My grandma and grandpa live in Norway(i live in Sweden) so every time we visit they always have nugatti(not sure on the spelling) bc they know I love chocolate. And every time they visit us they bring Freja chocolate, the rolls if you know what I mean, like bowls!
There is nothing called "Norwegian American", either they're Norwegian or they are not. I don't become a "Norwegian Swede" by moving to Sweden and have a child with another Norwegian, the child will have dual citizenship and I'll still be a Norwegian living in Sweden, just like your grandparents are just Norwegians living in America.
Puro Norwegian Americans are Americans of Norwegian descent, and there are more Norwegian Americans than ethnic Norwegians, so it certainly is a thing.
Norwegian joke about swedes. There are 3 swedes in the wild. They find tracks. One swede says "oh it's Elk tracks", the other swede says "no, no it's reindeer tracks", the other swede gets killed by a train. It's train tracks lol.
I've always liked the comradeship Sweden has with Norway and Denmark. One joke that's always stayed with me is language related. "The Danish language sounds like a drunk Swede attempting to speak Norwegian."
Haha. Loved it. So basically we do the same. Make jokes about our Swedish friends. But it's with no ill intent. More like the same way we would talk "trash" to our best friend. Generally speaking, we love our Swedish neighbours.
Yes, yes we do. Much like most men, us Norwegians and Swedes insult each other without meaning it. And like most women, we also compliment each other without meaning it. (jk tho)
@@myskelimask5515 you should, the income for jobs in comparison to sweden is much higher. You can be a fisherman and earn a ton of kr. here, really capitalistic. Immigration is extremely low here.
@Emil b immigration😂 come on... just don't move to places dominated by muslims, like the east in oslo. The only danger zone.. it's nothing like rinkeby tho
A Norwegian, a Swede, and a Dane was stuck on a deserted island. Suddenly they found a bottle with a genie inside, and he gave each of them one wish. First, the Norwegian wished himself back to Norway, and the Dane wished himself back to Denmark. The poor Swede got lonely, so he wished them both back.
"It's actually become so popular in Sweden that a lot of Swedes have started to speak Norwegian...". Made me really smile. It's so funny; just yesterday, I was googling around how to speak Swedish with Norwegian accent/melody/intonation. I'm learning Swedish right now, because I really in love with the country and wanna live at least for a while there. And I've also been recently watching (and rewatching) Skam and I can't even explain how much I fell in love with the intonation of the Norwegian language. It doesn't necessarily sound happy to me, just the way they accentuate and play with some words in the sentence. So it's seems to me so emotional and expressive. Never thought I would find a language, I'd come to think that sounds better than French to me. So given that I didn't find anything on google, I really wonder how did it go with the Swedes trying to speak with the Oslo accent? :)
Roman Priscepov I feel the same about Norway it is so buetiful and the culture and the language is buetiful and just God I'm in love with Norway and the country's around it
@@factsdontcareaboutyourfeel4638 Oil money, it will be the other way around in 50 years when it runs out so dw you will love cleaning tables in Sweden!
Just came back from a vacation to both countries. I hardly knew anything about either one, that's why i took the trip, and came back in love with both countries. Norway is a little harder to enjoy considering its just so expensive. Stockholm has a new place in my heart. People are so light hearted, caring and respectful of eachother. Not sure if it was just that they are so happy to see summer arrive but I just got the feeling that they are very happy people in general. It was a wonderful trip and I'm going to save my $ to get back there again.
hahaha, I love those made up words, I need to remember them. I love the friendly banter between Scandinavian countries. Have you seen the NRK sketch "kamelloso"? It's about a Norwegian trying to talk with a Danish shopkeeper.
Sweden: hi denmark do you want to here a joke? Denmark: yes let me here! Sweden: ”Skåne” Denmark: i don’t get it? Sweden: thats right... you will never get it!
Nah man, the only country that Sweden hates is Denmark. Maybe Finland as well but I'm of the impression that they look down on them rather than hate them.
I don't think many Swedes hate Danes anymore :O Personally I like them just as much as I like Norwegians. I think it's just harder to relate to Danes because we can't really understand their language very well. I have a small problem with the Finns if anything. They seem to hate us Swedes and leave a lot of aggressive comments on the internet. Also when I have visited Finland they just seem very quiet and look angry too. They don't seem like the kinda people to happily greet their neighbors or really care about customer service etc. I don't think this about all Finnish people, there are still a lot of them that seem really normal and nice.
My friend and I always imitate our neighbours, he always imitates Danes and I imitate Norwegians. And when I pretend to speak Norwegian I just speak Swedish but I exaggerate the intonations of sentences and I end words often on E (example: Svenske instead of Svenska) or if the word ends with an N, I remove the vowel before the N (Example: BussN instead of Bussen) oh and I put a lot of emphases on the N sound. Last things I never pronounce G as an J anywhere so Norje becomes to Norge plus I often change the O to a Ö and A to Ä, so it's Nörge. As for my friend, all he does is just sound mad and pretend he has a potato in his mouth. And no joke, it sounds like Danish.
Something you could do to sound more Norwegian is to say "Jeg" pronounced as "Jej" as well as when you say the names of languages, skip the a at the end. Like svenska becomes svensk, norska becomes norsk. Also, instead of saying the word "pratar" always say "snackar" (or "snakkar" as it is in Norwegian) Oh, and reverse the word order when talking in the genitve form, as an example: Swedish: "Det är min bror" Norwegian: "Det er broren min" (Always put the noun in the definite form) Norwegian: *"Hei, jeg snakker norsk nå, og jeg vil bare berätte att Sven er broren min"* The bold text isn't actual Norwegian I think, it's a mix between Norwegian and Swedish. And Swedish words made to sound more Norwegian.
