I observe this channel for a time now. For me it seems the Norwegians are very very well educated and friendly. It looks like they think first before they open the "mouth" and answer. Also the people looks very happy. It seems they take time to communicate and have no hurry at all. I imagine what happens if I ask such questions in my hometown in Switzerland... Hopefully I have once time to visit Norway and see all the beauty of this country. Thanks for making such a wonderful channel / content and keep up the good work!
Having subtitles in the person's dialect, Bokmål, and English is perfect! Also, asking the interviewees their home dialect at the end. Dialect is something I've really struggled with here: I've been looking for material like this for several years.
It seems like you’re not Norwegian, so I’m gonna ask you some questions but feel free to not answer them Do you know Norwegian? If you know it did you find it hard to hear differences in people’s dialects before you learned it? And can you tell the difference now?
I think the interview of the first lady on this video and among the other videos she also appeared is so heart warming. She is the typisk nice Norwegian woman I have had most of times the pleasure to meet. Mostly positive, not prejudiced, snille. Thank you for this videos!
@@randomguy7843 lol maybe in this video but if you have seen her on the other videos you can see she is pretty sweet. This was a video about stereotypes and therefore is something that she rather won’t be discuss much. Norwegians tend to avoid conflict
About two years ago I found your simple Norwegian videos and they sparked me into learning Norwegian - i had some family over there which was an incentive. Og det ble sånn at jeg flyttet til Norge! Norsken min er ikke perfekt ennå men jeg begynner å studere neste uke og videoene dine om Norge og nordmenn har hjulpet meg skikkelig for å ha litt context om landet :) Tusen hjertelig takk altså
North/west Europeans have a stereotype of being cold because people from other places don't find the treatment they consider "normal" or "universal" of being excessively welcoming and having a high interest in foreigners (to oneself not to people from other countries) I found that most of North/west Europeans create and stick to social bonds they created from childhood years, like it's hard to befriend someone because they already have friends and are comfortable in their social circles so it's hard to change that, also the word friend is much more intimate than how Americans and Brits use it
I agree with this. We can be perceived as cold, or rather reserved. It doesn't mean we are. I find some of the answers a bit prejudiced towards other Norwegians, but it only goes to show we have all kinds of people here, same as everywhere else :)
Yeah, I think the way Scandinavians are seen as 'cold' is the same way Dutch people are seen as 'rude'. We just grew up with othere ideas of what is polite. In the USA it's polite to ask people "Hey how are you?" if they're entering your shop and then don't listen to the reply. In the Netherlands it's polite to discreetly point out to someone when their fly is open or they have spinach on their teeth. In Norway, I can imagine it's polite to just mind your own business.
@@Roozyj yeah I heard the Same thing about Germany but when I visited the country it was totally different from what I expected, I felt a bit judgmental and somewhat stupid when I realized that I took stereotypes too seriously 😅
@@Limassol525 I found some of the other answers a bit prejudiced against Norwegians (and those that were interviewed were all Norwegians as far as I know). A bit generalizing when it comes to how people think, I mean. That was all :)
1. Are Norwegians Cold? Yes and No. We have a culture based on clicks. so we get to know each other through established social groups, work, hobbies drinking-friends etc. We seldom cross these clicks. Also we tend to be very privilged by our soical system, so we assume anyone in our country can find opportunities if u try hard enough. A lot of our poor people are richer than low-middle class in other countries. Which leads to the social behavour that we assume strangers only talk to us if they need help with something, which we assume is provided by the government. Still we love to brag about our country. Most of us speak english. And cold social norms dont exists when we are traveling or drinking 2. Are Norwegians Socialists? Compared to a lot of other countries: yes. However we are mostly Social Democrats. Ofc we have political parties leaning in any direction, but our wellfare system is based on very socialist elements. However Capitalism is still very strong. One can argue it depends who you ask, and what angle on our society you look at 3. Are Norwegians beautiful? Like any other culture, it depends on your societies beauty standard. One can also point out that in modern times there are a large flavours of people from different ethnic backgrounds living in Norway, and they are all Norwegians. so u can find people in any shape or form and taste. 4. Are Norwegians Barbaric Vikings? Some maybe wish they were or want to be, but truth is no. Not even the Vikings were barbarics themselves, but mainly farmers, landowners and sailors. 'Viking' was a type of profession anyway' A very cultural element that you find across Norway, that come from the Vikings, is our ability to travel abroad and bring elements from other cultures to mix with ours. Historically Norwegians have been seafaring people who had good connections with the world abroad. Sharing, evolving and adapting to any new cultures they meet. 5. Where is your Dialect from? Stavanger, the oil city. Southwest of Norway.
They mean real norweigans that means Scandinavians, stop making this more complicated that it really is, norway didnt colonize anyone they got the right to preserve their native european race
This video made me feel like it was made for a school project, and it kinda anoys me that I was yelling my oppinion at the screen at the same time. Really good work!
I would rather say that Norwegian seagulls have no fear of humans at all, but know that where there are humans, there's a good chance of finding food to steal. If you're eating outdoors, keep a close guard on your food at all times, because a gull might zoom down, kamikaze style, and snatch some before you realise what happened.
