Finally a proper video on how Norwegians say Bjørn. Been looking for this. I particularly liked the part of the video where different Norwegians were saying "Bjørn"
probably because the question it was asked in, did not even come close to the rightful pronounciation. Btw im swedish and the swedish variant of it is Björn and it sounds more beautiful in Swedish. Just saying.
This is probably the best UA-cam recommendation I have ever received even though I hadn't searched Norway or anything Norwegian, UA-cam just knew. They knew I would love it.
my surname derives from Asbjorn - so you can literally see how the English language has been doing this over the course of more than 1,400 years so don't worry it's not just Americans!
Why did this popped into my recoommendations right after Felix and Marzia had their first son and named him Björn? Does UA-cam know? Is this a sign from god?
I love how this guy must have just waltz into the World Showcase’s “Norway” and thought to himself, “ah yes I should ask the Norwegian bakery workers how to pronounce Bjørn.” And their awkward smiles tell you how odd a request that is, like a local asking a group of American tourists how to pronounce Bob. 😆

Great, the algorithm has offered this up to me like a billion times in the last month. I finally watched and I was not disappointed. Action packed from the very beginning I was hooked. And now the added bonus of the algorithm offering up endless streams of Norwegian based content. My favorite!
Regardless where you live, if the name Bjørn is common, however that local area pronounce it is correct, because they was given it with that exact pronounce, so an American naming their child Bjorn, would regardless be correct.
Exactly right - in fact in IPA (the International Phonetic Alphabet) German _ö_ is transcribed as [ø], borrowed from Danish. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Close-mid_front_rounded_vowel
@@nose-bleed The TV series Vikings is 90% made up or changed to cater to the great masses. Kattegat is the name of the ocean between Denmark and Sweden, NOT a small village in western Norway. It sounds so extremely stupid. It's like making a TV series about native americans from New Mexico and calling the village they live in "Caribbean Sea".
The thing is the UA-cam algorithm literally knows us better than we know ourselves. It knew we wanted to watch this for some effed up reason, before we even did ourselves. I still don't know why I wanted to watch it, but UA-cam does.
No, its more clickbaity. Clickbait works and so youtube recommends it. It would be AWESOME if youtube would actually recommend me stuff that I give a LIKE, because other people who give LIKES to the same stuff as me have LIKED it before.

He just walks into a bakery next door and asks the employees, as well as the customers to say Bjørnto the internet. What a legend you are Bjørn. Next time go to starbucks, they will absolutely fail to pronounce Bjørn.
I wonder if this popped up because of ABBA just released a new song and the fact they have a Björn in the band. Otherwise this is definitely a random recommendation.

Americans, the one guy isn’t saying “bjorn”, he just has a southern Norwegian accent that makes it harder to distinguish between ø and o for non-native speakers. Edit: Why are everyone saying that not everyone is American? The reason I said “Americans” is because I am referring to comments by Americans. Everyone else, my comment doesn’t apply to you.
@@VanGugenhiemer Depends on who you’re asking. In my opinion, many southern dialects in Norway are quite charming (and they’re not “thick” dialects like you would consider southern dialects in the US), but they do speak with a different type of “melody” and emphasis on certain words and pronunciations. Northern dialects would be considered “thicker” and somewhat more difficult to understand. However, the first and last person in this video both speak a dialect that might be considered more “by-the-book”.
That is like 4 different ways of saying "Bjørn", each a different pronunciation no doubt influenced by the regional accents of each person. As an American-Mexican, having never set foot in or near Norway or Norwegian people, I am pleasantly surprised to learn of the variety of people from Norway!
The first and last is pretty similar, both from eastern part of Norway. We don’t have a lot of rules for phonetics in Norwegian, so ending a word or a vowel “up” or “down” etc. is kind of individual and random. The second and third have accents from Western/South-Western Norway, with a distinct “rolling” on the R-sound. We call it skarre-R :) this also results in different vowel-sounds, depending on where the person grew up. Norway has a lot of fjords and valleys, which historically restricted the population to minor settlements, and a lot of different accents developed. Even places that are pretty much adjacent, can have quite distinctive differences.
@@hurrdurrpothead5250 Awesome! Could you clarify what you mean by "up" or "down"? Do you mean the pitch? Do regional dialects or other Scandinavian languages have rules for pitch? (Because you mention it.)
@@jelmar35 yeah, I’m talking about the difference of pitch of the first and last person, beacause they have the same dialect but just pronounce it a bit differently. I was just thinking about a lot of Latin languages, with the à,á,é,ê etc., we don’t really have those in Norway. Norwegian and Danish are very similar in writing, as Norwegian Bokmål (the most used of the two official written languages in Norway), is largely derived from Danish from when Denmark ruled over Norway for several hundred years. Orally Danish is quite different, and a lot of Norwegians have a hard time understanding it. Swedes and Danes hardly understand each other at all:)
Yes, it is many different accents/dialects in Norway. Northern Norwegian dialect vs southern Norwegian is like 2 different languages. And the dialects is also very different in both the north parts and south parts. I live in a small village in northern Norway, you just need to drive 20 kilometers and the dialect is a little bit different.