In Denmark we can't get mad at Norwegians either, because of their cute language :) Swedes tends to have an all together different view of the Danish language - our pronounciation is the subject of much ridicule! ;) :P But no worries, we poke fun at the swedes too - actually more so, than the norwegians. Good to to see that the old animosity has turned into friendly neighbouring banter :) Talking about languages - here's a icelandic comedian on the Nordic languages: ua-cam.com/video/OSacz4GHQjs/v-deo.html
I will watch that one. Here is a good one too of a Swedish comedian performing on Iceland, also ridiculing the Danish language in it :D ua-cam.com/video/xKm9F_RExjU/v-deo.html You can skip to 2:21 when the show starts.
Arigato ( Tusen takk ) for sharing your thoughts about the Norwegians ! :) Yes, I've also had a feeling that the Norwegians never get angry. In fact, I've never seen or heard my bestefar Thor being angry. ;) I will watch your other videos, too, by the way. :D Greetings fra Japan
Hahah great video! I'm from Norway and this was a fun video to watch :) it wasn't rude just funny and informative which is nice :) And it's true that both countries have stupid jokes about the other, our jokes about Sweden are usually about stupidity or blondes... Love that you had the "ut på tur, aldri sur" because that is such a common thing to say here in Norway. Also fun to learn you call us Brisk :D in our defense we need to learn to enjoy bad weather or we would never leave the house as it can rain quite a lot :P Common things about Norway that u didn't add but often hear: - Norwegians are born with skiis on their feet - vikings, trolls and moose - Lillehamar eventyrland, seriously google this one so under appreciated kid fairytales park Great video :) curious what Sweden think of Norway as a country and Norway the people :) also curious about what a Sweden is like for someone who lives there :) what does an average day look like vs a year in Sweden? Sunny, lots of cars or bicycles, maybe cats everywhere like I saw in Crete, seriously up to 7 cats outside almost every hotel around xD share things we wouldn't know unless you lived there :)
Jeg lærte skikkelig mye gøy av å se på denne videoen!! I Norge kan det faktisk høres litt ut som at vi snakker forskjellige språk på grunn av dialektene😂😂 "'Jeg skal drepe deg'. Aww cute". lmao😂😂 Eg lo godt av dette. Eg ska ivertfall se an flere gange.😂😂😂
Den var bra! :) Ska vara ärlig, fick kolla upp vad "verdensrommet" betydde för något. Trodde först det var "vardagsrummet" , haha :D Men det blir ju världsrymden på svenska =D
Actually we - Poles make the same kind of jokes mostly about Czechs and the Czech language (their language sound like a cute version of Polish - *also apply to Russian and other slavic languages) and we make up funny words that don't exist in that language as well :)
we all do that u sound so happy lol maybe u dont hear that bcuz its different when u speak the language like i dont know what my language swedish rly soundslike
Omg HAHAH, those "Norwegian words" are hilarious! As a Norwegian I would never have guessed what those words are supposed to be (except for "kjempetorsk" which just sound like a very large fish), but they are hilarious anyways! And I hate skiing btw, and the winter in general.. I just love the christmas and having a white christmas with lots of snow outside (its so cozy). But something that is funny about our people is that we are always complaining about the weather (not all of us of course, but lets just face it all Norwegians; we complain a lot!). Yes we do have the expression "ut på tur, aldri sur", but in the reality its always like "aww its raining, I want warmth and sun!" or "omg this heat is killing me, I need some rain now!" or "omg its so cold, can't it be summer and sun soon..!?", and the complaints goes on and on. But I guess thats just part of our culture..? Is that a thing in Sweden and/or Denmark too?
