Hey guys, thanks for 1000 subs! I'm planning on making some more videos, and was looking to get some feedback: 1) Are the "mini-tests" at the end of videos useful/helpful or should I not include them? 2) What kind of content are you most interested in learning? and 3) Do you have any constructive feedback? Thanks :)
Hi I just started to learn Norwegian I am also taking classes in Oslo. Your videos helps me alot plzz continue making videos and mini test idea is awesome keep it up;)
Thanks for your videos, but please don't forget that it would be way better if you provided sentences for context, not only words themselves. During the test, I could only remember 2 or 3 words and only because they were very similar to German ones. With sentences, the effectiveness would be at least 2 times better.
I have a question. I know it's because my hearing isnt yet used to norwegian, but on "glad" (happy) y hear "gra" i hear an R instead of an L. Is it a common thing to sort of pronounce it like that??
I think it's like that because (I think) glad comes from Danish glad and Danish has some really weird pronounciations like the rø combination and the stød so that's why (i think)
It's a dialectal thing. Many dialects have a "thick" L like you hear in the video, and I think it might be because Simple Norwegian's native dialect is a trønder dialect. Norwegian does not have stød like in Danish.
What "type" of Norwegian are we learning right here ? Because I know that there are couple of dialects of this language across the country and they are pretty different
This is great! Would be even better to have a link to a table somewhere with the words of this lesson, so we can go over the words ourselves to learn the words. Great stuff!
@@SimpleNorwegian Can I ask you as well if you can give some tips on pronunciation of the phrases with the "R" sound? To make it sound clearer? Because, I have a lot of difficulties interconnecting words in full sentences. Thank you!!
This would be so much more effective if you provided a sentence that we can use with the word - ie - I pushed my brother in law over the cliff and married his wife.
hey, I love your videos, think you're doing a great work. there's just something I'd like to know. I learned the word angry as "sint", so is there a difference between sur and sint? Also I noticed you pronounce some "L"s as "R", is that how it's supposed to be pronounced or is it due to your accent?
Thanks! Yes angry can be "sint" or "sur" in norwegian, "sur" also means sour, like sour food. What you're hearing in the video is exactly what the Norwegian L sounds like! Perhaps slightly influenced by my local dialect. I suppose it might sound a bit different from other languages
@@nikhilnanivdekar5208 Both can be used. Vær så snill literally means "be so kind", so sometimes you would say "vær så snill og ikke bråk så mye", or alternatively "vennligst ikke bråk så mye", when asking someone to not make too much noise
My Father was Norwegian. Han komma fra Alesund. Ja, yeah. I bod i Glasgow. SCOTLAND, uk. Ja i Have visited Norway. A few Times most Recently with min kone Et datter, about 10 ar' . We visited Oslo, and Loved every minute. Yeah. God jul...🤔😁

Greetings from JAPAN! :3 ありがとうございます！:)
You are doing great. It is really useful and helpful listening the languages. I keep repeating to listen to use to it the sound.
You are doing a great job, especially explaining the grammar part and I like the mini tests. Keep it up
Hi I just started to learn Norwegian I am also taking classes in Oslo. Your videos helps me alot plzz continue making videos and mini test idea is awesome keep it up;)
Norwegian
20% English
25% German
55% own stuff

thank you, nice to have a test at the end:)
I have a question. I know it's because my hearing isnt yet used to norwegian, but on "glad" (happy) y hear "gra" i hear an R instead of an L. Is it a common thing to sort of pronounce it like that??
It's mainly because of his dialect. It's pronounced with an L and not with an R.
Yes, exactly. I was going to ask the same question.
I think it's like that because (I think) glad comes from Danish glad and Danish has some really weird pronounciations like the rø combination and the stød so that's why (i think)
It's a dialectal thing. Many dialects have a "thick" L like you hear in the video, and I think it might be because Simple Norwegian's native dialect is a trønder dialect. Norwegian does not have stød like in Danish.
I thought angry means "sint"?
The brain shot animation with the Norwegian flag was hilarious
Thank you for the lessons but i might not continue with it because i have too many other interests.
I loved your Soft voice. Greetings from Brazil!
Again, great video. Animations are rockin' it! Make more vocabulary if you can. P. S. Test is stressing 💥💣🙌
Thank you so much
What "type" of Norwegian are we learning right here ? Because I know that there are couple of dialects of this language across the country and they are pretty different
Bokmål (with a bit of trønder-accent it sounds like)
Actually there are too many dialects across the country
This is great! Would be even better to have a link to a table somewhere with the words of this lesson, so we can go over the words ourselves to learn the words. Great stuff!
Thank you so much. You are really a very very good teacher! I like your lesson from heart. If makes me feel that I am gonna learn Norwegian!!!
On Duolingo, they say "en kvinne" ?!?!
In Norwegian, you can choose to use either the male or female article with feminine nouns
@@SimpleNorwegian Amazing, thank you so much!!!
@@SimpleNorwegian Can I ask you as well if you can give some tips on pronunciation of the phrases with the "R" sound? To make it sound clearer? Because, I have a lot of difficulties interconnecting words in full sentences. Thank you!!
Thank you so much. I studied an hour everyday with your videos for 10 days and I started to understand the language.
Greetings from Turkey!
😄

This sounds like a Duolingo sentence LOL
Then you married your sister! Ew!
@@wms72 why would my brother be married with my sister?😐
pro tip : watch movies on flixzone. Me and my gf have been using it for watching a lot of movies recently.
@Finnegan Eric definitely, been using Flixzone for years myself :D

Simple Norwegian oh i see, thanks :D
I'd say that "sur" best can be translated to "grumpy". "Gretten" is another word meaning the same.
In the word "Glad" (happy) does the letter L sounds like an R?🤔
Takk så mye!
Sjelden is etymologically connected to English word seldom. Rarely and seldom have very similar definitions.
Hi, your videos are really helping. As this video focused on basic vocabulary, can you tell the word "please" in Norwegian, tusen takk.. in advance..
Vær så snill
@@SimpleNorwegian takk, I also observed that vennligst is used for please... Which one is appropriate?
@@nikhilnanivdekar5208 Both can be used. Vær så snill literally means "be so kind", so sometimes you would say "vær så snill og ikke bråk så mye", or alternatively "vennligst ikke bråk så mye", when asking someone to not make too much noise
Laereren min, hvorfor sier du "grad"? And the way, that is a very beautiful kvinna. lol
My Father was Norwegian.
Han komma fra Alesund.
Ja, yeah. I bod i Glasgow.
SCOTLAND, uk. Ja i
Have visited Norway.
A few Times most
Recently with min kone
Et datter, about 10 ar' .
We visited Oslo, and
Loved every minute.
Yeah. God jul...🤔😁
2:52 interestingly, to me atleast, I would call a coolbox (the type one would store drinks and ice in) an esky.
Tusen takk❤❤👍👌
Can you explain little bit more about the pronouns..!?😢
Check out lesson #5
Could (ei) Luft also be translated as a sky? You talk about 'air' but in the picture it's more of a sky. And what is the gender of the word 'drikke'?
Drikke is feminine. Luft is usually just air
