"We vote for each other in Eurovision"... That was so sweet... hahaahahaha!!!
The best comment hahaha
And then you go booing (Greece - Cyprus)'s *one* shot 12s.
I literally need to find that guy, he is so handsome!
That's cheating.
@@banger2998 You're on to something. And it's not political, it's cultural. Who do we "swing" with?
As a dane, Norwegian is very easy to understand. Swedish is a bit harder.
And Trondheim is a great town.
Norwegians are friendly and good peoole.
@Brian Sandberg Your bait is terrible
@ಠ_ಠ Man svarer nok lidt forskelligt ud fra hvor man kommer fra. Havde de spurgt i Bergen havde folk vel også svaret at der er utrolig solrigt i Danmark ;)
I'd say there was a HUGE difference in the Norwegian spoken in just this video. Some almost sounded like Danish people trying to speak Norwegian, whereas others sounded more like Swedes trying to speak Norwegian. The former being much easier to understand for a Dane of course. Southern Norway and Denmark seem to be closer and Norwegians feel more connected to Sweden the further North you get. All the way at the top I would guess they think of Finns as their best buddies. Norway is a LONG fucking country. lol
@ಠ_ಠ Er enig sett fra Stavanger. Tror nok vi på sørvestlandet står nærmere Danmark, både geografisk, språklig og kulturelt, enn de gjør i Trøndelag.
@Sigvald Nielsen Mange dansker sier de forstår dialekten i Stavanger bedre enn mange andre norske dialekter, pga tonefallet og andre trekk. Man kan fint snakke et ganske "bokmålnært" stavangersk.
Dane here✋ I work with Norwegians and speak with them daily. For me it is key importance that we speak our own language and do not swicht in to english. If you just open your ears and your mindset it is not that hard. We spell almost the same way - we just pronunce the word differently (bokmål og dansk). I know for the vast majority of Danes that we adore and love our brother country to the north. You do not find a people more common to Danes than Norwegian. That is my experience. And dont get me started on Sweden...😉
Yes, I am a Dane and feel the same way about Norway. I think Norwegians don't like us because Danish is unique and historical reasons.
@Brian SandbergI find that a lot of people don't hate Sweden, but like Norway and Iceland more. Obviously this depends on personal opinions.
The younger generation in particular do not make an effort to understand Danish, same in Sweden north of Halmstad.
Terence Petersen-Ajbro It is really a shame. Should be more mandatory education in school to learn the other two languages.
Brian Sandberg To some extend yes. But we do not share the same historic past with Sweden than we do with Norway. Mostly being in war and figthing over football 😅
Denmark is flat
Holland : hold my joint.
Lol my brother in law is Danish and I'm from Guatemala. We have loads of mountains and volcanos. I asked him if Danes have the same and his response was "not at all, Denmark is flat like a pancake" lol
@@IsaGirlGamer yeah we dont have a single Mountain.. Or rock formations/rock Cliffs. Except for Bornholm.
Every person that goes to Denmark's higest point say "Where is it. This can't be it." It's 170 meters. Hollands is 322 meters.
@@tetea7257 haha that was funny. I don't want to sound mean at all, I remember my sister saying she went to the highest Danish point. I couldn't believe it was so quick and small. Compared to Guatemala's highest point 4.222 meters (Volcano Tajumulco) which takes around 8 hours to hike with good physical condition. I didn't know The Netherlands was almost as flat as Denmark. I'm starting to learn more and more about these countries orography since I haven't been to them
@@danhansen3480 Oh, I definitely see the differences between landscapes. My sister loves living in Denmark and something she appreciates so much is how close she can get with the nature. Also, Danes are so environmentally friendly. That island actually looks nice though
"I am not too fond of Denmark" ... "I don't know any clear difference between Denmark and Norway." - Good job pal
LMAO
What a sad life.😏
I think he meant the geography, as that's the specific things he mention after saying that he's not fond of Denmark. And as a Dane, I gotta admit that Norway has a nicer geography. The Norwegian fells and fjords are simply beautiful without compare.
@@DirtyPoul Ha, ha you cannot compare their geography. Denmark is a pancake. Got other qualities though. Great "lille" land.
tl;dr
_Danes:_ Can't understand them
_Denmark:_ Flat
_Differences between Norway and Denmark:_ It's flatter
_Norway-Denmark relationship:_ g o o d
_Where is your dialect from:_ This random valley
What do they mean with "flat"?