As for Sweden, absolutely!! Winter is too cold, summer is to rainy, and spring and autumn should just make up their mind. Not even good weather is good weather😂 Though, I’m not sure if it is actually that bad or if we are just too picky😅
My Dad came from Sweden to Canada in 1923 . My Mom's Dad was from Norway Great wonderful people Canada was very lucky to get thousands of these people Danish too and Finnish
Being part swedish (most of my family is in Sweden, which i visit regularly) so I know about many of the typical conceptions of being norwegian in their eyes. Whenever you are in Sweden, or hear a Swede talk about Norway on television aso, they are quick to bring up the oil, and the idea that norwegians are so much richer than swedes. This needs a bit of a elaboration. What most swedes forget is that they too is one of the riches countries of the world, if you think pro capital. Until 2009 Sweden has always had a larger, by far, GDP than Norway. The main reason that we was bigger in this particular year was the financial crisis. Since our economy rely more on planned economy, where the State is a large owner and contributor and important allocation-decisions are made by government authorities and are imposed by law. The large portion of swedes coming to Norway to find work after 2009 is mainly because Sweden was much harder ridden by the financial situation after this year. If you look upon the year before, in 2008, the story is very different. In this year sweden had a GDP of 315,5 billion dollars, while Norway had 307,9 billion dollars. So the swedes may very well try to portray themself as a "poor" country, but in fact they are stinking rich. The swedish economy is about 25 % larger than our, but since there is twice as many swedes than norwegians, we are richer when it comes to pro capita. In the 1970s Norway's GDP was one third of what Sweden earned, so the rich Norway is somewhat of a new thing. But one can add that our healthcare system, the general welfare state system is something that was developed long before our country became rich. I am saying this because most swedes will point at the oil to explain our financial situation, but also this is in need of an elaboration. Only around 15 % of Norway's GDP comes from the oil. For one we probably have a better financial system than Sweden, we are bigger on raw material and Sweden has gotten a bigger competitor with new rising economies in Asia, like China and India, since the swedes have relied largely on engineering industry. As an example, the car companies in Sweden, Saab went bankrupt and Volvo was sold to the chinese. The same growing economies has had a huge demand for oil. But the main objection is that there is not really a great difference between Norway and Sweden, when it comes to conditions for the single inhabitant. The Uns, Human Development Report who try to say something about difference in prosperity between different countries. In the so-called HDI index, calculated here, GDP per capita. The value of HDI was the highest in Norway in 2011, as in the year before. Then Australia and the Netherlands followed, while Sweden reached 10th place, which is quite a good position. The report also include income probability, Norway is still at its peak. Sweden picks up to third place as a result of a significantly more even distribution of income than countries such as the United States and Germany. And when gender inequality is also included, Sweden tops the UN ranking, while Norway falls down to 6th place. But the calculations of the UN indicate that, in addition to higher consumption, and somewhat higher unemployment, Sweden may be as well-established as Norway today. In very many countries with weak institutions and with the help of powerful multinational companies, natural resource wealth does not benefit the general population, but only to the few. This has not happened in Norway where the oil wealth has been transformed into sort of a "saving account" abroad. For the time being large state owned companies like Equinor (formerly Statoil) a started the transition for a more green economy, less depended of Oil. This is an important aspect, since many of the richest countries in the World, like the US, has a large portion of their citizens living in poverty. So, it is not always about GDP, but how the finances are equally shares with the general population .
You guys actually have some pretty precise stereotypes of us, especially the outdoors stuff! We have a saying here in Norway "det finnes ikke dårlig vær, bare dårlig klær" roughly translated to "there is no such thing as bad weather, only improper clothing".
I've never known a Swede, but one of my oldest friends was Norwegian. It's true that she loved the out-of-doors and really good food. We shared a fondness for potatoes, too. She did speak of the Scandinavian rivalries and had some funny descriptions of the various stereotypes.
I just started watching Skam, and I'm at the very beginning of season 3 now. I'm German, but I can speak Swedish a bit, and it's pretty cool to see that I can translate most of the texts (e.g. messages or websites) in the show, even though I've never learnt any Norwegian. :D
I love how you say Norwegians are always sounding happy, when you in this video sounds like you are bored to death! Very good pronounciation of Norwegian! Jäg tycker det var jättegott! Hejhej, hemsmycket... hejdå!
My grandmother and grandfather are from Sweden and I was born and raised in Hawaii when I went to Sweden I thought everyone had a odd sense of humor and I thought the Swedish were so nice and polite.It felt nice to be around people that look like me .they thought it was odd that I was from so far away
Jeg er en 26-åring jente fra Norge, jeg elsker Sverige og våre svenske naboer. Jeg bor nå i USA, kom når jeg var 4 år gammel. Glad å høre at du liker vårt språk.
If you poll Americans, when they hear "Swedish" they think of Swedish Cheif (Muppets), Ikea, Volvos, Swedish fish (candy), and Swedish meatballs. Mmmm Swedish meatballs. Some even mistaken Swiss for Sweden... I do not know why. Most Americans do not usually think about the Swedes. They do not even give you the option to learn Swedish in most Colleges/Universities. I love the Swedish culture and wish there was more Swedish love over here.
Oh yes that is it exactly...the Swedish chef on the Muppets making Swedish meatballs...our only knowledge of Sweden...and yodeling.........yodalay he hooou!
We in Spain use a very frequent expression for someone who leaves the place without doing something that is assigned to her or him, ej. work, house work, any kind of task,( pretending he/she didn´t know) or also pretending he or she don´t understand something, but knowing that the person is aware of that. WE say ( no te hagas el Sueco) it means, don´t pretend to be Swedish, don´t play Swedish. The point is, you ask to the spaniards the origin of that expression nobody know .
Magdalena Jakoniuk ??? Im from norway and understand swedish fully and im 12, But i don't get why you guy's say its hard lol scandinavian languages are probably the easiest to learn atleast norwegian 😉.
random girl norwegian I think is norse combined with written danish and the tone of swedish. (Not strange since Norway have been ruled by both countries😊). Best countries ever❤️
One stereotype that a lot of swedes have about Norway is that everyone is nice there lol. To us Norway is like the Canada of Scandinavia, I guess you could say. I think this derives from that Norwegians always sound happy and therefor we make the connection that you're very friendly too.
