- As an American there are so many things about Norwegian culture that I have never learned about. Today I am very excited to react to this funny and informative video about the different parts of Norwegian culture and how it is different to the United States. If you enjoyed the video feel free to leave a comment, like, or subscribe for more!
And yes in Norway, we love irony and sarcasm, why many foreigners doesn't undertstand our humour. Especially dark humour.
Oh yeah man, there's a lot of Americans who think Norway is the capitol of Sweden. I've seen and heard it many times. Some Americans need to Google Norway because they never heard of it before. It's crazy.
I love that we are widening our horizons with fantastic cuisine like frozen pizza and hot dogs, while still enjoying fish and potatoes. It's us norwegians appreciating the ways of the world while still keeping our treasured traditions😅. Great reaction, Tyler❤
kicking hat's off sticks is part of a dance called halling dance, it's to show the woman how athletic and healthy you are and almost do some breakdancing moves ( not quite ) and other complicated dancing moves. there's also regular dancing
Called Hallingdans since it originates(?) in Hallingdal (The Halling Valley) :)
It's a folk dance. (Just adding to what you said)
We should teach him about rævkrok 🤣
Blåruss are often students who specialize in economics, or students who study sales, service and tourism.
Rødruss are traditionally students who have taken a study preparation program at upper secondary school.
Svartruss are often students who take vocational education programs at upper secondary school.
Grønnruss are students who take subjects in nature management.
-Blåruss= Blue russ
-Rødruss = Red russ
-svartruss = Black russ
-Grønnruss = Green russ
Don't forget pink russ, the kindergarten kids.
The overalls of the Russ can be Red, Blue, Green or Black. And, historically, the colour you would wear was based on what line you had gone in highschool
as a norwegian, i can say that this is really accurate.
As a norwegian this is the circle of Norway life.
I spent a year in the US. The amount of times I've heard "thats in Sweden, right?" or my favorite: "Which stats is that in?" is ridiculous...
Great fun to watch your reaction to this video. Now try to imagine those baby's coming out from their mothers wearing their ski's 😂😂😂
About frozen bread.......
If you put a couple of frozen slices of bread (with for example fresh cheese, ham and bell pepper on it) in your "matpakke"
It will be thawed by the time you're gonna eat it.... and will be "fresher"
Only frozen slices of bread though.... nothing else frozen....
The "matpakke" will keep fresh longer. And no, it will not be soggy. 🙂
Freshly baked loaves of bread are being frozen in slices. when you defrost the bread again, it is as fresh as when it was baked. Of course, if you don't leave it in the freezer way too long.
If you are in north norway snow activities are more normal, down in the south not everywhere is covered in snow, but getting your kids out to play no matter the weather is a big thing in norway
Oh I've heard several Americans think that Norway is just a city in Sweden.
Have seen American news reporters covering the Nobel peace prize in Oslo, claiming to be located in Sweden
As a Norwegian having traveled abroad a lot, at least up until the last 10 years or so, I've encountered numerous people thinking Norway is the capitol of Sweden.
I’m a Norwegian in the UK. Lots of people here believe Norway is the capital of Sweden.
As a norwegian i can confirm that i was froced to love skiing
I remember my old teacher went to a doctor in the US. He thought Norway was a city in Germany😭
I saw your video on famous Norwegians,and
the music in the video is by Edvard Grieg,
"I Dovregubbens hall" ("In the hall of the mountain king/In the Dovre man's hall").
I am a norwegian, and Grandiosa suck, in the ads they are always like: now with a even more thinner crust. It taste like cardboard.
FYI: Russ can have 4 colors. Red,Blue,Green and Black. Green and Black are very rare these days.
The colors represent the different educations the students have graduated in. Red is General Education, Blue is Business & Economics, Green is Agriculture and Black is Vocational Subjects
Most hotdogs are made using pork. Reindeer hotdogs are a speciality and expensive. Most are made using pork and beef. Other varieties include lamb, goat, deer and moose.
The frozen bread might be a bit old. The bread is bought or baked in batches and frozen.
We eat it thawed 😂 but it has been frozen. 😊
My Swedish interpretation of the whole thing was that the sandwiches were frozen in the backpack during the ski trip? It also happens.
Æ = a in bass
Ø = sounds like the i in bird
Å = the o in fork
These words have a similar pronunciation to the letters
Bass? It's not at all like in "bass".
"Had" or "mad" is the correct sound. I think you may say "bass" wrong in English... (it's "beys" (for you))

- Actually, '@karebear7149' is technically not wrong here.
Yes, if you are thinking about the frequency range or class of sound, if you will, then you are totally correct.
But don't forget about the fish, 'BASS' is in most dialects or accents pronounced "BÆSS".
Maybe it's just me, but I've found that 'Æ', 'Ø' and 'Å' are very common sounds in 'British-English' compared to f.e. 'American-English'.
Of course, that is highly dependent on the different regional dialects, 'cause they can vary greatly.
The same can be said for 'Canadian-English', 'Australian-English' and 'New Zealand-English', especially 'Australian-English'.
Not to forget the obvious accent difference between all the named countries to begin with, but some of their dialects sound a bit boneless to my ears.