They are just spoiled with their nature and wealth.
Haha, why is this offensive? It's just the truth.
... Your neighbours on every side think denmark is flat.
@@1cmman How are they spoiled and you are not? To me, as Greek, you are both spoiled with your money and the "superiority" (but to be honest southerns are also a bit jealous yet secretely admiringful beacause you have managed it quite decently so far actually and that sets inevitably an example).

Danes in general likes norwegians as our brothers and sisters. We loves your singing-words and hospitality. Kind regards Lasse
As a Dane working in Norway/Bergen, I almost feel at home. Norwegians and danes get along very well. Norway is a beatyfull country.
Bergen is NOT Norway to me, it's Denmark. Stll don't understand what they said.
As a dane I also want to share that I like norway and norwegians. I don't think the language is too deficult. I visited family in Vestland and we just spoke our native languages, it took a day or two to get in sync and completely understand eachother.I heard it is even easier for danes to understand norwegians from the southern parts like Stavanger and Kristiansand which might be related to danish influence during Danmark-Norge.
Der er en grund til at vi kalder hinanden for "Broderfolk". Brødre skændes konstant, men vi elsker hinanden alligevel!
Det er sandt!
Både danske satwcomic og japanske Hetalia fremstiller de nordiske landene som småkjeklende søsken, som egentlig går godt overens ja.

Denmark is a great country and with awesome,social and friendly people.I always miss being in Denmark after every vacation spent there.
Kære nordmænd, hvis I holder jer til kun at tale bokmål forstår vi hinanden fint.
Og I blev jo vældig glade for jeres nye konge, som I importerede fra Danmark.
Danmark og Norge = brødre for altid. 🇩🇰❤️🇸🇯
Bokmål? Nei, det får holde av vi skriver det. Jeg tror det sitter langt inne for de fleste nordmenn som ikke er fra Østlandet å snakket bokmål. Dialekt er identitet og vi er ikke så veldig glade i den dialekten, og i hvert fall ikke tonefallet.
I love Denmark and Danish people. Love their houses and layed back open-minded people. I have absolutely nothing negative to say about them.Been there many times.would love to live there.I m Norwegian Oslo person by the way 🙂
dear Norway (and Sweden)
kære Norge (og Sverige)
always a pleasure to hear what others think of little denmark
altid en fornøjelse at høre hvad andre tænker om lille danmark

Den muligheten har nok svenskene ødelagt med sin kjærlighet til islamske innvandrere.
This is from Trondheim, which is far from Denmark, so they will have less experience with Denmark and Danish, than people living further south.
I think that we in Denmark like Norway more than they like us. Norway is by far the most liked country of most Danes. Also I meet many Norwegians here in Northern Denmark, and they are always very nice, and actually easy to communicate with in danish. Maybe because that it is mostly south Norwegians that go here, and maybe we are more easy to understand than people from Copenhagen? Anyway they feel like they are the same as us. They are more into snus though.
I like Norway and Denmark. But for some reason Swedes are not very friendly to me when they find out that I'm from Russia 😔

I get it, the swedish People hated the Russians because of Finland, like they both wanted Finland, sadly Sweden lost
@@monpacie1615 lmao
It's nice to see, that norwegians like Denmark, or at least many of the people in the video. I know, lots of danes love Norway, and i am one of them. Norway has Beautiful nature, the fjords, the mountains, the nice people, and ofc the wintersport - I had my first lessons in skiing up there, even though the teacher laughed her ass off, I learned how to do skiing without biting the snow and ground all the time. And yes even though we are Nordic brothers/sisters there can be a little language barrier, but we can overcome it :D - And yes I know there was a time, when Norway was a Danish colony but thats long time ago, so lets just put that in a box and lock it off.
Thanks a lot for making this channel. It's so difficult to find any content about Norway!
I am from norway oslo. I love Denmark and the Danes. Love the Danish beaches and holiday house and much more to socialize. The Danes and Norwegians are more like humor and the Danes are more open and warm-hearted. I have been on holiday in Denmark since I was little and have family and best friends from denmark. I like Danes better than Swedes.
(I like Danes better than Swedes.) Well you just earned yourself an upvote there.
It's funny, it seems like the more south you go the more open people will be. As a person living in Denmark, I don't notice that particularly living here even though if I went to Norway maybe I would think about it. If you went further south in europe I think you'd typically find people to be even more open and warm hearted.
@ Eva Helen. We'll take that to consideration next time you cross the border (hoarding food and spirits). Danes and Finns are very popular in Sweden.
Nordic countries explained:
Denmark is the mild mother and Sweden the strict father.
Norway is the beautiful daugther and Finland the rebellious son.
Iceland is a distant cousin and Greenland an adopted child.
Peace and love to all :-)
Actually, not so bad picture you painted there.
@@tomrogerlilleby2890 As silly and as predjudice it is... :-)