one thing about norwegian that's better than swedish (in the written language only!) is they have fewer accents on the letters and they have phonetic spelling haha. when i type in swedish i'll cheat sometimes and use norwegian spelling to avoid the complicated accent keystrokes (on the US keyboard)
Why don't you just google how to change your keyboard layout to the Swedish one. I've used the Amercian one once or twice, almost all letters are att the exact same postions, apart from some special characters like the slash (/) which is on SHIFT+7. 'Cause on the Swedish keyboards, the letters Å, Ä, and Ö all exist as a seperate button)) I've switched the keyboard layout virtually so I can type in Russian, потому что я учу русский язык, так что хочу писать на русском, когда сижу за компьютером
whoa! i didn't think of that (my home computer is a mac with easier accent keys, so i'd resigned myself to having trouble forever on the windows computer at work). just tried it, det är så lätt nu!! thanks :)
My mom is lways FORCING ME outside, but my two sisters love beeing outside, so did all my aunts and ukles, my cousins and my grandparents. So I Guess I am the only one;)) Well, most Norwegians love the outdoors though, just ot me, BC I discovered books. Sorry fot my bad English I am writing on computer so :))
The Norwegians in my family were sad when my Swedish family married one of their relatives. This was because the Norwegians were all bleach blonde. And the Swedes had darker hair ( that could possibly turn blond) they basically thought we were ruining there thousand year Norwegian Reich. But, alas I am one of those pesky Swedes who is product of the ruined idea. ( I have darker hair like all the Swedes, that sometimes looks blonde) Also the Norwegians still use the Swedish jokes from like the 80's 😬
That is kind of strange as Swedes always have stricken me as more blond than Norwegians. Having had a long and more exposed coastline than our dear neighbours further east always exposed "us" to more trade with southern Europe and more intermarriage in previous times.
That's not true. You can even look up statistical maps for blond hair. Swedes have traditionally had more blondes and blue eyes than Norway, although if I remember right Norway has higher prevalence of red hair. Anyway these days the statistics changed a bit, probably due to all of our immigration, so now Finland is in the top when it comes to blond hair!!
the baltic countries are actually the most blonde. But even with mixing, blondes will never disappear. not that it matters in the slightest anyway. Dangerous way of thinking
Some random observations from a Norwegian about Swedes both positive an negative: 1) Swedes much better at service. Swedes working in stores facing customers tend to do a better job than Norwegians. They act friendlier and more professional. Actually I think Swedes are the only ethnic minority anywhere which get positive discrimination. Like Norwegian bosses will often prefer hiring the Swede over the Norwegian. 2) Swedes seem like sticklers for rules. Now Scandinavians in general are probably a lot more into following the rules than people elsewhere (except for Germans I guess ;-)), however I think Norwegians are a bit more anarchist than Swedes. We tend to disregard rules we find stupid. The joke here is that if you can't see any car as far as the eye can see and there is a guy waiting patiently by the pedestrian crossing for a green light, then that person must be a Swede. 3) Swedish companies have more hierarchy and respect hierarchy more. OTOH Swedes are more into having democratic discussion where everybody is heard. I remember watching Swedish TV as a teenager that they had more shows in Sweden where there was these long philosophically bent discussions. I think that was kind of cool, and points to Sweden being a bit more of a civilized country. Norway is probably a bit more quick and dirty and without much respect for either hierarchy authority. 4) Political correctness. While we are PC in Norway it seem even more so in Sweden to the point of driving Norwegians nuts at times. It seems like in Swede everybody has to declare themselves feminist. Although I guess we Norwegians can smugly claim that we are already on our 2nd female prime minister. In fact the present 3-party coalition in Norway today is headed by 3 women. I must say I was very impressed by what a warm welcome Sweden gave refugees. Swedes have big hearts but I fear Sweden might have overdone it this last time and made a lot of problems for themselves. 5) I LOVE the Swedish language!! It sounds so cute and it is so melodic. Songs sound so good in Swedish and Sweden has much stronger song and music traditions than us for some reason. I love going around talking Swedish at home but it annoys my kids.
Sweden still has a nobility. That may explain some of the things you observe. Norwegians have been free farmers and fishermen for several hundred years. We do not bow to anyone but the King, but the question is whether we will bow to the next king.
I Think they are super....det är klart jag gillar både NORGE och norska folket...tråkigt det som har hänt jag hoppas man hittar folk i rasmassorna. Själv tänker jag att nordiska länderna måste göra mer tillsammans och vi har mycket gemensamt.
Not only swedes think that the Norwegian language is cute. I'm from Germany, and there are some words you only can say "aaaw" and cuddle the one who said it. 😍 I really love Norwegian.
hey i was told by a swedisch girl that norwegian is just a lazy version of danish but norwegians dont like to hear this fact :D but to hear that they sound so sweet is soooooo cute. have to go there after corona . greetz from germany :D
Quite a gree with you! I have a norwegian friend who I have been known for 8 years! They talk like a birdy jumping on the roof, so fast and happy! Norwegian sounds close to Swedish and written like Danish haha. And I have learnt both the language for a bit, and I was so amazed by some differences especially when I came to learn Svenska after I knew a bit norwegian haha those Swedish accent and intonation makes the language sounds hard and sharp! And I always hear some swede friends talk about the hare and älg across the border😝
My father is half Norwegian, half Swedish. I’m Australian. I never met either grandparent and I’ve never been to either country and speak neither. But, Dad made sure that we did the food! Krumkake, smultringer, lefse, pinnekjott, kotbullar, akvavit, knackebrod with gravlax and sour cream.....yum! I still haven’t had “stinky fish”. I also hit the local Ikea restaurant at least once a month- love that dill mustard. I often wonder if I would be eligible for citizenship?
Interesting! I'm enjoying getting in touch with my Scandinavian roots. My grandparents were Swedish and Norwegian. Rumor has it that my great grandfather was Oscar Dickson"s illegitimate first son.