Just recently found an old family photo album.
I had wooden skis (with Rottefella (Telemark) binding) and can't be older than 5 and we're in the mountains. :)
Perfect narrator for that video as well, because that is the archetypical Norwegian accent. :)
I had forgotten that video, but recognized it immediately.
It’s all true, I swear!
Blue Russ is for economics-oriented education, while red is just the regular.
Thats how it typically was. Nowadays, people just choose whatever color they want to, regardless of their subjects.
well not anymore, now you can buy which colour you want, which is ruining it
Norway is on the top of the statistics when it comes to one night stands. We even have a yearly dedicated party theme about getting blind drunk and having one night stands with people we normally wouldn't socialize with. It's called "julebord" and you should see if you find any videos about it. Very fascinating subject.
Julebord is not dedicated to getting drunk and having one night stands, it is a christmas tradition, often held by work or family.
But i can see how some might end up really drunk and with a one night stand, but hopefully not at a family gathering..
@@grayspirit5779 seff handler det om å bli drita og pule.
Er like norsk som lutefisk og gravlaks
This is really the one video everyone needs to watch if you want to learn about Norway 😂
Russ is not just red and blue, we also have blackruss, greenruss, and the extremely rare whiteruss, it all depends on what you graduate in.
F.ex. greenruss is farming and such, whereas red and blue is the most popular because of the education.
Two days a week: friday and Saturday probably, cause we only drink on the weekends
05:33
There are the following colored Russ:
Blue: These are the students that study commerce at school, going for a specialization in economy.
Red: These are students that study general subjects.
Black: These are students that study vocational subjects.
Green: These are students that study agriculture and nature use.
Aside from those four, there seems to also be two more colors you can achieve through doing various tasks needed to acquire knots on your hat's tassel cord:
Silver: Acquire 50 different knots on your hat's tassel cord.
Gold: Acquire 70 different knots on your hat's tassel cord.
In Haugesund where I studied, each Highschool is a certain color, and all the Red Schools has Wars against the Blue Schools.
I studied Build-Up for College when I graduated, and my School was Blue 💙
There's Pink Russ in the Kindergarten, and Orange Russ in Secondary Schools.
Used to be White Russ from Sport Schools too
When you saw the Rybak Eurovision song, I noticed you missed this, but there the dancers kicked hats of sticks as they performed a slightly modernized form of traditional Norwegian folk dance.
Classic video, remember it from literally over a decade ago
hehe the bread frezz due to the cold walking to school
It's wrong that 17th of May is the Day of Independence, it's the Day of Constitution.
I can't believe that a Norwegian says that May 17 is our independence day.....
May 17 is our Constitution Day!!
Norway got its own constitution on May 17, 1814
But Norway continued to be part of the Swedish Union until June 7 1905
May 17 is Norway's national day
But unlike most countries in the world that celebrate their independence day, in Norway we celebrate the date our Constitution was signed.
I'm pretty sure that the vast majority of Norwegians don't even know that June 7 is Norway's Independence Day
A fun digression -
June 07 1905 Norway became independent after being in Union with Sweden
This day is not celebrated in any way in Norway - BUT June 07 is Sweden's national day
17. May is constitution day, not independence day.
04:47 That is pretty much exactly how you pronounce them, yeah. The only thing you should remove is the "e" right before he says the "Æ," I think he was hesitating very briefly on how to say "Æ" and somehow started with an "e" before deciding to just say them in Norwegian.
that "e" may be an "er" in his accent, "is/are" in english. He struggles a little bit with saying them while still in english mode before fully code switching to norwegian there
Russ has many colors and everyone argues what is the real Russ depends on your school and your education length and your carer education
08:52 Friday evening after work, and Saturday, or Saturday and Sunday, or for the real partygoers, Friday evening after work to - and including - Sunday.
you also have pink "russ" (5 year old kindergarden kids), red and blue and black "russ" too
All municipalities has their own bunad.
12:52 that’s wrong, we also have solid and liquid bread
The bread is frozen because it's in your backpack and the weather is mostly below freezing when skiing:-)
It can be black and green too ^^
We have black and white Russ too
I’m Norwegian and I hate skiing 😂
Russ traditionally have 3 colors depending on what type of education you’re taking: red, blue and black. But now days you can choose even if you’re not a red Russ, to be red instead of blue or black Russ.