It wasn't me who painted it - I read it in the comments here on youtube, and I felt somewhat like you...
Lilleby, it's SO much an outsider's view -
and sometimes they've got the best eyes ;-)
No, not the best eyes, a better view - it's just that we can't see the ground we're standing on: Our feet are blocking the view!
I'd say Sweden is the mother. They took the kids (Skåneland 😢)

They are so calm that I freak out about life outside Norway...
I found it funny that the guy said that they understand Danes better when they speak English lol
@Quarantine by the sea
there's not a lot of Danes in my part if the u.s. there is solvang, a danish town in california and I know someone of danish descent.
it's just so interesting to me how the danish language developed so differently from the other Scandinavian languages. I still think it's a beautiful language though
@@noelsamson876 Danish language sounds like someone scratching a chalkboard, it sounds worse than German
I love the Danes but they are difficult to understand. But imagine someone you know who had a stroke and one of the symptoms is slurring words/cutting ends of words. So that what Danish sounds to me.. like. Norwegian who had a stroke.
There's an old joke that says all danes speak English so they have someone to talk to.
They will understand each other after a few rounds of beer.
Apparently Norwegians like to give very short answers, without much development, it may be that they are quiet or shy, in Brazil answers like that would seem that the person wants to end the conversation
Norwegians are known to be a bit shy or timid
You're comparing complete opposites lol
Same in UK lol! Most people are friendly & LOVE to speak.
Im from Brazil and I think in my last life I was norwegian 🤷♀️
wait what? Those are considered short answers? o.o ... Guess I'll need to do some conversation training before the Brasilian in-laws come to visit 😂🙈
Denmark being more strict? In regards to laws? That's not true
Both countries are quite strict, probably equally, just in different areas imo
@ಠ_ಠ Yea Dane here, i moved too Norway for 4 years that was like the first thing i noticed, the alcohol laws. Like after 18.00 or something no beer sorry what ? A pack of 20 cigarettes. Sorry there are only 19 here.... yea that'll be 100nok... excuse me :D I know the exchange rate is lower against the dkr but still
Some laws are more strict in denmark, like weapon law :-)
She probably thought of Sweden. They are the strict and odd one of the scandinavian countries.
Thats not true at all, I am norwegian, and I think there are LESS byråkrati (dont know the word in english) in Denmark than in Norway, Norway is defently more strict, and thats sad, we have something to learn from Denmark
Scandinavia is a group of separate countries, with many different languages. In reality after a beer or 2, yea we are the same, but those guys over there sound funny but we are better... pretty much sums up Scandinavian culture xD we are all just annoying cousins too each other :D Warm flat hug from Denmark ;) Skål !
I found this is interesting. Thank you for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it

There is a very big difference in that in Denmark you are free to say what you think, but in Norway, you have to adjust to the prevailing attitudes. It is worse in Sweden, but still not good in Norway. But you shouldn't ask people in Trondheim about that. They rarely become sober enough to travel as far as Denmark.

