I've lived in Norway for most of my life (35 years). I lived for a year in Gothenburg, Sweden, and I've spent a lot of time traveling through Sweden on vacation. It's very rare that I'm able to tell a Swede apart from a Norwegian. I think we largely look the same, but every once in a while you'll see someone who looks distinctively Swedish. I'm sure Swedish people who have spent some time in Norway or with Norwegians recognize distinctive, Norwegian features in certain people as well - but for the most part, I really do think we look very much the same.
the interwiever is stellar aswell. she knows these press junkets are boring af, she gives em openings and just lean back, and sees what comes of it... she dont do the clickbait O... M... G! crap. great reaction. thanks man
Love how they ask for a slang word for penis and she gives them perhaps the most childish option there is lol no "kuk", "pikk", "benner'n" or "Kølle", but "tissefant" that's the one she went for... the one only used by children under the age of 7...
Considering he had no idea what he was reading, or any context for it, he did excellently. He really showed that he had absorbed some of the language while he tutored at that film school, even if he didn't understand it. Because his pronunciations, despite its mistakes and faltering, was very good. If I was in charge of evaluating asylum seekers and immigrants, and someone read that so well the first day, id have given that a really good score.
The wives in Norway have never been known to be particularly meek lol While we have not always had equal opportunity in Norway, the Norwegian people have generally been pretty equal. At least compared to other countries.
Norwegian words for penis for those who are curious: Tissefant, the one she mentioned, which is what we use when talking with children, or just tiss or tissen. Then there is pikk and kuk, which are not considered as child friendly and perhaps the most typical. Other words are kølla (club), staken (stake), junior (junior), peis, lem og jernet (iron) etc. You can also add to these words, like hest-kuk, which translates to horse-kuk... You're welcome...
Swedes have mostly been merchants and noble men not as acustommed to physical labor and therefore have a more narrow body shape with longer faces and Kevin Hart nailed it with the women, stereotypical slender model types. Norway is made up of farmers and fishermen and are generally more ruggedly built. Centuries of farming the steep mountain sides have given the women especially much thicker thighs and backside compared to their more petit swedish counterparts. Danes are more continental and slightly shorter and stockier on the whole. Swedes generally have more blondes, though 90% of Norwegians are born blonde but gradually go darker brown as they get older (less sun there maybe). Danes have slighltly fewer blondes but those that are, are the blondest of them all.
You know someone has money when they visit mainland Norway and then go up to the "north pole" because he "was in the area". (guess he meant Svalbard, but it's not really "in the area" for normal people)
If you're up way north, some places are just "In the area". Like when you go west from Kirkenes to have dinner. It's a 70 kilometres drive. So you rent a converted boat house cottage, and stay overnight... Next day you drive home. Another 70 kilometres...
You're talking about the Arctic Circle, he talked about taking a boat towards the North Pole. They saw polar bears. We are not talking about mainland Norway, because there are no polar bears there. He probably went to Svalbard, which is not 70km from anywhere on the mainland and not a trip anyone makes because they were in Norway.
The norwegian language is pretty difficult for an american to pronunciation the right way so the guy who read it was very bad sorry to say! And to say am a norwegian so you know.
I don't really care if anyone has made it big anywhere, even here! So if I meet someone who'd be very famous wherever, and even I can recognize them, I'd give him/her a nod and a smile, just to show that I appreciate what they've done. Most "celebrities" aren't bad people, they just come from somewhere, or some-place, else. And whatever adulation they find elsewhere, just doesn't matter much outside of their own sphere of recognition. So Norway might be a good place for them to get deflated and just find themselves... ;)
I've had this video recommended to me on UA-cam, but I cringe so hard it hurts when Norwegians are so obsessed about what foreign celebrities thing about Norway.
The Viking women had... more autonomy I suppose? as they were able to divorce as well, and they usually would be the one running the homstead, they would have to if their husband was gone for months if not years on end, off on a ship going somewhere. The ones who settled in North America brought their women as well, as there is a story of one of their encounters with the Native Americans, as Vikings... while they got the rep of being strong warriors, were still very superstitious and afraid of new things perhaps. Anyway, the Native Americans attacked the Vikings, wielding a kind of sling on the end of a stick, so when they swung them to wind up to sling the bullet/rock, there was a high pitched sound from the wind, which frightened the Vikings and they started retreating. In the midst of this was a heavily pregnant Viking woman, and with no way to really run away, being heavily pregnant and all, her solution? She grabbed the sword of a fallen Viking, yanked down the front of her dress exposing her chest, and started beating the flat of the blade against her chest while facing the Native Americans and yelling towards them... which I don't know what they thought, if they got scared? confused? worried? who knows, either way, they ended up retreating. And that's a story that kinda gives you a look into the women around the Vikings at the time. Also! the one teaching them a slang word for penis.... tissefant... hahaha! that's basically what a child would call it, like saying peepee. :P
Oh, yes "Viking" woman were "in Charge", they were even able to divorce, and even had more rights in certain aspects than men. When Christianity came to Norway it pushed back Woman-Rights atleast 1000 years. and it still hasn't catched up.
I found it kinda funny how she went with tissefant as a slang for penis. It's basically the equivalent of saying wee wee or pee pee. A very childish word.
The norwegian look is a little more natural. But guess that is more cultural. But I noticed that more sweedes have white hair and red skin. I would say norwegians are more attractive becouse the norwegian men, that dont use makeup, look better than the swedish men. The women is equal but most where make up and color the hair...so it's hard to say🤷♀️
yes, the vikingwomen rules the home, they had the responsibility to keep the home and farm, and was kind of badass women 😉
I like the way she makes the celebrities relax. They give good, honest answers. Some of them are really funny.

Why make Patrick Stewart say the national anthem lmao. He did really well tho. Surprisingly well
Edit: same with Damon!
SAGANATT!!😂

Surprisingly understandable (not all of it, but a lot)
You should check out «uti vår hage» dont know if there are anything with subtitles… guess you’ll just have to learn Norwegian😉
The average Norwegian male is now 181 cm, so thats past six feet.
Just below actually, 183 is the exact number to get to 6 feet I believe. as 181 is 5'9
@@VampyrMygg 182. 180 is 5'12.
I am exactly 6f and is.182.89cm, thats 0.1mm taller than six feet.1 f is about 30,48.xxxxxc
@@Powertotheppl Oh. I am 1, 85. Not sure what that is in feet.
Patrick Stewart no no, didn't understand a quack of what he was saying, but he did well in the beginning :)
Captain Picard trying to sing our national anthem...ohh man. Regards Norway

Sweeds are more dressy, Norwegians are more out doorsy.

Patrick Stewarts norwegian was quite horrible, but i LOVED IT!!! Norwegian is very difficult to learn, and I am so proud he acctually tried

How can you not know who Liv Ullman is ?

They really are clueless. In their own heads.
Scandinavians and Iceland are totally the same people
Apparently they stopped in Ireland and picked up some women, so the Icelanders have some Irish blood, as well.

I find Glasgow women atractive

The woman was, and is I guess, in charge of the economy. Sometimes they were also in charge of the soldiers.