Det virker så vanskelig for å forstå hva de sier. Hvem kunne ha gjettet at det kan finnes så mye unike dialekter i et så liten land! (Jeg be om unnskyldning for noe feil på norsken min, jeg lære meg fortsatt)
It is a misconception that Norway is a small country. Imagine that you put a nail on the southernmost point in Norway and turn the country. Then you can "drive" through all of Europe and out into the Mediterranean. It takes me two hours to fly from Oslo to London, but about four hours to fly from Oslo to the northernmost city in Norway. In many countries, they have common standard languages along with dialects. We do not have that. No matter what position you hold in society, you retain the dialect of your hometown, with some modifications. If you are going to learn to speak Norwegian, you should learn Eastern Norwegian, because it is most similar to the written language Bokmål. We have two written languages, Bokmål and Nynorsk. Most people write book language, which you used when you wrote your post.
@@frue1763 That's true, but from an American's perspective, Norway is relatively small in terms of sheer land size. For example, it takes like nine hours to drive from one end of Texas to the other, or 12+ hours from northernmost California to the Mexican border. And flight time from coast to coast is almost doubled in comparison. However, your point about retaining one's dialect is absolutely true, unless one undergoes speech training. I was born in northern California and have been living in the south for a while now, and still sound like I'm form NoCal.
@@willmurphy4073 I did not know you were American. In Europe we have many small countries, for example Denmark. Denmark is no bigger than a county in Norway, also many of the other small countries in Europe "fit in" in our counties. That is my perspective on "a small country". Speech training? We do not have standard languages used in formal or official contexts. If you are a hatter or King Solomon (which to us means insignificant or significant person), speak your local dialect with pride. Our prime minister is from Bergen (western Norway) and she speaks the Bergen dialect. Our Crown Princess is from Kristiansand (Southern Norway) and speaks the Kristiansand dialect. My husband comes from northern Norway and speaks the northern Norwegian dialect. We live in Oslo and my husband like everyone else who settles in a new place, just changes the most local dialect expressions, to be understood in the new place. Some examples of words he used when we became known "pia, tova, svang" completely incomprehensible to me who was born and raised in Oslo. Here we say "jente, vaskefille, sulten" (girl, washcloth, hungry). In many countries you are looked down upon if you speak a dialect, but with us the dialects have an unusually strong status.
@@dan74695 Et språk som lever, endrer seg. Før når vi ikke var så mobile var dialektene mer stabile. Etter min menig står dialektene i Norge trykt siden dialektene brukes både av "Hattemaker og kong Salimon", med stolthet.😊
As a Norwegian, here's a short rundown; I'd say most Norwegians are a degree of believer or agnostic rather than atheist. The school system effing sucks, like it does in most of the west, unless you get a private school. Well over 75% of what you're taught in school will not ever come inhandy again. A lot of mandatory classes that should be optional, and sadly too few choices of optional additional classes. Marriage is like most of the west; Can't recommend it. Very high divorce rate and men get fucked in these divorces. Norwegians love nature and taking trips. I'd say most Norwegians go hiking at least a few times a year, whether it be in forests or mountains, and some Norwegians hike a whole lot more. Most Norwegians can ski, and it's our national sport. Norway has like the most Gold in winter sports of any nation, I'm pretty sure. Socio-economical differences are pretty huge. People like to point out that we've "high wages/earnings", but neglect to look at cost of rent, cost of fuel (despite being an oil nation), cost of commodities, cost of groceries, cost of vehicles, etc. Prices are pretty damn high. Poverty would be a bit relative. Even the poorest in Norway tend to get 'taken care of', to an extent. However, you got Norwegian middle-class people who has a house, a cabin in the mountains and a boat in a harbour - and then you got people like me just over the Norwegian poverty line who ain't even got a car yet. .. Granted, I've opted not to get one, because of the mandatory insurances to pay for every month. Also we have stupid high income tax.
@@LethalOwl I agree on the marriages in particular. However, all marriages which got divorced that I know of were because of the involved men cheating, and even if the system on paper forces them to take care of the kids, rarely anyone does more than the bare required minimum and literally only pays a bit of money to the mother but spends zero of their oh-so-wholy time with the kids. Also, divorce laws in non-Western countries are even worse, letting down the mother and kids big times. My dad's family had zero income after his father had left them - and that was in 1957...
@@NoctLightCloud You know that's not the truth. Cheating men is not the primary reason for divorce. And women cheat just as much as men in Norway, they're just better at hiding it. In Norway, people can break off a marriage for simply being bored of one another, and that's usually cases filed by women who feel like they can still get a better man somewhere else. Also in some cases, like my own father's case, I'd almost call it justified. When one partner starts to refuse giving the other the bedroom fun, or makes the other person work for it and treats it like some sort of reward (blackmail), suddenly I'd argue cheating is justified. Not only that, men cheating isn't half as bad as women cheating, and there's a biological reason for it. A man can sleep with several women and not feel an emotional connection or wish to stay with either of them afterwards. A woman will not voluntarily sleep with a man she doesn't fancy in some way or another. Women are emotionally invested when they cheat. There's a saying for this; "Men sleep with who they can, women sleep with who they *want*." This is why men of the past could have a wife at home they loved and still sleep around with 'working girls' and not give a shit about them. To men, it's like stress relief of exercise, not an emotional investment in any way. Women bond much quicker through that. Also unless the woman's a virgin when getting married, the chance of divorce increases already with over 20%, putting the chance of divorce at over 70% from the outset. Biology's a bitch. Edit; Also some women 'let themselves go' after getting married, making themselves very unattractive to the men who married them, which may also further contribute to making a man cheat. The amount of women who become overweight and stop taking care of themselves as soon they got that ring on their finger is staggering. Needless to say, I'm not giving a woman a ring ever, and I'm encouraging almost every young man I get to know to not do it either.
