01:05 This is pretty common in the more rural areas, where farmers will allow the sheep to roam free. There will commonly be warning road signs well before areas that are highly used by the sheep so drivers are able to slow down to avoid potential collision with sheep.
@@T.vango1 wow! Already in 78 😮! Damn, you must have been the king of the street back then! I remember when I got my first in the middle of the 80's, so proud! 😅 Don't know why because my plastic sleigh was faster. But the snowracer have its charm! And could easily fit two kids, they were expensive enough for not every kid to have one. But we made sure everyone got their turn, and it wasn't that big deal letting others use yours when you could ride on the back. Kinda important toy back then 👍
You already know about the samis 👍 Kven: people from Finland and their descendants who immigranted to northern Norway before year 1945. Skogfinner: Also from Finland, but settled down in eastern Norway in the woodland areas between Norway and Sweden. I think the last person who spoke their language died in the 80s. Romani: people who came to Norway in the 1500s. Lived a nomadic lifestyle, crafting and trading stuff. You could compare them with Gypsies, but as from what I understand, this is a different group. Their languages are closely related though.
"So some Norwegians live by mountains?" I am still chuckling, that was extremely funny to someone who grew up un this country where only 2 % or so of the land is arable, mainly due to said mountains!
He's a typical average American. What do you expect? In the USA there obviously are no mountains rivers, forests, snow, domestic animals ..., only a vast desert. I wasn't aware if that.
Girls and Boys have been learned same stuff since the 70's at least. Flying into Norway you just go over some really tall mountains. They have snow on top. Landing 30 min later it's really hot under the sun
Tik Tok fun in Norway. The first is probably from a mountain road, where you can meet both sheep, goats and cows on the road. This is usually announced with a sign. The second is probably what many would call a typical Norwegian Viking, it can withstand most things, such as ice water and freezing cold. The third is "The Seven Sisters" waterfall, which many want to see. The fourth is with a sheep and a cat, and can only be seen as fun. The fifth is from a toboggan run in Gudbransdalen, where you are pulled up with a ski lift to a starting point, then it's full speed back down. The sixth shows a lady on a plane coming over Norway, and sees that there is snow on the ground, and she is dressed for summer, but it is not as bad as you might think, because if you come to Norway in May, then if there is still snow on the mountains, it could almost be summer in the valleys and near the sea. The seventh shows a horse that somehow gets Monster drink. A horse (horsepower) is the same as (hp) in a car, and here's the funny thing, one horse is "broken". The eighth, yes, I didn't understand that one! The ninth shows three places in Norway, but one place has been given the wrong name, it is called Stryn, not Styrn. The rest is just to enjoy. The tenth is an electric car from Renault, with room for two, which you can rent and drive around to see Norway. The eleventh shows that even dogs can sleep in a sleeping bag, but check out that view. The twelfth shows three driving a ski racer down a hill in Bergen. And finally, one of two Viking ships built today in the old way the Vikings built their boats is shown. Tilbakemelding
Those 3 places are soooo beautiful! And yes, the river is really green/turquoise! As a kid we went on vacation to Stryn one year and we buried a "treasure" close to the river. Went back 5 years later, but never found it.
The only time in school when the girls and boys were taught separately (at least in my experience) was a time in primary school when we learned about puberty. First we all learned the basics, then the girls went to one classroom and learned about their stuff, and we went to another one and learned our stuff.
First tiktok with sheeps, Tyler failed to notíce the cars made in America... 10 Corvettes waiting in line for the sheeps. The sled @ 14m30s is called Snow Racer and it´s made by swedish company Stiga Sports AB.
The social control or law of Jante, and equality between the genders. Who carries your bags might be a woman, it depends on qualifications. We don't have fixed gender roles.
The gender equality has nothing to do with Jante. I’m quite surprised of your reaction. Why shouldn’t girls play football if they want, and why shouldn’t boys learn cooking and other skills so they are prepared for their life?
14:22 this is a Stiga Snowracer. comes in a lot of different varieties, and is a must have as a kid, when living in the northern parts of norway. 🙂 i used to ride one of these from my house down to my school all winter as a kid.