To be honest, you summoned that up pretty well . I 've also lived in Norway and basically these "expectations" are not stereotypical, but very much true,. Also Norwegians love making fun of us swedes, calling us stupid and pretty naive. Yep, heard a lot of swedish jokes when I lived in Norway :/ haha
Something my grandmother always used to say to her Swedish grandma friend was ‘Svenskefaen’, of course, she never actually disliked her or Swedes in general lol 😂
Jo, och svenskar säger ju ofta "danskjävlar". Jag hör väldigt sällan kritik av norrmän från svenskar, faktiskt. Mer förr när Sverige var bättre på skidor (på manssidan.)...
As Spanish person I can tell you that we have an Spanish idiom in our language which it says "No te hagas el sueco" o "Hacerse el sueco". It means that you are ignoring what I am saying or talking to you. For example. If I have a conversation with you and I ask you money. You don't want to lend me the money but you don't want to say to me directly No,. Then you change the conversation as if you have never heard what I asked you. Then "te estás haciendo el sueco".
Interesting. As a Norwegian, I can tell you that in Norway we say that we "tar en spansk en/take a Spanish one" when we find a slightly rude or easy solution to something. The Norwegian writer Kjell Ivar Vannebo believes that the expression originates from the maritime era. When loading or unloading the barges, different types of hoists were used. The simplest form of hoist was a single rope through a fixed eye. This hoist is called in English Spanish windlass (Spanish hoist), and simple solutions like this may have given rise to the expression "a Spanish one".

good it warms my heart
There is nothing called "Norwegian American", either they're Norwegian or they are not.
I don't become a "Norwegian Swede" by moving to Sweden and have a child with another Norwegian, the child will have dual citizenship and I'll still be a Norwegian living in Sweden, just like your grandparents are just Norwegians living in America.
Puro naa i would aay norwegian american
Puro Norwegian Americans are Americans of Norwegian descent, and there are more Norwegian Americans than ethnic Norwegians, so it certainly is a thing.
Dual citizenship isn't a thing in norway.. Only really special cases.
Norwegian joke about swedes. There are 3 swedes in the wild. They find tracks. One swede says "oh it's Elk tracks", the other swede says "no, no it's reindeer tracks", the other swede gets killed by a train. It's train tracks lol.
John C why did the norwegian bring a cardoor out to the desert? So he could roll down the Windows incase i'd be too hot

Just came back from a vacation to both countries. I hardly knew anything about either one, that's why i took the trip, and came back in love with both countries. Norway is a little harder to enjoy considering its just so expensive. Stockholm has a new place in my heart. People are so light hearted, caring and respectful of eachother. Not sure if it was just that they are so happy to see summer arrive but I just got the feeling that they are very happy people in general. It was a wonderful trip and I'm going to save my $ to get back there again.
hahaha, I love those made up words, I need to remember them. I love the friendly banter between Scandinavian countries. Have you seen the NRK sketch "kamelloso"? It's about a Norwegian trying to talk with a Danish shopkeeper.
venom2k2 That sketch is sooooo funny!
+venom2k2 Yes! I remember it being hilarious :D
Did you order a 1000 liter of milk?

Kinda feel like swedes lowkey hates us tho 😂
Nejdå, jag har bott i Norge och kan säga att jag trivdes väldigt bra :)
Norway is actually the country most Swedes like the most out of any other Scandinavian country.
Swedes love norwegians! We, aswell as our neighbours, just like to joke about each other! XD
Nah man, the only country that Sweden hates is Denmark. Maybe Finland as well but I'm of the impression that they look down on them rather than hate them.
I don't think many Swedes hate Danes anymore :O Personally I like them just as much as I like Norwegians. I think it's just harder to relate to Danes because we can't really understand their language very well. I have a small problem with the Finns if anything. They seem to hate us Swedes and leave a lot of aggressive comments on the internet. Also when I have visited Finland they just seem very quiet and look angry too. They don't seem like the kinda people to happily greet their neighbors or really care about customer service etc. I don't think this about all Finnish people, there are still a lot of them that seem really normal and nice.
Aww! Wow that’s not all that bad. I thought you’d say swedes hate us 😂
Nah, we secretly love little brother Norway. Hush, dont tell anyone, it's a secret.
I love the fun bantering and humor that you guys all have never noticed any other countries that have such a great rapport and get along so well
My friend and I always imitate our neighbours, he always imitates Danes and I imitate Norwegians. And when I pretend to speak Norwegian I just speak Swedish but I exaggerate the intonations of sentences and I end words often on E (example: Svenske instead of Svenska) or if the word ends with an N, I remove the vowel before the N (Example: BussN instead of Bussen) oh and I put a lot of emphases on the N sound. Last things I never pronounce G as an J anywhere so Norje becomes to Norge plus I often change the O to a Ö and A to Ä, so it's Nörge.
As for my friend, all he does is just sound mad and pretend he has a potato in his mouth. And no joke, it sounds like Danish.
Something you could do to sound more Norwegian is to say "Jeg" pronounced as "Jej" as well as when you say the names of languages, skip the a at the end. Like svenska becomes svensk, norska becomes norsk. Also, instead of saying the word "pratar" always say "snackar" (or "snakkar" as it is in Norwegian) Oh, and reverse the word order when talking in the genitve form, as an example: Swedish: "Det är min bror" Norwegian: "Det er broren min" (Always put the noun in the definite form) Norwegian: *"Hei, jeg snakker norsk nå, og jeg vil bare berätte att Sven er broren min"*
The bold text isn't actual Norwegian I think, it's a mix between Norwegian and Swedish. And Swedish words made to sound more Norwegian.