As a Norwegian: Norway is among the countries in the world with the highest % of people having a membership to a religion, however I believe a majority to be agnostic or atheist and joining the church is more of a cultural thing. The Norwegian school system operates on being fit for the common pupil. Under achievers has some struggle keeping up with the subjects and have a hard time improving their grades once they are below. Over achievers again tend to get bored senseless of school developing bad study habits as studying for them wont really be necessary until high school, when suddenly they realize they have never learned to study. School otherwise is mostly like all over the world I imagine where you have subjects like math, history, social studies, physical education etc... but I imagine our mandatory subjects of religion and a 3rd language differs from other countries. Norwegian and English is mandatory, but the 3rd language is up to the pupil themselves, granted the school is able to teach them, most common is German or Spanish. Marriage is not as common as it used to be. People generally don't really believe in religion anymore as stated above and as such being unmarried is not considered sinful. The vast majority of marriages usually involve a ceremony in the local church and a whole lot of paperwork at the closest government office. From speaking with some of my married friends I can conclude it is mostly done for the tax benefit of being married while they also consider it a nice way to tell friends and family "Yeah I will be staying with that girl/guy" Norwegians tend to love spending time in nature, but this is not a general truth. I'd say we have more people spending their spare time in nature than other countries, and learning to spend time in nature without ruining it is part of our general education. Sports, I am not really into sports myself, but even then I do enjoy the spectacle around Norwegian winter sports. It is not uncommon for work sites and even school to bend the rules a little and allow listening to the radio/watching the event on your phone when an important ski race is on. Back in junior high my math teacher even put it on the big screen during class on the condition that we did a little extra homework which the whole class agreed to. I'd say the most popular sports is football and skiing. Socio-economical differences is honestly not that grand. I myself am considered to live in relative poverty as my income is below 60% of the median income, even still I never go hungry and while, hard at times I mostly pay my bills on time. We do have some stupidly rich people too, but the vast majority manages what I would like to call the Norwegian dream of owning a car, a house and raising well fed children. The biggest visible difference in socio-economic power is honestly how you spend your vacation a lot of Norwegian use going to Spain or whatever during their vacation as a status symbol, but overall, unless you are an alcoholic or drug addict you will be able to leave rather comfortably even as a "poor" person in Norway.
Happy you're back 😀✨ I'm curious what Norwegians think about Russia 😝 My friends from USA used to think we have wild bears in cities :> Japanese thought we drank vodka all the time and that we're immune to cold
I'm a Norwegian citizen. I think of Russian Cyrillic language being displayed everywhere, that it's cold❄, there are more racism & discrimination issues... But Russians are more extroverted than Norwegians imo which is good
We have a similar thing inside Norway, where people around the capital and eastern part of Norway would believe that polar bears stalked the streets of northern Norway. About Russia, I believe most Norwegians think the Russian people seem nice and interesting, but do not think that well about the Russian government. Personally I grew up knowing a couple of Russians and they're great
@@NoNeedNoGreed haha, polar bears? :) thank you for the answer We have stereotypes that Norwegians believe in trolls and go to the mountains/woods as much as possible. I've talked to a few Norwegians in person, they seemed very nice, smart and sarcastic :) P.S. I'd describe Russians as unpredictable, entusiastisk and a wild
When I think of Russia I think of beautiful architecture, lacking human rights, Putin, beautiful language, macho men and superficial women, beautiful nature, vodka, babushkas, gorgeous art and horrible driving (fail army russian road rage🥴). Hope I didn't offend.😅😬😊
As an American my idea of a stereotypical Norwegian would be a blond/blonde who’s gone to college, pretty well-educated, bikes a lot, very organized at work, conventional, follows the rules, conformist, dedicated to his/her hobbies, doesn’t talk much with strangers but forms very close and long-lasting friendships with a few people, fond of the outdoors, maybe also fond of contemplation (because winter is a contemplative time). My guess would be that Norwegians also take pleasure in the simple, little things in life, like the view from your window during the morning commute or the steam rising up from a hot cup of coffee.
Norwegians love Asians in general. Malaysia and Norway have a very strong relationship, both political and economically. For example Malaysia is the only Asian country who have been allowed to buy the infamous NSM missile rockets from Norway to protect their ocean territory
In all honesty, that would probably be a short video. I actually had to hit up google to remember where Albania was. I don't think many Norwegians would be able to place it on a map.
I am norwegian. Found this video first now 😂 You should not ask these questions in my city they will take it personal offensive 🤦♀️ They are so stupid.
Jeg syntes damen fra Vega hadde veldig kul og unik dialekt hele veien og synes det var kult å vite at hun var fra Vega, siden jeg akkurat besøkte Vega og fikk høre dialekten der. Hadde aldri hørt den før siden jeg er fra bergen
1. They are Vikings. 2. They wield axes. 3. They basically speak Icelandic but with Danish words and Swedish pronunciation. 4. They worship Odin. 5. They worship Thor. 6. They worship Loki. 7. They raid and pillage towns. 8. They eat psychedelic mushrooms. 9. They play Age of Mythology. 10. They all have sson/sdottir in their surnames. 11. They write in younger futhark. 12. They all can understand what "ég vil. hver er þar?. já. skipan? tilbúinn. samþykkt. satt. sækið fram. árás. til orrustu slags." means. 13. They eat dead fermented sharks. 14. They listen to Viking and Black Metal. 15. They wear bear fur skin.
hmm.. sharks no, black metal no, fur skin no, raid no longer.. the new way is pussy like.. mobilface etc.. hehe.. not me tho, i hunt/fish and find food in nature. But the large is p... sad but true :)
These are my people. Very nice........well sort of. Things in Norway....btw....are way expensive. Norwegians are reserved nice. Hard to explain....trust me. Plus, if you have true Norwegian background.......Scotland......classic. Norwegians married into Scotland.......and close with the UK. My family origin.....is Drammen..........