Stryn is a really nice place that have done a lot of infrastructure past few years. They got a camping area, is famous for their bakery and have a stone museum.
The dresses you see before you see the Sami dress is the Norwegian Bunad. Is a traditional Norwegian or national dress and it varies were you are in Norway. The look is the same, but the embroidery varies from place to place and so does the silver we have on our dresses. Thats called Bunadsølv or Bunadssilver. This dress has now been taken in to UNESCOS list of heritage because of history and unique appearance.
That picture with the dog sticking his head out is from Lofoten as well. That beach way down there has the nicest sand beach and I have had a new years bath in the ocean there. The water temperature was 4⁰ Celsius, thats about 39⁰ Farenheit.
That sled place is on a ski slope, really fun and insane view, also you end up going like 50 kph or more, each of the sleds weigh about 20 - 30 kg each
6:52 Now it’s summer break here and where I live it’s snow 5-6 months a year and when it’s summer it’s maybe 2 weeks IF we’re lucky to have it 25+ Degrees Celsius (don’t know what it’s in Fahrenheit) while the rest of the 6 weeks are like autumn in the US even though it’s the summer months.
8:53 for this, yes, it’s very much true and football is a big sport for girls in Norway. I suggest you try and react to the Norway Cup as it’s a crazy big football event with activities after a game like a Them park which is this year. And this year particularly has had some competitions…
14:19 so this is called a “Ratt-skjelke” which if you directly translate it, it would be “Steering wheel-sleigh” as it’s a sleigh with a steering wheel. And something that actually is illegal, but very fun and common, up north is having these sleighs hanging after a Snowmobile while it’s driving.
16:37 I am half and half Norwegian and Sámi with the Norwegian traditional clothing is different from a few big cities and (I think) all the Norwegian ’states’ while the traditional Sámi clothing is different from each TOWN and CITI even though the neighbouring places has them looking alike but still different. The Norwegian clothing is called Bunad while the Sámi one is called Kofte, with girls (I’m a girl myself) Bunad ranging up to 470$ for the design that’s voted The prettiest one (that includes shoes and everything you need), and the Kofte I use (mind you, I’m a girl) is not more then 150$ (also including everything) and I can even sew it’s myself for less, and the Kofte can be in different materials like one is more for winter and one is more fro summer because of the material. Kven is kind of a mix between Finlands people and the Sámi people. While the rest of them I haven’t heard about. (I’m Norwegian)
It seems Americans are very easily confused and upset and they have the utmost urge to voice that. Tromsø has a roundabout in a tunnel and reindeer use the tunnel to get on Magarøya so you quietly drive behind them
The sheep is in the road of three reasons: It's easy to walk on, the asfalt is warm, AND they are salting the roads in the winter and the sheep like to lick it up. :) But yes, in more rural parts they are everywhere, and cows.
When you pack for a campingtrip or trip in general in Norway no matter the time of year you pack wool. Thick knitted sweaters and rain clothes. Coz you never know what weather you get
14:15 Funnily enough, at least in my area, we always called that a "SnowRacer". Not the norwegian equivalent of that, but literally snowracer, pronounced the American way. (Google it, I think it's actually called that. Although my norwegian google algorithm might be skewed)
I'm 41 so my school knowledge isn't exactly up to date, but back when I was in School, the boys first got 1 class of woodworking and girls first got 1 class of sewing, then next time the classes were switched, then you were asked which one did you prefer and that'd be your "activity class", in my particular class (I chose woodworking) we had 3 girls who also chose woodworking. I'm not sure how many guys chose sewing since that wasn't the class I chose.
the horse and engine is a play on the fact that in the winter, some cars wont start if the engine is to cold and you need to jump start the engine. not easy to do, if no one else it out at the same time as you, and you can be really late to work.
