenade a pied avec la papier toilette.
To be more accurate, "et hus" means "a house", while "ett hus" means "one house". Notice that when you put emphasis on the number of houses being 1, you need to use the word "ett" with two t's! But to be fair, many Norwegians also get this wrong and mix up "et"/"ett". Edit: For "en" you can also add an accent above the e ("én") to put emphasis on the number one, e.g. "én million".
Enig med deg. Etter mitt skjønn blir det feil å blande inn ubestemt artikkel i en leksjon om tallord. Selv om det sikkert vil være nyttig å gjøre "elevene" oppmerksom på at det her er snakk om to forskjellige ting. Antakelig fort gjort å bli forvirret.
excellent! just a request re the timing on the test: time how long it actually takes you to say the larger numbers and set the timer appropriately. the timer is shorter than your own verbal answer in some cases ❤
Actually, I use million, milliard and billion in my native language too. It is even better for me 🥰 btw space between the number we use too. Wtf it looks so similar 🙈
The difference between the English and Norwegian billion and milliard is because both languages use different scales. In English the short scale is used, while in Norwegian, French, Spanish and some other languages the long scale is used.
@@watchmakerful yea, I know. But the matter was how much it's alike. And speaking of English and Norwegian, it seems the most similar from everything I've ever seen among the Germanic languages (despite the case when both of the compared languages are continental North Germanic).
Can anyone tell me is this correct? I get confused with which word to use with words like 'god' 'bra' 'du' 'deg' etcetera, only been studying for a few days :)
This was an excellent introduction on Norwegian numbers. A correction about the number 1, however: En gutt, ei jente, et hus means *a* boy, *a* girl and *a* house respectively. If you want them to mean specifically _one_ boy, girl or house, it's: Én gutt (note the accent) Ei jente (ok, so there's no difference here) Ett hus Which means it is also _ett_ hundre, not "et" hundre. Unless you wish to number something as eg. "et hundretalls" - "about a hundred". Many Norwegians get this wrong, too, which annoys the hell out of me. Also, the v in "tolv" is not pronounced in standard Norwegian, but many dialects do pronounce it, and very markedly too. As for the multiples of 10: the order is optional, but the "German" style (eg. "one and twenty") is more old-fashioned. Still the preferred method in some dialects. When it comes to the 30s, however, it is always "tretti" if thirty comes first, but always "tredve" if thirty comes second. "Tretti-to" vs. "to-og-tredve". "Førti" is often abbreviated as "førr" if it's in the second position: "Fir'-og-førr" (44). As for large numbers (million, millard, billion, billiard, trillion, trilliard etc.), the reason why there's a discrepancy with the English is because English uses the short form of large numbers, and the European standard is the long form. By all rights, Britain should be using the long form as well, but for some reason they have adopted the American practice of using the short form. And just because: ua-cam.com/video/WgkkdiDYGus/v-deo.html
A couple of things worth mentioning if you don't mind, Hundreds between one thousand one hundred and one thousand nine hundred are, more often than not, expressed solely as a number of hundreds. Tolv hundre, tretten hundre and so on. As for years of the second millennium (except the first century, where it is forbidden) this is mandatory. Unless one skips the "hundre og" altogether and says, e.g "nitten nittini". At least when it is obvious that one is talking about a specific year.
I think you are really good at explaining. Thank you so much.

The mini test is really helpful !
Wow, my best invested 18 minutes of the day :D
this is awesome, such well made videos and great structure. thank you for this!! takk for det!
Dude,you really good at this!And you English is awesome
Love these videos for both me (I’d say I am at intermediate level but need a refresher) and for my husband who is an absolute beginner and the way you enunciate is very helpful. I get also confused sometimes as my norsk family speak trønder norsk.
By the way, metric prefixes "femto" and "atto" (10^(-15) and 10^(-18)) came from these words "femten" and "atten".
That's pretty cool! Makes it much easier to remember those prefixes now :D
The reason why Norwegian does milliards and such is because they use the original numbering system. English once also used this, but it has since fallen out of use.
Most language use numbers that way, English is just the odd one out.

The difference between the English and Norwegian billion and milliard is because both languages use different scales. In English the short scale is used, while in Norwegian, French, Spanish and some other languages the long scale is used.
For anyone wondering the word for zero is 'Null'.
Er null et tall?
Thanks for the awesome video. Do you have any tips to roll my R’s better? I find it difficult to pronounce “tretti” and “hundre”
Seksti sounds like a scottish man just saying sixty xD

As for me, the counting system strongly resembles the English one, and not only in terms of its vocabulary
It's common for Germanic languages. Maybe even not only Germanic.

Great video! And as an FYI, 1st, 2nd, 3rd are called ordinal numbers in English. Since ordinal numbers tell the position, then these are nummer?
I think that it is pretty useful, althoguh machist.
btw in germany the "billion" is also 1 milliarde and the "trillion" is 1 billionen, same as "på norsk" :)

Only in english and in portuguese we see a billion as 1 followed by 9 zeros, but it depends from the country you are in... Examples: Brazil and USA