The more I watch these videos, the more I wish to move to Norway. Is anyone willing to adopt me? Also, I like how Norwegians seem to be very reserved, as opposed to we in the US. But then many of our cities are very overcrowded, it would be rather awkward to not speak/say hello to strangers on the street. I really do like speaking with people I randomly meet, because communication is very important.
There are many poor of course, like everywhere, but of course it depends what country you compare with. In Norway there are not so many poor compared to East-Europe and Africa and Latin-America and South-Asia and South-East-Asia, but still there exist many poor. Most are not millionaries, most have what they need and little bit more, Im sattisfied with the avarage wage (between 20 - 30 . 000 pr month, after tax), but remember its also expensive. Most middleclass Norwegians have 20 - 30 years house/apartment loan. Norway as a country is rich, but norwegians are mostly middleclass, I guess you can take it in 3 parts… 1) Middleclass , 2) rich , 3) poor Generally I think the people are very greedy, not the system, but the people, and unfortenelly most (but not all) are very cold and selfish, and most are not to happy about foreiners , unfortenelly . The suicide rate is huge, and most people are not including, and most people are very judgemental :’( I dont think the country is good, only the system is good. Im not lucky beeing born here, beeing raised here, having passport here, money and system is not all that matters in life, in my opinion it matters just a bit, of course one need enough to survive and have a bed a shower, and enough food to eat to be lucky, but one dont need to live in a country with a good system, or alot of money to be lucky. Happiness and luckyness is family and friends and co-workers. Job is important, but not because of high wage, its important because not having a job makes people depressed. I choose low education, because it doesnt matter to have a good wage, what matters is to do what you like in a job, and have enough to survive and have good co-workers , not million wage. If people think beeing millionary is an important thing, they are greedy. If people think I am lucky just beeing born in Norway, they are greedy. Many foreiners return on free will, just because they feel depressed here. They think Norway would make them happy, and came here, educate here, learn the language, got citizenship here, got rich here, but missed their country so much, that the chose to move back to their poor homeland with their corrupt goverment, because they found out that what they expected didnt made them happy after all
@@malesal5452 where? I dont know where its better or whorse …… maybe Norway, maybe not. But my family is here, and friends….. and I can not automaticly get a premission to live anywhere else. Its a lot of paper work and beraucracy for me to emigrate. Its not more easy for me to emigrate , as its for you, its the same prosess of paper work. I dont say that I am UN-lucky, but Im not automaticly lucky either. My point is that it dosnt matter if its Norway or mostwhere else, because there are lets say 10.000 reasons to be lucky and happy. Middleclass salary is just 1 of 10.000 reasons to be lucky. There are 9.999 other things in life also that can make you lucky. Economy is taken out of contecst, and it depends from person to person how people think in life, one can not speak for every single human , and than judge other for who is beeing lucky or not. Some people think economy is important. But i think nature and weather and outdoor activities is even more important than economy. For example me, I dont have the same acress on warm beach, windsurf, weather for warm outdoor activities as a person from lets say Rio de Janeiro or pillipines. There are many factors that matters of having a life of lucky surrondings. Economy is just on of many things. And to emigrate is something very expensive, that I can not afford, because Im just a avarage norwegian , not a millionary, and who will give me premission to live somewhere else? And is there any jobs I can get? Dosnt need to be good payed, but i need income to survive, and I have to learn a New language (exept russian and english, I speak some english and some russian). No i dont know if I would move, because my lovely friends and lovely family lives here. And my lovely co-workers. So where should I go? MAYBE Norway is the best place to live, and MAYBE NOT. I havnt try an other country. One can NEVER EVER say where its best or whorst to live, not without trying. Many foreiners are «100% sure» that they will have a perfekt life in Norway , but many of them totally change their mind about it (even after permanent premission and norwegian passport), and go back to their home. One thing is to be a tourist here. An other thing is to live here, and it maybe very exiting to move to a New country, but than it might become depressing after a while, not for everyone, but for many. People are more nice to tourists and new norwegians, but when the new norwegians have live here for a wihle, they are not so good treated BUT when that is saied. I WANNA have MORE foreiners to Norway. Because we NEED more people here. There is not enough people here, to few people, and to many jobs, so I wish people welcome :-) , and foreiners are often more nice and including (in awarage) than ethnic norwegians, so yeah, pleace come, but you are not automaticly lucky, just for living here, you will find out after a while if you have a lucky feeling or not! As I say…. Many people are «100% sure» that Norway and middleclass economy will be like a dream, BUT they often change their mind about it, and they are suddenly not «100% sure» anymore. Dont take anything for grounded without giving it a try!!! You might change your mind, SAME WITH ME, I might change my mind as well if I go somewhere else , impossible to say. According to statistics, its impossible to give your self a mind about how things feels, if you dont try it first. Some years ago I was 100% «sure» that playing Chess would make me happy, after a year or so, it was totally boring. I got some ensurance money, and fixed my bathroom into a luxary bathroom, I am not rich, it was because of ensurance, did I become happy about it? Yes, for a year, now I dont care, I could live with my old rotten bathroom as well, wouldent change a thing, I just did it because I didnt want my apartment to fall apart or get injured by insects, apart for that, no. I would be sattisfied even with a more simple and cheaper bathroom, the only thing I ask for was a new bathroom, and the ensurance company gave me a luxary bathroom. a clean and fixed bathroom would be totally okey. So no, I think people who care to much about materalism are greedy and selfish, And Im embaresed of my new bathroom
@@malesal5452 and let me ask… have you ever lived in Norway before? If you dont have, you can not tell if its a good place to live or not just based on reading about it on the internet
Tjaaaa, vi er litt kalde ja, eller vi ser kanskje mer kalde ut enn det vi er. Hvis noen sitter ved sida meg på bussen ville jeg har 100% flyttet meg. Ikke for og være frekk! Men min social skills er litt lave da lol. Vil heller stå enn å sitte med noen på bussen!!!