The first one is so true for me, they sound freaking adorable.
In Denmark we can't get mad at Norwegians either, because of their cute language :) Swedes tends to have an all together different view of the Danish language - our pronounciation is the subject of much ridicule! ;) :P But no worries, we poke fun at the swedes too - actually more so, than the norwegians. Good to to see that the old animosity has turned into friendly neighbouring banter :) Talking about languages - here's a icelandic comedian on the Nordic languages: ua-cam.com/video/OSacz4GHQjs/v-deo.html

Hahah great video!
I'm from Norway and this was a fun video to watch :) it wasn't rude just funny and informative which is nice :)
And it's true that both countries have stupid jokes about the other, our jokes about Sweden are usually about stupidity or blondes...
Love that you had the "ut på tur, aldri sur" because that is such a common thing to say here in Norway. Also fun to learn you call us Brisk :D in our defense we need to learn to enjoy bad weather or we would never leave the house as it can rain quite a lot :P
Common things about Norway that u didn't add but often hear:
- Norwegians are born with skiis on their feet
- vikings, trolls and moose
- Lillehamar eventyrland, seriously google this one so under appreciated kid fairytales park
Great video :) curious what Sweden think of Norway as a country and Norway the people :) also curious about what a Sweden is like for someone who lives there :) what does an average day look like vs a year in Sweden?
Sunny, lots of cars or bicycles, maybe cats everywhere like I saw in Crete, seriously up to 7 cats outside almost every hotel around xD share things we wouldn't know unless you lived there :)

we all do that u sound so happy lol maybe u dont hear that bcuz its different when u speak the language like i dont know what my language swedish rly soundslike
I think Swedish sounds happy
@@fozze9456 To most Norwegians, Swedish sounds sweet, innocent and like “summer”. I can’t really explain it😅.
Omg HAHAH, those "Norwegian words" are hilarious! As a Norwegian I would never have guessed what those words are supposed to be (except for "kjempetorsk" which just sound like a very large fish), but they are hilarious anyways!
And I hate skiing btw, and the winter in general.. I just love the christmas and having a white christmas with lots of snow outside (its so cozy).
But something that is funny about our people is that we are always complaining about the weather (not all of us of course, but lets just face it all Norwegians; we complain a lot!). Yes we do have the expression "ut på tur, aldri sur", but in the reality its always like "aww its raining, I want warmth and sun!" or "omg this heat is killing me, I need some rain now!" or "omg its so cold, can't it be summer and sun soon..!?", and the complaints goes on and on. But I guess thats just part of our culture..? Is that a thing in Sweden and/or Denmark too?
As for Sweden, absolutely!! Winter is too cold, summer is to rainy, and spring and autumn should just make up their mind. Not even good weather is good weather😂 Though, I’m not sure if it is actually that bad or if we are just too picky😅
I love it when he said "jeg skall drepe deg" and its so true they always sounds so sweet I would know cause I'm Norwegian 🇳🇴
Vi sier også ¨ut på tur aldri sur¨ i norge :) En annen ting vi sier (som er steriotypisk norsk) er ¨Det finnes ikke dårlig vær, bare dårlig klær¨

My Dad came from Sweden to Canada in 1923 . My Mom's Dad was from Norway Great wonderful people Canada was very lucky to get thousands of these people Danish too and Finnish
Being part swedish (most of my family is in Sweden, which i visit regularly) so I know about many of the typical conceptions of being norwegian in their eyes. Whenever you are in Sweden, or hear a Swede talk about Norway on television aso, they are quick to bring up the oil, and the idea that norwegians are so much richer than swedes. This needs a bit of a elaboration. What most swedes forget is that they too is one of the riches countries of the world, if you think pro capital. Until 2009 Sweden has always had a larger, by far, GDP than Norway. The main reason that we was bigger in this particular year was the financial crisis. Since our economy rely more on planned economy, where the State is a large owner and contributor and important allocation-decisions are made by government authorities and are imposed by law. The large portion of swedes coming to Norway to find work after 2009 is mainly because Sweden was much harder ridden by the financial situation after this year. If you look upon the year before, in 2008, the story is very different. In this year sweden had a GDP of 315,5 billion dollars, while Norway had 307,9 billion dollars.
So the swedes may very well try to portray themself as a "poor" country, but in fact they are stinking rich. The swedish economy is about 25 % larger than our, but since there is twice as many swedes than norwegians, we are richer when it comes to pro capita.
In the 1970s Norway's GDP was one third of what Sweden earned, so the rich Norway is somewhat of a new thing. But one can add that our healthcare system, the general welfare state system is something that was developed long before our country became rich. I am saying this because most swedes will point at the oil to explain our financial situation, but also this is in need of an elaboration. Only around 15 % of Norway's GDP comes from the oil. For one we probably have a better financial system than Sweden, we are bigger on raw material and Sweden has gotten a bigger competitor with new rising economies in Asia, like China and India, since the swedes have relied largely on engineering industry. As an example, the car companies in Sweden, Saab went bankrupt and Volvo was sold to the chinese. The same growing economies has had a huge demand for oil.