We can have a lot of rivalry between us in sports - football, handball etc... But at the end of the day, I'm always cheering for your team, if the Danish team (*handball) is knocked out of the tournament. 🇳🇴❤️🇩🇰
As a Dane: Norwegians are tall and love our beer. They get mad when you tell them that Norwegian and Swedish sounds similar. They have a beautiful country and an awesome culture. I love seeing them on their national indepence day. They look so happy and eat a lot of sausages. They also want to share their indepence day from us with us, which is kinda trippy. I went to an international art school so I got to see the Norwegians dress up and wave their flag and get drunk every 17th of May. Did I mention they're tall as fuck?
How they ask all generations about their opinions in the video to get a better view. Appreciated!
As a norwegian, I must say we have a lot to learn from our danish brothers and sisters. We should arrange mandatory field trips for people to learn how to chill the fuck out. Danes just seem a little bit more laid back, which suits me well personally.
l love Norway and all your fjords.. l am amazed by beauty of your country and hope ll visit it again

i'm new to the channel, how come there are sometimes two norwegian subtitles?
First line is their spoken dialect, the second line is the equivalent in the official written language Bokmål
Simple Norwegian ahh i see thank you!!
Dane here, most people I know like Norway and agree that their nature is beyond amazing. Understanding norwegians depend on their dialect, I could almost perfectly understand a girl from Bergen but not a word from a guy from Tromsø. Haha.
With Tromsø you're as far apart from Denmark as you would be in Italy, so it figures.
What I’ve noticed from seeing some videos from norway or scandinavian countries in general is that people really don’t pay attention to their appearance. Not trying to be rude or say they are ugly or anything but it’s just that effortless look overall, it’s much different than here in the balkans where girls literally dress up to go to the market
Normal people don't give a fuck about how they seem to other humans
Okay but Balkans is really extreme.
Zdravo! 😉
The bigger question is: why would we? It's just going out to buy something in most cases and as long as you do not stink or look completely disgusting so to scare off other customers, the merchants won't care.
There is this saying here: "Hel & ren", which would translate to "Whole & clean" that sums up an acceptable appearance.
same in russia
same when it comes to russia
In the beginning you might need to switch mode in your perception of the words, but it really doesnt take long for a person either from Denmark or Norway to be able to understand each other perfectly. You just have to get over the surprise of the pronunciation on words and then it becomes familiar.
Funnily enough, I as a Dane found that the Moroccan guy was the most accurate because he said we are very similar and actually have very few clear differences 😂
I agree :)
To me,sweden, denmark and iceland(faroes too) are my brothers and sisters,period.
As a Norwegian, Danes are my brothers. Just remember to speak slowly to us, we Norwegians will understand Danish alot better if it's spoken in a slow fashion.

when do you use acute vowels in Norwegian?
Do you mean æ ø å? Those are normal letters.
It is rare to use acute accents to differentiate between words. I can only think of fòr (fodder), and then only in some scholarly books.
What's the difference between the two Norwegian subtitles? Nynorsk og bokmål?
One is a direct transcription of how they actually speak, using various different Norwegian dialects. The other is standard Bokmål.
I'm pretty sure 1 is danish 1 is Norwegian

@@aularound Jag håller med. (I agree)
@@aularound Helt klart.
Förutom att Jämtland och Härjedalen länge hörde till Norge, och att Trondheim var en viktig vallfärdsort för svenskar i kristen tid så verkar det också som om de första nordisktalande förhistoriska invandrarna i nuvarande svenska Norrland till största delen bestod av folk som korsade Kölen från Norgehållet.
Det verkar ha varit mer begränsad kontakt i förhistorisk tid mellan Mälardalen och Norrland på grund av de stora och förmodligen svårgenomträngliga skogarna norr om Uppsalaslätten.
Många av runstenarna i mellersta och södra Norrland är också på gammalvästnordiska, till skillnad från runstenarna i Mälardalen som främst är gammalöstnordiska. Det verkar också som att några norska vikingar tog sig ner från Trondheimssidan och stannade till i Södra Norrland innan de reste i Österled.
I was an aupair in Denmark for 2years and my host family before was very kind and they are party going. Denmark people are almost the same in Norway people very kind, the differences is the language , the way the speak.Denmark is not that expensive, Norway is😁✌.