You know when you’re looking for a youtube video to satisfy you and you’re looking through your feed and recommendations and nothing looks interesting? Then one random recommendation pops up and it’s less than 10 seconds and is the perfect video to make you feel absolutely satisfied. This is that video.
The good and the bad thing about Norwegian is that there isn't really a right way to speak it. This short video alone demonstrates a snippet of the humongous variety of Norwegian dialects: The second and third speakers speak with the guttural ''R'' found on the western coast, while the last speaker has the rolling ''R'' as well as the upwards inflection of someone from the urban east.
I know two twin brothers named Shaun and John, and when they get drunk they call each other "Shern n Jern." This has been a local family meme for 20 years, maybe this whole time they've been right. They are Scandinavian after all. lol
It can both be a name and the name of the animal (Bear). The different pronounciations, you can hear southern, western, and eastern dialects in this video. The southern and western dialects are special due to their guttural R (in Norwegian we call this "skarre")
I dreamed of asking a guy named Byörn if I was pronouncing it right last night. Now I get recommended this. My life is a fucking joke to some simulation admins.

You know when you’re looking for a youtube video to satisfy you and you’re looking through your feed and recommendations and nothing looks interesting? Then one random recommendation pops up and it’s less than 10 seconds and is the perfect video to make you feel absolutely satisfied. This is that video.
There's the video I thought I'd never be lucky enough to be suggested!
Pewdiepie’s son is already a legend👶🏼🩵
4 years in learning this language. Glad that I got the pronounciation of bjørn down. Next stept: How to pronounce bjørnen. And bjørnene.
My man knows the struggle!
its easy you just say it :D lol
@@siegpasta Hjelp! Bjørnen klemmer meg!
(I learned this one on Duolingo. Might come in handy some day)
The good and the bad thing about Norwegian is that there isn't really a right way to speak it. This short video alone demonstrates a snippet of the humongous variety of Norwegian dialects: The second and third speakers speak with the guttural ''R'' found on the western coast, while the last speaker has the rolling ''R'' as well as the upwards inflection of someone from the urban east.
Can you say:Ripsens ripsbærbusker og andre buske vekster????
I do not regret clicking on this.
Norwegians: Bjorn
Vikings Fans: Bjorn Ironside, son of ragnar lothbrok and Lagertha, he who cant ever be killed !!
This video: Bjørn
Me, an intellectual: Buh-jorn
Norwegians: "Bjørn"
Americans: "Beef jerky"
This was literally the lamest joke I have ever seen. I’m not even trying to be mean😐.
Indians: bobs and wejene
I was just here after Pewds reacted to "Visiting my Hometown"
The algorithm works in mysterious ways
Excellent. I've been saying it mostly right all this time.
well it depends on if its Bjørn or Björn
@@decentrob8126 A decent point.
I know two twin brothers named Shaun and John, and when they get drunk they call each other "Shern n Jern." This has been a local family meme for 20 years, maybe this whole time they've been right. They are Scandinavian after all. lol
Omg i love this
"Jørn" is actually another Norwegian name.
Thanks, UA-cam algorithm.
congratulations pewds
I learned how to pronouce it watching vikingos (tv series)... 🤣🤣
vikingos never heard of it lol
@@cedric5432 It’s Vikings in Spanish
@@cedric5432 🤣
@@cedric5432 it's Mexican
Vikingos makes me think it's a breakfast cereal but you use mead instead of milk.
Great to hear so many different approaches to the name! Greetings from Norway!
Thank you! Greetings from Interlachen, Florida!
It can both be a name and the name of the animal (Bear). The different pronounciations, you can hear southern, western, and eastern dialects in this video. The southern and western dialects are special due to their guttural R (in Norwegian we call this "skarre")
I don't know why every less than 10 seconds video are always tempting to watch.
UA-cam algorithm knows too much
POV: you lift a stone in Norway: *Another dialect*
I know how to pronounce Björn, I'm a ABBA fan. 😏
But it is not Björn, is Bjørn! In Swedish is pronounced more like 0:04 but in norwegian more like 0:06 or 0:02!
@@user-hk8yp7cw1v its so similar that it really comes down to where in Sweden or Norway you come from, no real difference
@@user-hk8yp7cw1v I'm swedish and it depends on where you live in Sweden and Norway
me reading the title: hey, why not .
My friend from Germany is called Björn. Interesting to hear how Norwegians pronounce it. Strange things the algorithm comes up, but I like it.
@JillyVanilly2311 Umm, that´s the point :D He says his name different than the people in the video.
Björn is a common name in Sweden too
@JillyVanilly2311 yes, it basically is
Well, let's all hail UA-cam algorytms to gather us here - on the 8 years old video with less the 50k views, cause why not.
hahah it's weird for me to see all this traffic suddenly, but really fun too! Thanks for leaving a comment!
Ah yes, the youtube algorithm at its best.
Me to youtube: Cmon guys you can do better
UA-cam: I mean... you clicked it
Bjørn, Björn
Norska och Svenska :)
@@AandCMusic hvor er du fra
@@AandCMusic aa
I dreamed of asking a guy named Byörn if I was pronouncing it right last night. Now I get recommended this. My life is a fucking joke to some simulation admins.
Hahahaah no wayyy!!!!
I started a joke, that started the whole world laughing. Oh if I'd only seen, that the joke was funny.
Thank you for this recommendation yt. I appreciate that. English talking people can also try to combine ,b‘ and ‚yearn‘. That‘s how I would explain it.
I just woke up, crust still covers my eyes, I reach for my phone and open the UA-cam app. Ahhhh, just what I needed to see to start my day off on the right foot.
Lmao its 3:49 am for me, just what i needed to watch before sleepin