But the main objection is that there is not really a great difference between Norway and Sweden, when it comes to conditions for the single inhabitant. The Uns, Human Development Report
who try to say something about difference in prosperity between different countries. In the so-called HDI index, calculated here, GDP per capita. The value of HDI was the highest in Norway in 2011, as in the year before. Then Australia and the Netherlands followed, while Sweden reached 10th place, which is quite a good position. The report also include income probability, Norway is still at its peak. Sweden picks up to third place as a result of a significantly more even distribution of income than countries such as the United States and Germany. And when gender inequality is also included, Sweden tops the UN ranking, while Norway falls down to 6th place. But the calculations of the UN indicate that, in addition to higher consumption, and somewhat higher unemployment, Sweden may be as well-established as Norway today.
In very many countries with weak institutions and with the help of powerful multinational companies, natural resource wealth does not benefit the general population, but only to the few. This has not happened in Norway where the oil wealth has been transformed into sort of a "saving account" abroad. For the time being large state owned companies like Equinor (formerly Statoil) a started the transition for a more green economy, less depended of Oil. This is an important aspect, since many of the richest countries in the World, like the US, has a large portion of their citizens living in poverty. So, it is not always about GDP, but how the finances are equally shares with the general population .
You guys actually have some pretty precise stereotypes of us, especially the outdoors stuff! We have a saying here in Norway "det finnes ikke dårlig vær, bare dårlig klær" roughly translated to "there is no such thing as bad weather, only improper clothing".
A swedish man walked in the desart with a car door then he puled up the window saying it's so cold here
You meant hot or?🤣
I've never known a Swede, but one of my oldest friends was Norwegian. It's true that she loved the out-of-doors and really good food. We shared a fondness for potatoes, too. She did speak of the Scandinavian rivalries and had some funny descriptions of the various stereotypes.
Damn you nailed that "Ut på tur aldri sur" coming from a norwegian :D
I just started watching Skam, and I'm at the very beginning of season 3 now. I'm German, but I can speak Swedish a bit, and it's pretty cool to see that I can translate most of the texts (e.g. messages or websites) in the show, even though I've never learnt any Norwegian. :D

If you poll Americans, when they hear "Swedish" they think of Swedish Cheif (Muppets), Ikea, Volvos, Swedish fish (candy), and Swedish meatballs. Mmmm Swedish meatballs. Some even mistaken Swiss for Sweden... I do not know why. Most Americans do not usually think about the Swedes. They do not even give you the option to learn Swedish in most Colleges/Universities. I love the Swedish culture and wish there was more Swedish love over here.

We in Spain use a very frequent expression for someone who leaves the place without doing something that is assigned to her or him, ej. work, house work, any kind of task,( pretending he/she didn´t know) or also pretending he or she don´t understand something, but knowing that the person is aware of that. WE say ( no te hagas el Sueco) it means, don´t pretend to be Swedish, don´t play Swedish. The point is, you ask to the spaniards the origin of that expression nobody know .
Have you heard about the Swedish guy that went to college?
Me neither😶

Anyone else thinks danish sound like Norwegian with a potato stuck in your throat?
random girl Danish sounds like a drunk Norwegian chocking on a potato. (No offense to the Danish 😂)
so true
random girl norwegian I think is norse combined with written danish and the tone of swedish. (Not strange since Norway have been ruled by both countries😊). Best countries ever❤️
One stereotype that a lot of swedes have about Norway is that everyone is nice there lol. To us Norway is like the Canada of Scandinavia, I guess you could say. I think this derives from that Norwegians always sound happy and therefor we make the connection that you're very friendly too.
We Are brothers hi little brother how is The skiing going? We do The Same to You haha
I love that video because of that language and way how you speak. Cheers mate
one thing about norwegian that's better than swedish (in the written language only!) is they have fewer accents on the letters and they have phonetic spelling haha. when i type in swedish i'll cheat sometimes and use norwegian spelling to avoid the complicated accent keystrokes (on the US keyboard)
Why don't you just google how to change your keyboard layout to the Swedish one. I've used the Amercian one once or twice, almost all letters are att the exact same postions, apart from some special characters like the slash (/) which is on SHIFT+7. 'Cause on the Swedish keyboards, the letters Å, Ä, and Ö all exist as a seperate button))
I've switched the keyboard layout virtually so I can type in Russian, потому что я учу русский язык, так что хочу писать на русском, когда сижу за компьютером
whoa! i didn't think of that (my home computer is a mac with easier accent keys, so i'd resigned myself to having trouble forever on the windows computer at work). just tried it, det är så lätt nu!!
thanks :)
Best solution is buy a Swedish layout keyboard and then change windows international settings for keyboard from US to Sweden.
i virtually changed keyboard layout so i can change fast between Norwegian, Russian and Gregorian. It is for trolling purposes.

The Norwegians in my family were sad when my Swedish family married one of their relatives. This was because the Norwegians were all bleach blonde. And the Swedes had darker hair ( that could possibly turn blond) they basically thought we were ruining there thousand year Norwegian Reich. But, alas I am one of those pesky Swedes who is product of the ruined idea. ( I have darker hair like all the Swedes, that sometimes looks blonde) Also the Norwegians still use the Swedish jokes from like the 80's 😬
wtf!!
That is kind of strange as Swedes always have stricken me as more blond than Norwegians. Having had a long and more exposed coastline than our dear neighbours further east always exposed "us" to more trade with southern Europe and more intermarriage in previous times.