It's true that danes can sometimes joke about horrible things, but it's never meant to hurt people's feelings or because the people condone horrible acts in any way etc. It's meant to diffuse a tense, dark, grim or depressing situation, sometimes it's better than to get too worked up, furious or unbearably sad. It's called "galgehumor" or "gallow humor" :)
4:20 ja det passer rigtig nok 😂😂
I have no idea why youtube recommended this video but here I am 😂 🤔
I find it interesting that some of the Norwegians have this myth that Denmark "took away" Greenland and the Faroe islands from them, when in reality it was just the Swedes who took Norway from Denmark *except* for Greenland and the Faroe islands. We didn't take it, we just kept it.
But still it would be more natural for these territories to be under Norwegian control, since they were settled by Norwegians and were originally part of the Norwegian Kingdom, not the Danish. They are only Danish, because Norway has never made a serious claim for them after independence.
@@abcabcboy Norway has made a serious claim actually, but was stopped by the US applying the Monroe doctrine. Look up the history of the Sirius patrol for example, it is quite interesting.
@@abcabcboy Yes they did, and lost. In the International Court in the Hague.

@Brian SandbergGerman is really nice and useful, would like to learn it sometime :) I'm working with Scandinavian customers and can understand written Norwegian and Danish because I'm already fluent in Swedish. But unfortunately can't understand speaking Danish well... 😊
Damn. I expected a bit nicer comments from some people xD... I thought because they’re both Scandinavian they would be more likely to compliment each other, but some guys seem to not mince their words when it comes to opinions about Denmark.😅
@Einherjar DK why they dislike?
@@dr.chilli399 I see it more like a sibling relationship due to the thousands of years of history. We sometimes rip on each other, but if someone criticize a Nordic country the others will come to their defence. Deep down we love each other!
Abc Abc interesting... I’m wondering why is that? Especially Germany is an important trading partner for each Scandinavian country.
@@linajurgensen4698 we don´t dislike germans. Our relationship is just more reserved, our good, friendly, polite and professional neighbours. Norway, Denmark and Sweden are more like siblings. Danes love to make jokes about Swedes and Sweden. Jokes that others might consider very rude, but we don't mean it that bad. Sweden think they are our big brother, they are not. We just consider them our stupid brother, not bigger brother. We don't make fun of norwegians. We don't look up to them, as one guy said. they are just the "cool brother". We don't make fun of germans, it's like, they are not funny, or perseived as such
totmirmis thanks for the long reply!😊
Which variant of Norwegian are they using in the video?
If you watch until the end you’ll see where their dialects are from
Yes, I can see that it‘s more than just Bokmål and Nynorsk. Crazy that they can understand one another.
So in Norway do you speak different dialects depending on the region? My great grandparents were danish so I'm trying to learn a bit more about their culture! Greetings from Argentina
Yes, we have quite a wide variety of dialects, but we share a common written language, Bokmål
We do that in danish as well. I think we have around 30 or so, but a lot of dialects are dying out. A dane can understand all dialects, except one (talking about the big ones). The southern jutland dialect is another language.
@@keanrdbropedersen1487 bornholmsk, sønderjydsk og vestjydsk er totalt uforståetligt for en sjællænder. :)
By the way, I believe most danes immediately love norwegians. And incresingly swedes as well. And I truly believe we want this to grow to invlude sll of the poeples in the world. We live in countries that are governed in a rekatively rationlal way. And who wouldn't want that?
I think Denmark is a lot like The Netherlands, in every way. Small and flat countries ... and the people of both countries are very open and friendly, bicycle culture and their languages have a guttural sound.
On the other hand, Norway and Sweden are very similar to each other ... they are colder and more arrogant people, their languages have a melodic sound and they have mountains (mostly Norway), lakes and forests.
I think people in southern Norway have a closer relationship with Danmark and more experience of going there on holiday with the ferry/boat. I have no problem understanding Danish.
I love Denmark ❤️ so Happy to be here
I thought that the language of these two countries was the same or very similar and that they had similar cultures too. Live and learning!
They are very similar, and mostly the cultures are too, with some obvious differences.
They are very similar, but some people have problems understanding the others. I think it is very easy to understand both Swedish and Norwegian, I am Danish.
🇸🇪 is next
🇷🇺 pls
And 🇩🇪 too! 😁
Brazil too
Vad tycker ni om norrlänningar
tyrkia please🙏🏻
My family immigrated to America from Norway generations ago to escape blights and famine in the mid 1800s. For generations since, we’re still told stories about how Danes were apparently just the coolest people on Earth and how Norway wasn’t that bad under Danish rule. Imagine a group of people so cool that descendants of those they ruled are still told tales of how cool said people are.
...on a side note, the stories we’re still told of the Swedes are less flattering.
Did the camera man get tired? Seems the camera is dipping more and more.