About frozen bread. I understand it as a half joke to show how tough Norwegian children are. There is infact truth to it as older generation of Norwegians can ralate to tough times under Nazi-Germany occupation and a decade after war has ended. That's probably where the story of frozen bread comes from is my guess.
Day three of asking you to take a norwegian language course
Norway has something that Sweden doesn't have, good neighbors. LOL
🤣🤣🤣
As a Norwegian, i found it funny, but horribly inaccurate. Every thing he mentioned will get misunderstood, unless you know enough about Norway and it's history, from before. I am relieved that you actually understood a good deal of it.
In norway male and female have bunad and the bunad is different from where you com from
funny video, love it, but now there are enough kindergardens for all children, they have a rigth to get a place when they are 1 year 😃
And most Americans I have gotten in contact with don't know where Norway is, nor the name of our capital city. They only know Sweden, or Germany... and guess it's around there. I wouldn't expect anything more tbh.
damn, i wish there were some Norwegian Black Metal in this...
Fish Tacos are amazing 🤩 Fry some Salmon, and slice it up, and use in tortillas instead of minced meat.
Also, fries as Pizza topping is underrated! 😂
Yet the huge irnony and paradox is that Norwegians didn't invent skiing (cross country), the indiegnous Sami did. Even the Romans and Greeks documented this fact, and the Sami was known for it. So of course the vikings just ''appropriated'' it, and somehow Norway has become the originators.
Early historical evidence includes Procopius' (around CE 550) description of Sami people as skrithiphinoi (or skridfinns) translated as "ski running samis" (Sami people were commonly referred to as Finn). Birkely argues that the Sami people have practiced skiing for more than 6000 years, evidenced by the very old Sami word čuoigat for skiing. Paulus Diaconus mentioned what may have been Sami and described how they chased animals by a twisted piece of wood that they painstakingly shaped to resemble a bow.
The Sami also invented the “traditional” skii bindings as well. No wonder as the 1st Viking queen of a united “Norway” was Sami.
Finally you watch a video not full of errors.
Do you eat frozen bread?
@@steinarhaugen7617 It most likely has been frozen, yes
@@steinarhaugen7617 Children do half of the year when their matpakke is frozen by the time they arrive. This is due to the pathetic Norwegian school system where there is not offered any food at school. I heard their hotels are not offering beds either. You have to rent a mattress. To get all your food you also need to visit at least three specialty stores - well unless your cuisine compares to the middle ages. This is the typical Norwegian way of not combining services that belong together. It goes through the whole of society as a red wire. This stupidity is everywhere.
Most Norwegians doesn’t eat fish and potatoes anymore. Old people yes.
Bare du som e fra pudding norge
Shek out Viggo venn britain's got talen😂
The men also wear mail bunad. They can't wear a woman's bunad. So their bunader match in color and design and style.
How about reacting to things in Sweden? 😁🥰
nei😝👻
The man is wearing the male version on a Vestfold Bunad for men.
you also have black "russ"
...and white as well...
@@steinarhaugen7617 White, and green hardly count ... cause of how uncommon they are or something but. Red, Blue, and Black is school system based colours to where Blue is medical ones, red one is "almenfag" and black is "yrkefag / mechanical" with 2 or 3 years of school at VGs
I suck at skiiing, dont like hiking fish or potatoes. Hope i dont get exiled now "/
For reintegration, you are now on the top of the list for "Farmen", "71° nord" and "Kompani Lauritzen, winter edition". Those realityshows will fix you in about a year😉

That is a norwegian accent.
You are not a typichal average american, you know where is and you are obsesst , you even starts to look norwegian . when moving over here ? you are welcome
Very exaggerated.
This was fun. But you should not really take it serius. There is much sarcasm and exaggeration here. Even a few downright falsehoods. I feel this will just confuse you Tyler.

- Tyler is fully aware of the fact that this video was not to be taken very seriously...
He even said so in his own words at the start of the video.
We love taking the piss out of ourselves, which is pretty evident from this video that Tyler just reacted to today.

Much more wins today, oh my God, I'm really happy for today☺️😳. I finally got my profit of $70,000 on this crypto investment after feeling so escatic and heavy minded that nothing good can come out of it
I'm pretty new and feel I have much to learn, I would appreciate if you show me how to go about it
Since I started my investment of $7,000 with Mrs Renee, I am now having $29,450 in my portfolio and the returns keeps coming. Honestly I felt like quitting my job and focus more on her trade.
Oh please, how can someone get to speak with her, I'm new at this, how can she be contacted?
Please how much Is OK for a start?.. so I can know if I can do this, someone should give me an answer
Do not believe this guy. A lot of what he is telling is not true.!