That's not true. You can even look up statistical maps for blond hair. Swedes have traditionally had more blondes and blue eyes than Norway, although if I remember right Norway has higher prevalence of red hair. Anyway these days the statistics changed a bit, probably due to all of our immigration, so now Finland is in the top when it comes to blond hair!!
the baltic countries are actually the most blonde. But even with mixing, blondes will never disappear. not that it matters in the slightest anyway. Dangerous way of thinking
@@cherryblossom789
Why is it dangerous to think that blond people should survive? Are you afraid of your inner Nazi?
nice video, i'm from norway and what you said in that video was very accurat ;D
Some random observations from a Norwegian about Swedes both positive an negative:
1) Swedes much better at service. Swedes working in stores facing customers tend to do a better job than Norwegians. They act friendlier and more professional. Actually I think Swedes are the only ethnic minority anywhere which get positive discrimination. Like Norwegian bosses will often prefer hiring the Swede over the Norwegian.
2) Swedes seem like sticklers for rules. Now Scandinavians in general are probably a lot more into following the rules than people elsewhere (except for Germans I guess ;-)), however I think Norwegians are a bit more anarchist than Swedes. We tend to disregard rules we find stupid. The joke here is that if you can't see any car as far as the eye can see and there is a guy waiting patiently by the pedestrian crossing for a green light, then that person must be a Swede.
3) Swedish companies have more hierarchy and respect hierarchy more. OTOH Swedes are more into having democratic discussion where everybody is heard. I remember watching Swedish TV as a teenager that they had more shows in Sweden where there was these long philosophically bent discussions. I think that was kind of cool, and points to Sweden being a bit more of a civilized country. Norway is probably a bit more quick and dirty and without much respect for either hierarchy authority.
4) Political correctness. While we are PC in Norway it seem even more so in Sweden to the point of driving Norwegians nuts at times. It seems like in Swede everybody has to declare themselves feminist. Although I guess we Norwegians can smugly claim that we are already on our 2nd female prime minister. In fact the present 3-party coalition in Norway today is headed by 3 women. I must say I was very impressed by what a warm welcome Sweden gave refugees. Swedes have big hearts but I fear Sweden might have overdone it this last time and made a lot of problems for themselves.
5) I LOVE the Swedish language!! It sounds so cute and it is so melodic. Songs sound so good in Swedish and Sweden has much stronger song and music traditions than us for some reason. I love going around talking Swedish at home but it annoys my kids.
Sweden still has a nobility. That may explain some of the things you observe. Norwegians have been free farmers and fishermen for several hundred years. We do not bow to anyone but the King, but the question is whether we will bow to the next king.
thank you so much for this! ive always wondered what the swedish people thought about us!

Quite a gree with you! I have a norwegian friend who I have been known for 8 years! They talk like a birdy jumping on the roof, so fast and happy! Norwegian sounds close to Swedish and written like Danish haha. And I have learnt both the language for a bit, and I was so amazed by some differences especially when I came to learn Svenska after I knew a bit norwegian haha those Swedish accent and intonation makes the language sounds hard and sharp! And I always hear some swede friends talk about the hare and älg across the border😝
My father is half Norwegian, half Swedish. I’m Australian. I never met either grandparent and I’ve never been to either country and speak neither. But, Dad made sure that we did the food!

I also hit the local Ikea restaurant at least once a month- love that dill mustard. I often wonder if I would be eligible for citizenship?
One of my classmates is half norwegian and he has a shirt that has “Ut på tur, aldri sur” written on it😂 I’m from Denmark btw.

Interesting! I'm enjoying getting in touch with my Scandinavian roots. My grandparents were Swedish and Norwegian. Rumor has it that my great grandfather was Oscar Dickson"s illegitimate first son.
To be honest, you summoned that up pretty well . I 've also lived in Norway and basically these "expectations" are not stereotypical, but very much true,. Also Norwegians love making fun of us swedes, calling us stupid and pretty naive. Yep, heard a lot of swedish jokes when I lived in Norway :/ haha
Lol, you are absolutely right. This is the funniest thing every body agreed with.
this is absolutely great omg
I'm glad swedish people think our language is cute~ (I find that cute haha)
Something my grandmother always used to say to her Swedish grandma friend was ‘Svenskefaen’, of course, she never actually disliked her or Swedes in general lol 😂
Jo, och svenskar säger ju ofta "danskjävlar". Jag hör väldigt sällan kritik av norrmän från svenskar, faktiskt. Mer förr när Sverige var bättre på skidor (på manssidan.)...
That first one made me realy happy, im Norwegian btw
Im a Norwegian, and i met 2 Swedish guys on holiday and they asked me if we can banana gulebøy x) I laughed so hard haha
As Spanish person I can tell you that we have an Spanish idiom in our language which it says "No te hagas el sueco" o "Hacerse el sueco". It means that you are ignoring what I am saying or talking to you. For example. If I have a conversation with you and I ask you money. You don't want to lend me the money but you don't want to say to me directly No,. Then you change the conversation as if you have never heard what I asked you. Then "te estás haciendo el sueco".
Interesting. As a Norwegian, I can tell you that in Norway we say that we "tar en spansk en/take a Spanish one" when we find a slightly rude or easy solution to something.
The Norwegian writer Kjell Ivar Vannebo believes that the expression originates from the maritime era. When loading or unloading the barges, different types of hoists were used. The simplest form of hoist was a single rope through a fixed eye. This hoist is called in English Spanish windlass (Spanish hoist), and simple solutions like this may have given rise to the expression "a Spanish one".

i am norwegian, and i find this hilarious. :-).