Gabby C. POR FAVOR JAJA NECESITO SU INSTAGRAM😍 y el número de teléfono si no es mucho el abuso🙈🤣
Fact (from a half Dane, half Norwegian) - Denmark and Norway are brothers and Sweden our cousin ... Denmark and Norway stands a lot closer than with Sweden.
@Brian Sandberg Swedes are from another planet
We call Sweden "Söta bror/Sweet brother" We also grew up with Swedish television. Generally Norwegians know more about Swedish politics and culture, than we do Danish. We feel more at home when in Sweden than in Denmark, much because of the landscape.
@@feedee92j ehhhh I don’t know where you live in Norway, but in Denmark and my home in Drammen, it’s not like that - Sweden is the odd man out ... :)
Fine by me (Swede) I have much more respect for the finns anyway, they're our brother, granted sort of forcefully adopted but still.
@@feedee92j Oh you grew up with Swedihs television... you do know so did the people of Estonia.
I'm from Colombia and I really enjoyed this video. I would like to know why sometimes you use two subtitles, btw all of you sound so cute and kind.
Bokmål and Nynorsk, written different ways but both are nearly identical spoken
It's because most people being interviewed have a very distinct Norwegian accent (Trondersk or others) which is pretty different from the "standard" Oslo accent, for example Æ instead of Jeg (pronoun I in English), ikkje instead of ikke, and so on. So the subtitle at the top is the verbatim transcription of what the interviewee is saying, and the one below is the transcription in standard Bokmål. Hope this helped!
@@_moose thank you for a more clear explanation. I am not Norwegian so this helps me understand as well!
Having spent 6 months in Rykkinn, the person from Bærum was the easiest for me to understand in regards to dialect. But, it’s been ten years so my ears aren’t as keen. :)
Jeg bor i Seattle, USA 😊
I am from Costa Rica, I lived in Denmark in 2017, being Latino it is a culture shock to arrive in a country like Denmark where people are so reserved and closed to new people, but even so, and although in the video they say that the Danes are more open, all the Norwegians I have met either in Denmark or Costa Rica, they have been much more open than the average dane, but maybe because they were in another country, who knows if they will be more closed in their own country!!
Also, even after living in DK for a year i still think danish is so difficult to understand haha
Brian Sandberg facts.
Danes are in general way more open and social than Norwegians so that goes against all logic for me
So what do Danes think about Norway and Norwegians?
They have no humour. Are religious and think that danes envy them or think they are just a litle bit better. Danes are more free and are able to enjoy and joke about all things in life..but maybe they see us as a drunk brother/sister to a party. But still they are brothers and sisters like Sweden. Sober or drunk. And Norway are freaking beautifull. But Denmark too. 4.300 km coast line.low and high tides And still one of the smallest countryes in the world.
@@janolsen9856interesting that you said religious lol. I happen to be religious, but I don't feel we're a very religious country in general. But maybe a little bit more so than Denmark, I don't know 🤔
Danes call Norwegians "mountain apes". That sums it up. The late Norwegian ambassador to Denmark, Thorvald Stoltenberg, used to say that "Norwegians loves Danes but tolerate the landscape and nature. Danes love the Norwegian landscape and nature, but tolerate Norwegians". Living in Denmark as a Norwegian I have found it to be somewhat true.
We like you Norway!
Expensive
Amazing nature and you are probably more outside, because you have snow and we have rmostly rain
Easier to understand than swedish
Higher pay I think
A little more relaxed and down to earth
Probably eats more fish
And I have this thought that most of you probably like Sweden more than Denmark, because your countries are closer and many understand Swedish better.
So nice video! I am from Brazil and I am quite sure that I will never be able to speak Norway! Hahahahah
Født i København, men boet i Norge 2 år. Det tar ca. 2 uger for en nordmand at forstå dansk men den første dag kæmper de imod. Der er undtagelser som f. eks nordnorsk er som at snakke med en tysker. Den største forskel er måden man fester/drikker er forskudt, så i norge starter og slutter man tidligt. Mine erfaringer i Dk var man starter "sent", men kan let være ude til 05.00 på morgenen.