Don't forget the dude behind the camera
it's not that far off XD we are very few
I missed your videos, good to see your videos popping up again!
1. Are Norwegians Cold?
Yes and No. We have a culture based on clicks. so we get to know each other through established social groups, work, hobbies drinking-friends etc. We seldom cross these clicks.
Also we tend to be very privilged by our soical system, so we assume anyone in our country can find opportunities if u try hard enough. A lot of our poor people are richer than low-middle class in other countries. Which leads to the social behavour that we assume strangers only talk to us if they need help with something, which we assume is provided by the government.
Still we love to brag about our country. Most of us speak english. And cold social norms dont exists when we are traveling or drinking
2. Are Norwegians Socialists?
Compared to a lot of other countries: yes. However we are mostly Social Democrats. Ofc we have political parties leaning in any direction, but our wellfare system is based on very socialist elements. However Capitalism is still very strong. One can argue it depends who you ask, and what angle on our society you look at
3. Are Norwegians beautiful?
Like any other culture, it depends on your societies beauty standard.
One can also point out that in modern times there are a large flavours of people from different ethnic backgrounds living in Norway, and they are all Norwegians. so u can find people in any shape or form and taste.
4. Are Norwegians Barbaric Vikings?
Some maybe wish they were or want to be, but truth is no.
Not even the Vikings were barbarics themselves, but mainly farmers, landowners and sailors. 'Viking' was a type of profession anyway'
A very cultural element that you find across Norway, that come from the Vikings, is our ability to travel abroad and bring elements from other cultures to mix with ours. Historically Norwegians have been seafaring people who had good connections with the world abroad. Sharing, evolving and adapting to any new cultures they meet.
5. Where is your Dialect from?
Stavanger, the oil city. Southwest of Norway.
They mean real norweigans that means Scandinavians, stop making this more complicated that it really is, norway didnt colonize anyone they got the right to preserve their native european race
Miss this type of videos glad your back :)✨❤😊
This video made me feel like it was made for a school project, and it kinda anoys me that I was yelling my oppinion at the screen at the same time. Really good work!
2:15 I don't know about the people, but the norwegian seagulls are really friendly
I would rather say that Norwegian seagulls have no fear of humans at all, but know that where there are humans, there's a good chance of finding food to steal. If you're eating outdoors, keep a close guard on your food at all times, because a gull might zoom down, kamikaze style, and snatch some before you realise what happened.

THE MAN
THE LEGEND
HE'S BACK
I listened to the man from Bergen say 'Bergen' a dozen times. But I could never reproduce what he said. :D
"Bye, Jan!"
@@SoteriosXI Oh, thank you! As soon as I read this, then listened again...yes. :)
Det virker så vanskelig for å forstå hva de sier. Hvem kunne ha gjettet at det kan finnes så mye unike dialekter i et så liten land!
(Jeg be om unnskyldning for noe feil på norsken min, jeg lære meg fortsatt)
It is a misconception that Norway is a small country. Imagine that you put a nail on the southernmost point in Norway and turn the country. Then you can "drive" through all of Europe and out into the Mediterranean. It takes me two hours to fly from Oslo to London, but about four hours to fly from Oslo to the northernmost city in Norway. In many countries, they have common standard languages along with dialects. We do not have that. No matter what position you hold in society, you retain the dialect of your hometown, with some modifications. If you are going to learn to speak Norwegian, you should learn Eastern Norwegian, because it is most similar to the written language Bokmål. We have two written languages, Bokmål and Nynorsk. Most people write book language, which you used when you wrote your post.
@@frue1763 That's true, but from an American's perspective, Norway is relatively small in terms of sheer land size. For example, it takes like nine hours to drive from one end of Texas to the other, or 12+ hours from northernmost California to the Mexican border. And flight time from coast to coast is almost doubled in comparison. However, your point about retaining one's dialect is absolutely true, unless one undergoes speech training. I was born in northern California and have been living in the south for a while now, and still sound like I'm form NoCal.