the sled with a stearing whele is called a ratskjelke(i dont know if i spelt it right)but we have many veriasjons of a akebrett some ar falte with a handle to sit on and some you lay on
The last clip just reminds me of my uncle telling me about my dad's side he said " we are kvens sami and that's sami people from norway, Sweden, Finnish and Russia" I think bc we live so north that all this land are closer together P.s. My dad tells me we are fish sami mby you can learn more about sami people 🥰 have a great day everyone 😊
5:25 Oh Norwegians are not totally responsible using these sleds either! That's the point! :D Before we can ski or snowboard we use a "Stiga" sled, usually to hit jumps we build. Then when we're more coordinated than a toddler we go to skis and snowboards. Though Stigas are still popular until your knees can't bend that well anymore.
the teaching is the same in school for both boys and girls. when they get older they can decide what kind of high school they want to go to, but in elementary school/middle school, they are in the same class at the same time. when girls learn football and heavy lifting, so do the boys, and when the boys learn cooking and sewing so does the girls. we have mixed classes with both, and cooking is in food and health class/ home , and soccer is gym, heavy lifting is maybe shop class when they are a little older, and sewing is in art and crafts class. food and health they start with in grade 4, then in grade 7 and last grade 10. every 3 years.
As living in Norway It’s True of the sheep’s 😭 1:26 and yes u have Duolingo in norway! I’m a Sami! From my mom there’s 2 Sami’s One is Mountain and a Sea Sami
The sledge they ride on down Fløyen is called a snow racer. We also have kjelke, rattkjelke, rompeakebrett and more. Some of them are for small children, there even is some for babyes 6m+, some for one person, some for two persons. Even some for more people, but that is rare to see. Search for the brand Stiga, they have some of those
When I grew up we had something called heimkunnskap its knowledge about the home and there you learn how to use sewing machine, brodering, sewing, knitt and cooking. We also have kitchen were we have our classes. I still know how to set up a sewing machine to this day😂I never felt it was about gender when I did these things at school, but preparing you for adulthood and manage to do sertain things on your own without calling for moms help. Its basicly making you independent and I think most Norwegians are happy having this at school. I also had carpentry at my school.
first clip sheep is common on mountain and contry side roads,, but the line of sports cars is however not common at all, it is rare to see this many sport cars on norwegian roads unless there is some car event nearby
One of the sleds I had as a kid was covered in warnings saying that you should wear a helmet, etc (I never wore a helmet). It was basically to cover their ass if an American ever used it, lol. (Because you are very eager to sue.)
We are really used to animals in the roads, and love that they have free time and are outside. However the problem may be tourists, that do not know how to handel a car and animals in the roads and stops. Then the animals get curious and will usually surronds the car and wants food, water and hugs 😅 this can create stops in the traffic and not only slow traffic 😂
Sheeps roam free in the mountains. Just came home from a trip over the mountains from east to the western part of Norway and I was in several situations like the first clip. It's not annoying, it's just how it is.
Sheep on roads is pretty common in rual areas and people are _very_ patient with them because they know that if they damage or kill a sheep they'll owe the owner for his prize sheep and then they'll face animal cruelty charges, lose their lisence, etc. :D
Yes, we have Duolingo. But you can't learn from Norwegian to another language, so you have to learn from English to another language. The closest you can get is using the English -> Norwegian one to learn a little English. I use it to learn Finnish, my brother uses it to learn German, and my mother uses it to learn French.
None are indiginous, as there were 3 groups to settle the area now known as Norway at around the same time. A more apt description would be that you have Norwegians, and there are some minorities.
@@Henrik46 I know what it means, and I was refering to the Sami people, not Norwegians. As I wrote, the area now known as Norway has settled by three different groups of people, and from those groups we have Norwegians and the various minorities. It is not like one group of people lived in the area now known as Norway, and another group came and displaced / colonized those people.
@@malelonewolf80 The Sami are categorized as indigenous people. And for the most part, strangely enough, they are recognized as Indigenous people more than 'Norwegians' in general. But I do agree with your sentiment.
@@kunilsen2519 Categorized as that due to politics (excuse for being forced to «become» norwegian earlier in history, not because they were the first to settle in Norway, which they were not. Thus it would be more apt to label them a minority, like the Kven and similar.