@@willmurphy4073 I did not know you were American. In Europe we have many small countries, for example Denmark. Denmark is no bigger than a county in Norway, also many of the other small countries in Europe "fit in" in our counties. That is my perspective on "a small country". Speech training? We do not have standard languages used in formal or official contexts. If you are a hatter or King Solomon (which to us means insignificant or significant person), speak your local dialect with pride. Our prime minister is from Bergen (western Norway) and she speaks the Bergen dialect. Our Crown Princess is from Kristiansand (Southern Norway) and speaks the Kristiansand dialect. My husband comes from northern Norway and speaks the northern Norwegian dialect. We live in Oslo and my husband like everyone else who settles in a new place, just changes the most local dialect expressions, to be understood in the new place. Some examples of words he used when we became known "pia, tova, svang" completely incomprehensible to me who was born and raised in Oslo. Here we say "jente, vaskefille, sulten" (girl, washcloth, hungry). In many countries you are looked down upon if you speak a dialect, but with us the dialects have an unusually strong status.
Dialektene forsvinn då. Dialektene i denna videoen er ikkje så ulike. Dei fleste i dessa videoane pratar veldig utvatna.
@@dan74695 Et språk som lever, endrer seg. Før når vi ikke var så mobile var dialektene mer stabile. Etter min menig står dialektene i Norge trykt siden dialektene brukes både av "Hattemaker og kong Salimon", med stolthet.😊

I feel like its almost always the same people in the video haha. Would be interesting to see perspective from people from other cities :)
Please: Norwegians and religion, school system, marriage, Norwegians and nature, sports, socio-economical differences, poverty in Norway...
As a Norwegian, here's a short rundown; I'd say most Norwegians are a degree of believer or agnostic rather than atheist. The school system effing sucks, like it does in most of the west, unless you get a private school. Well over 75% of what you're taught in school will not ever come inhandy again. A lot of mandatory classes that should be optional, and sadly too few choices of optional additional classes. Marriage is like most of the west; Can't recommend it. Very high divorce rate and men get fucked in these divorces. Norwegians love nature and taking trips. I'd say most Norwegians go hiking at least a few times a year, whether it be in forests or mountains, and some Norwegians hike a whole lot more. Most Norwegians can ski, and it's our national sport. Norway has like the most Gold in winter sports of any nation, I'm pretty sure. Socio-economical differences are pretty huge. People like to point out that we've "high wages/earnings", but neglect to look at cost of rent, cost of fuel (despite being an oil nation), cost of commodities, cost of groceries, cost of vehicles, etc. Prices are pretty damn high. Poverty would be a bit relative. Even the poorest in Norway tend to get 'taken care of', to an extent. However, you got Norwegian middle-class people who has a house, a cabin in the mountains and a boat in a harbour - and then you got people like me just over the Norwegian poverty line who ain't even got a car yet. .. Granted, I've opted not to get one, because of the mandatory insurances to pay for every month. Also we have stupid high income tax.
@@LethalOwl Thanks for your input :))
@@LethalOwl I agree on the marriages in particular. However, all marriages which got divorced that I know of were because of the involved men cheating, and even if the system on paper forces them to take care of the kids, rarely anyone does more than the bare required minimum and literally only pays a bit of money to the mother but spends zero of their oh-so-wholy time with the kids. Also, divorce laws in non-Western countries are even worse, letting down the mother and kids big times. My dad's family had zero income after his father had left them - and that was in 1957...
@@NoctLightCloud You know that's not the truth. Cheating men is not the primary reason for divorce. And women cheat just as much as men in Norway, they're just better at hiding it.
In Norway, people can break off a marriage for simply being bored of one another, and that's usually cases filed by women who feel like they can still get a better man somewhere else.
Also in some cases, like my own father's case, I'd almost call it justified. When one partner starts to refuse giving the other the bedroom fun, or makes the other person work for it and treats it like some sort of reward (blackmail), suddenly I'd argue cheating is justified.
Not only that, men cheating isn't half as bad as women cheating, and there's a biological reason for it. A man can sleep with several women and not feel an emotional connection or wish to stay with either of them afterwards. A woman will not voluntarily sleep with a man she doesn't fancy in some way or another. Women are emotionally invested when they cheat. There's a saying for this; "Men sleep with who they can, women sleep with who they *want*."
This is why men of the past could have a wife at home they loved and still sleep around with 'working girls' and not give a shit about them. To men, it's like stress relief of exercise, not an emotional investment in any way. Women bond much quicker through that.
Also unless the woman's a virgin when getting married, the chance of divorce increases already with over 20%, putting the chance of divorce at over 70% from the outset. Biology's a bitch.
Edit; Also some women 'let themselves go' after getting married, making themselves very unattractive to the men who married them, which may also further contribute to making a man cheat. The amount of women who become overweight and stop taking care of themselves as soon they got that ring on their finger is staggering. Needless to say, I'm not giving a woman a ring ever, and I'm encouraging almost every young man I get to know to not do it either.
As a Norwegian:
Norway is among the countries in the world with the highest % of people having a membership to a religion, however I believe a majority to be agnostic or atheist and joining the church is more of a cultural thing.
The Norwegian school system operates on being fit for the common pupil. Under achievers has some struggle keeping up with the subjects and have a hard time improving their grades once they are below. Over achievers again tend to get bored senseless of school developing bad study habits as studying for them wont really be necessary until high school, when suddenly they realize they have never learned to study. School otherwise is mostly like all over the world I imagine where you have subjects like math, history, social studies, physical education etc... but I imagine our mandatory subjects of religion and a 3rd language differs from other countries. Norwegian and English is mandatory, but the 3rd language is up to the pupil themselves, granted the school is able to teach them, most common is German or Spanish.