The Sami people goes back 10.000 years and are the true first Norwegians, then you have Kven that comes from Northern part of Norway as far North as you can come along the coast line and goes back far, far not as long as the Sami but they have lived in Norway a long time as well. The you have Skogfinner or Skogfinnene that came over from Finnland and settled around the borderline between Norway and Sweden on the Norwegian side working mainly as woodworkers or on the timber line and settled in the woods around the inland of Norway. Then you have Tatere and Romani not to be compared. They are both traveling people, vile the Romani kept traveling the Tater people usually high rised, dark eyed and full of temper, but really hardworking have been in Norway for over 200 years and choose to settle mainly in the inland of Norway and they do it all. What I know is that they dont shy away from hard work. They work with everything from fishing, the woods and timber, blacksmithing and farming. Thats what makes Norway unique. We all came from somewhere wishing a better life for our kids and family and were willing to work hard to get it. Thats why we have all these small farm lands still in Norway. Thats why you find remote timber houses in the most unlikely places.😂
The Kven is Baltic-Finnic minority who immigrated from the 18th century. Skogfinner are descendants of Finnish people immigrating since the 16th century. The Romani ppl are nomadic people who live all over the world, including the US. They are believed to have ethnically originated in India, but the Romani, or Romfolk, coming to Norway are typically from Bulgaria and Romania, or Eastern Europe. Only the Sami is considered indigenous, and that is not entirely accurate either if you think about it in the context of USA and Native Americans. The Sami did not live in Norway before the Norwegians as there were groups of people immigrating to Scandinavia after the ice age from different directions, some from the south from western and central Europe and some from the East through what is today Finland and into Northern Norway. The Sami were part of the Eastern group, but they themselves were a mixture of Europeans migrating East from Europe and other Eastern groups.
14:14 That is a Rattkjelke, or Snowræser. There are different categories of sleds and other designs come in under Akebrett og Kjelke. Some Muppets, typically cityfolks, sometimes call Rattkjelke for Akebrett, don't listen to them, they don't know their stuff...
Of course held an axe. How else would he be able to break through the ice? The 7 sisters waterfall exists. It's in the Geirangerfjord, which is a World Heritage Site. I've actually kayaked to the waterfall. You will not believe the DOWNDRAFT! That's a big-ass warning. I learned to cook and sew, even crotcheting and macrame in school. We are similar in one way only; that we all wants to be individual... Of course you bring your dog! You should see the sleds we use on the downhills when there's ice... THEY get some decent speed. I've sailed on one of the Viking ships. It's a lot of work.
01:05 This is pretty common in the more rural areas, where farmers will allow the sheep to roam free. There will commonly be warning road signs well before areas that are highly used by the sheep so drivers are able to slow down to avoid potential collision with sheep.
Also cows and in some areas reindeers

I haven't heard of "styrn" either. 😂 It was the river in Stryn
Yeah...... Poor lad... the Norwegian cities aren't easy to learn
Got stuck in a tunnel years ago. Heavy rain, and all the sheep and goats took shelter inside, blocking traffic i both directions.
No danger of starving, meat and milk in abundance.
It's colder at the top of mountains, so the snow melts later.
You see a flock of sheep, I see yarn on a walk 😅
Feel yah. As a sheep owner myself i see all that good meat. Fårikål, pinnekjøtt etc.😍

In school everyone learns the same things.
Yeh, the fact that it's different in other countries baffles me
The tiny sledges are called akebrett. They come in a variety of designs, some with steering and some without, but they are all called the same.
The ones with the skis are called rattkjelke😊
@@annkristinhiluxa1639 Or Snowracer in English :)
Sledge = slegge. Sled = slede/kjelke

the teaching is the same in school for both boys and girls. when they get older they can decide what kind of high school they want to go to, but in elementary school/middle school, they are in the same class at the same time. when girls learn football and heavy lifting, so do the boys, and when the boys learn cooking and sewing so does the girls. we have mixed classes with both, and cooking is in food and health class/ home , and soccer is gym, heavy lifting is maybe shop class when they are a little older, and sewing is in art and crafts class. food and health they start with in grade 4, then in grade 7 and last grade 10. every 3 years.