Marriage is not as common as it used to be. People generally don't really believe in religion anymore as stated above and as such being unmarried is not considered sinful. The vast majority of marriages usually involve a ceremony in the local church and a whole lot of paperwork at the closest government office. From speaking with some of my married friends I can conclude it is mostly done for the tax benefit of being married while they also consider it a nice way to tell friends and family "Yeah I will be staying with that girl/guy"
Norwegians tend to love spending time in nature, but this is not a general truth. I'd say we have more people spending their spare time in nature than other countries, and learning to spend time in nature without ruining it is part of our general education.
Sports, I am not really into sports myself, but even then I do enjoy the spectacle around Norwegian winter sports. It is not uncommon for work sites and even school to bend the rules a little and allow listening to the radio/watching the event on your phone when an important ski race is on. Back in junior high my math teacher even put it on the big screen during class on the condition that we did a little extra homework which the whole class agreed to. I'd say the most popular sports is football and skiing.
Socio-economical differences is honestly not that grand. I myself am considered to live in relative poverty as my income is below 60% of the median income, even still I never go hungry and while, hard at times I mostly pay my bills on time. We do have some stupidly rich people too, but the vast majority manages what I would like to call the Norwegian dream of owning a car, a house and raising well fed children. The biggest visible difference in socio-economic power is honestly how you spend your vacation a lot of Norwegian use going to Spain or whatever during their vacation as a status symbol, but overall, unless you are an alcoholic or drug addict you will be able to leave rather comfortably even as a "poor" person in Norway.
I love that they are so honest about themselves
Norwegian stereotypes: Eating fish 🐟, Vikings, Electric Cars⚡️🚘
Happy you're back 😀✨
I'm curious what Norwegians think about Russia 😝
My friends from USA used to think we have wild bears in cities :> Japanese thought we drank vodka all the time and that we're immune to cold
I'm a Norwegian citizen. I think of Russian Cyrillic language being displayed everywhere, that it's cold❄, there are more racism & discrimination issues... But Russians are more extroverted than Norwegians imo which is good
We have a similar thing inside Norway, where people around the capital and eastern part of Norway would believe that polar bears stalked the streets of northern Norway.
About Russia, I believe most Norwegians think the Russian people seem nice and interesting, but do not think that well about the Russian government. Personally I grew up knowing a couple of Russians and they're great
@@mar754 Thanks for the answer :)
Unfortunately that's true about racism, adults who are 45+ all are 😔
And yeah it can be pretty cold 🥶
@@NoNeedNoGreed haha, polar bears? :) thank you for the answer
We have stereotypes that Norwegians believe in trolls and go to the mountains/woods as much as possible. I've talked to a few Norwegians in person, they seemed very nice, smart and sarcastic :)
P.S. I'd describe Russians as unpredictable, entusiastisk and a wild
When I think of Russia I think of beautiful architecture, lacking human rights, Putin, beautiful language, macho men and superficial women, beautiful nature, vodka, babushkas, gorgeous art and horrible driving (fail army russian road rage🥴). Hope I didn't offend.😅😬😊
As an American my idea of a stereotypical Norwegian would be a blond/blonde who’s gone to college, pretty well-educated, bikes a lot, very organized at work, conventional, follows the rules, conformist, dedicated to his/her hobbies, doesn’t talk much with strangers but forms very close and long-lasting friendships with a few people, fond of the outdoors, maybe also fond of contemplation (because winter is a contemplative time). My guess would be that Norwegians also take pleasure in the simple, little things in life, like the view from your window during the morning commute or the steam rising up from a hot cup of coffee.

Are there Malaysians in Norway? If so, what do they think of them?
Norwegians love Asians in general. Malaysia and Norway have a very strong relationship, both political and economically. For example Malaysia is the only Asian country who have been allowed to buy the infamous NSM missile rockets from Norway to protect their ocean territory
I agree with Jon Blund, norwegians love Asians in general.
I know people from India, South Korea and Japan, never met anyone from Malaysia before.

It's so weird when you live here now your entire life
1. They are Vikings.
2. They wield axes.
3. They basically speak Icelandic but with Danish words and Swedish pronunciation.
4. They worship Odin.
5. They worship Thor.
6. They worship Loki.
7. They raid and pillage towns.
8. They eat psychedelic mushrooms.
9. They play Age of Mythology.
10. They all have sson/sdottir in their surnames.
11. They write in younger futhark.
12. They all can understand what "ég vil. hver er þar?. já. skipan? tilbúinn. samþykkt. satt. sækið fram. árás. til orrustu slags." means.
13. They eat dead fermented sharks.
14. They listen to Viking and Black Metal.
15. They wear bear fur skin.
hmm.. sharks no, black metal no, fur skin no, raid no longer.. the new way is pussy like.. mobilface etc.. hehe.. not me tho, i hunt/fish and find food in nature. But the large is p... sad but true :)
I think a lot of the stereotypes you have here are about icelandic people and not Norwegian. I think you have us confused.
These are my people. Very nice........well sort of. Things in Norway....btw....are way expensive. Norwegians are reserved nice. Hard to explain....trust me. Plus, if you have true Norwegian background.......Scotland......classic. Norwegians married into Scotland.......and close with the UK. My family origin.....is Drammen..........
Norway FOREVER
Heeyy!! That's my city!! :D :D
I like how refugee says they just get free money from the government :)
The more I watch these videos, the more I wish to move to Norway.
Is anyone willing to adopt me?