As living in Norway It’s True of the sheep’s 😭 1:26 and yes u have Duolingo in norway! I’m a Sami! From my mom there’s 2 Sami’s One is Mountain and a Sea Sami
The fact he dident notice the cars in the first clip 😶 guess thats normal
The sledge they ride on down Fløyen is called a snow racer. We also have kjelke, rattkjelke, rompeakebrett and more. Some of them are for small children, there even is some for babyes 6m+, some for one person, some for two persons. Even some for more people, but that is rare to see. Search for the brand Stiga, they have some of those
When I grew up we had something called heimkunnskap its knowledge about the home and there you learn how to use sewing machine, brodering, sewing, knitt and cooking. We also have kitchen were we have our classes. I still know how to set up a sewing machine to this day😂I never felt it was about gender when I did these things at school, but preparing you for adulthood and manage to do sertain things on your own without calling for moms help. Its basicly making you independent and I think most Norwegians are happy having this at school. I also had carpentry at my school.
first clip sheep is common on mountain and contry side roads,, but the line of sports cars is however not common at all, it is rare to see this many sport cars on norwegian roads unless there is some car event nearby
One of the sleds I had as a kid was covered in warnings saying that you should wear a helmet, etc (I never wore a helmet).
It was basically to cover their ass if an American ever used it, lol.
(Because you are very eager to sue.)
and btw the viking ship is from Bjørkedalen but is displayed at Nordfjordeid. its a huge atraction for tourists coming on tourist ships
Bjørkedalen has a very long tradition building clinkerbuilt boats and ships viking style.
We are really used to animals in the roads, and love that they have free time and are outside. However the problem may be tourists, that do not know how to handel a car and animals in the roads and stops. Then the animals get curious and will usually surronds the car and wants food, water and hugs 😅 this can create stops in the traffic and not only slow traffic 😂
U don’t have “akebrett” ( snow board directly translated)in the US?? All kids in Norway have this in the winter.
Cows also use the roads when they come down from the mountains. Some farmers prefer tradition instead of loading them on trucks.
Sheeps roam free in the mountains. Just came home from a trip over the mountains from east to the western part of Norway and I was in several situations like the first clip. It's not annoying, it's just how it is.
yep, free range sheep is normal in the summer. farmers let their flock into the highlands and wilderness. but did you notice all them Teslas?
The sheep will often clear away if you rev your engine (honking your horn does nothing). No use if your're in a Tesla, though :)
Sheep on roads is pretty common in rual areas and people are _very_ patient with them because they know that if they damage or kill a sheep they'll owe the owner for his prize sheep and then they'll face animal cruelty charges, lose their lisence, etc. :D
No, they do not owe the farmer, but they may be charged with traffic violations.
1:40 I'm more concerned about all the sports cars rather than the sheep.
Why are there so many of them?
the ansvar is simply that norway tend to use salt as a way to prevent iceing. and animals from old use a salt stone to lick on. now its road salt
We do see sheep from time to time.
And on Saturday I encountered some cows who blocked the road.
Yes of course the cars are patient, because they know that if they kill one of the sheep the farmer is gonna come and HUNT THEM TO EXTINCTION 😅
How did you not notice the cars?
Yes, we have Duolingo.
But you can't learn from Norwegian to another language, so you have to learn from English to another language.
The closest you can get is using the English -> Norwegian one to learn a little English.
I use it to learn Finnish, my brother uses it to learn German, and my mother uses it to learn French.
«Sheep Happens» 😌
Stiga Rattkjelke... all you need to know. Should be able to buy towards Canada.
As a Norwegian I know some fun places with big cliffs my friend thought he had extra life lol and there is always sheep
Norwegians are the indigenous people of Norway. The Sami are too, but they have special rights by international and national law to protect them.
None are indiginous, as there were 3 groups to settle the area now known as Norway at around the same time. A more apt description would be that you have Norwegians, and there are some minorities.