Also, I like how Norwegians seem to be very reserved, as opposed to we in the US. But then many of our cities are very overcrowded, it would be rather awkward to not speak/say hello to strangers on the street. I really do like speaking with people I randomly meet, because communication is very important.

There are many poor of course, like everywhere, but of course it depends what country you compare with. In Norway there are not so many poor compared to East-Europe and Africa and Latin-America and South-Asia and South-East-Asia, but still there exist many poor. Most are not millionaries, most have what they need and little bit more, Im sattisfied with the avarage wage (between 20 - 30 . 000 pr month, after tax), but remember its also expensive. Most middleclass Norwegians have 20 - 30 years house/apartment loan. Norway as a country is rich, but norwegians are mostly middleclass, I guess you can take it in 3 parts… 1) Middleclass , 2) rich , 3) poor
Generally I think the people are very greedy, not the system, but the people, and unfortenelly most (but not all) are very cold and selfish, and most are not to happy about foreiners , unfortenelly . The suicide rate is huge, and most people are not including, and most people are very judgemental :’( I dont think the country is good, only the system is good. Im not lucky beeing born here, beeing raised here, having passport here, money and system is not all that matters in life, in my opinion it matters just a bit, of course one need enough to survive and have a bed a shower, and enough food to eat to be lucky, but one dont need to live in a country with a good system, or alot of money to be lucky. Happiness and luckyness is family and friends and co-workers. Job is important, but not because of high wage, its important because not having a job makes people depressed. I choose low education, because it doesnt matter to have a good wage, what matters is to do what you like in a job, and have enough to survive and have good co-workers , not million wage. If people think beeing millionary is an important thing, they are greedy. If people think I am lucky just beeing born in Norway, they are greedy. Many foreiners return on free will, just because they feel depressed here. They think Norway would make them happy, and came here, educate here, learn the language, got citizenship here, got rich here, but missed their country so much, that the chose to move back to their poor homeland with their corrupt goverment, because they found out that what they expected didnt made them happy after all
Just emigrate then
@@malesal5452 where? I dont know where its better or whorse …… maybe Norway, maybe not. But my family is here, and friends….. and I can not automaticly get a premission to live anywhere else. Its a lot of paper work and beraucracy for me to emigrate. Its not more easy for me to emigrate , as its for you, its the same prosess of paper work. I dont say that I am UN-lucky, but Im not automaticly lucky either. My point is that it dosnt matter if its Norway or mostwhere else, because there are lets say 10.000 reasons to be lucky and happy. Middleclass salary is just 1 of 10.000 reasons to be lucky. There are 9.999 other things in life also that can make you lucky. Economy is taken out of contecst, and it depends from person to person how people think in life, one can not speak for every single human , and than judge other for who is beeing lucky or not. Some people think economy is important. But i think nature and weather and outdoor activities is even more important than economy. For example me, I dont have the same acress on warm beach, windsurf, weather for warm outdoor activities as a person from lets say Rio de Janeiro or pillipines. There are many factors that matters of having a life of lucky surrondings. Economy is just on of many things. And to emigrate is something very expensive, that I can not afford, because Im just a avarage norwegian , not a millionary, and who will give me premission to live somewhere else? And is there any jobs I can get? Dosnt need to be good payed, but i need income to survive, and I have to learn a New language (exept russian and english, I speak some english and some russian). No i dont know if I would move, because my lovely friends and lovely family lives here. And my lovely co-workers. So where should I go? MAYBE Norway is the best place to live, and MAYBE NOT. I havnt try an other country. One can NEVER EVER say where its best or whorst to live, not without trying. Many foreiners are «100% sure» that they will have a perfekt life in Norway , but many of them totally change their mind about it (even after permanent premission and norwegian passport), and go back to their home. One thing is to be a tourist here. An other thing is to live here, and it maybe very exiting to move to a New country, but than it might become depressing after a while, not for everyone, but for many. People are more nice to tourists and new norwegians, but when the new norwegians have live here for a wihle, they are not so good treated
BUT when that is saied. I WANNA have MORE foreiners to Norway. Because we NEED more people here. There is not enough people here, to few people, and to many jobs, so I wish people welcome :-) , and foreiners are often more nice and including (in awarage) than ethnic norwegians, so yeah, pleace come, but you are not automaticly lucky, just for living here, you will find out after a while if you have a lucky feeling or not! As I say…. Many people are «100% sure» that Norway and middleclass economy will be like a dream, BUT they often change their mind about it, and they are suddenly not «100% sure» anymore. Dont take anything for grounded without giving it a try!!! You might change your mind, SAME WITH ME, I might change my mind as well if I go somewhere else , impossible to say. According to statistics, its impossible to give your self a mind about how things feels, if you dont try it first. Some years ago I was 100% «sure» that playing Chess would make me happy, after a year or so, it was totally boring. I got some ensurance money, and fixed my bathroom into a luxary bathroom, I am not rich, it was because of ensurance, did I become happy about it? Yes, for a year, now I dont care, I could live with my old rotten bathroom as well, wouldent change a thing, I just did it because I didnt want my apartment to fall apart or get injured by insects, apart for that, no. I would be sattisfied even with a more simple and cheaper bathroom, the only thing I ask for was a new bathroom, and the ensurance company gave me a luxary bathroom. a clean and fixed bathroom would be totally okey. So no, I think people who care to much about materalism are greedy and selfish,
And Im embaresed of my new bathroom