@@malelonewolf80Look up what "indigenous" means. 😊
@@Henrik46 I know what it means, and I was refering to the Sami people, not Norwegians. As I wrote, the area now known as Norway has settled by three different groups of people, and from those groups we have Norwegians and the various minorities. It is not like one group of people lived in the area now known as Norway, and another group came and displaced / colonized those people.
@@malelonewolf80 The Sami are categorized as indigenous people. And for the most part, strangely enough, they are recognized as Indigenous people more than 'Norwegians' in general.
But I do agree with your sentiment.
@@kunilsen2519 Categorized as that due to politics (excuse for being forced to «become» norwegian earlier in history, not because they were the first to settle in Norway, which they were not. Thus it would be more apt to label them a minority, like the Kven and similar.
The Sami people goes back 10.000 years and are the true first Norwegians, then you have Kven that comes from Northern part of Norway as far North as you can come along the coast line and goes back far, far not as long as the Sami but they have lived in Norway a long time as well. The you have Skogfinner or Skogfinnene that came over from Finnland and settled around the borderline between Norway and Sweden on the Norwegian side working mainly as woodworkers or on the timber line and settled in the woods around the inland of Norway. Then you have Tatere and Romani not to be compared. They are both traveling people, vile the Romani kept traveling the Tater people usually high rised, dark eyed and full of temper, but really hardworking have been in Norway for over 200 years and choose to settle mainly in the inland of Norway and they do it all. What I know is that they dont shy away from hard work. They work with everything from fishing, the woods and timber, blacksmithing and farming. Thats what makes Norway unique. We all came from somewhere wishing a better life for our kids and family and were willing to work hard to get it. Thats why we have all these small farm lands still in Norway. Thats why you find remote timber houses in the most unlikely places.😂
You can call them snow mobiles 😊
Its called Stryn
A snowracer! Good fun!
No, that's not a glacier, that's a lake.
The Kven is Baltic-Finnic minority who immigrated from the 18th century. Skogfinner are descendants of Finnish people immigrating since the 16th century. The Romani ppl are nomadic people who live all over the world, including the US. They are believed to have ethnically originated in India, but the Romani, or Romfolk, coming to Norway are typically from Bulgaria and Romania, or Eastern Europe. Only the Sami is considered indigenous, and that is not entirely accurate either if you think about it in the context of USA and Native Americans. The Sami did not live in Norway before the Norwegians as there were groups of people immigrating to Scandinavia after the ice age from different directions, some from the south from western and central Europe and some from the East through what is today Finland and into Northern Norway. The Sami were part of the Eastern group, but they themselves were a mixture of Europeans migrating East from Europe and other Eastern groups.
Thous snow things with 3 ski. Is calles a snow racer. Very common for all norwegians
in Norway we have winter 6 months out of the year
NORWAY IS A FIRST WORLD COUNTRY
The name of the sled is «rakk kjelke»
14:14 That is a Rattkjelke, or Snowræser. There are different categories of sleds and other designs come in under Akebrett og Kjelke. Some Muppets, typically cityfolks, sometimes call Rattkjelke for Akebrett, don't listen to them, they don't know their stuff...
ty for making so many videos about norway :) im norwegian!
Of course held an axe. How else would he be able to break through the ice?
The 7 sisters waterfall exists. It's in the Geirangerfjord, which is a World Heritage Site. I've actually kayaked to the waterfall. You will not believe the DOWNDRAFT! That's a big-ass warning.
I learned to cook and sew, even crotcheting and macrame in school.
We are similar in one way only; that we all wants to be individual...
Of course you bring your dog!
You should see the sleds we use on the downhills when there's ice... THEY get some decent speed.
I've sailed on one of the Viking ships. It's a lot of work.
Kven is a "sideline" of the samipeople. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think kvener (plural) lives by the sea.
The pets likes to take Nowegians camping
The sled is actually Swedish.
The way he pronounced Geiranger 💀
she means in ukrain, the men gets the luggage, but in norway, even girls get their own luggage
And he didn't notice the cars in the first video... But yeah, pretty common...
React to tungtvaann next and if your gonna react to places do lofoten
