@@gregoryamato8693 But "skål' isn't Old Norse. It's origins "skalli" meant "bald head". So it's the stupid Swedish that screwed it up in the first place.
You're totally right about the use of language in Scandinavia not having regressed into this 'inflated meaninglessness'. I grew up in Australia and lived in Finland/regularly traveled to Scandinavia for a few years - it was so refreshing to speak to people who didn't hesitate to just say what they were thinking, even if it was something bland. I'm convinced that this helps people to stay in touch with their nature because it keeps your consciousness in the present moment and closer to truth. On the contrary the more small talk and niceties said, the more these norms can stifle the development of the actual content of the conversation. Cool channel I like your stuff!
Is that where it comes from? I have Norse ancestry and it drives me insane when people ask how i am when they don't really care. They expect to hear "fine". I had one lady just stopped asking and changed her greeting to "good to see you". So sad people don't want to be human anymore. Don't ask the question if you don't want the answer. Say what you mean and mean what you say.
@@albertcardenas9756 I'm learning Norwegian. There's still subtle way for women to be women but I don't think they use it as often as other occidental women. Norwegians actually try to be quite clear about what they wanna say wich is kind of cool cuz as a suspected autistic person I don't get all the nonsense occidentals do with their language. *from the little russian I managed to learn I think slavic people are like that too.
In a way it seems like "Skål" is more like the German "Prost" than the English "Cheers". Instead of being used as a common greeting it is really used more for drinking and has actual meaning.
I've heard skál/skål as a greeting when I was last in Denmark, it is one of the only mutually intelligible words between Danish and Icelandic. Danes are never far from booze anyhow.
No you havent.... Unless its a greeting with consumption of alkohol directly involved in the greeting.... I have been danish my whole life and never heard skål being used as a greeting. Danish greetings are Hej, goddag, goddaw, hvaså fuckfjæs, etc...
No it did happen. A Dane ask me something in gibberish, I told him I was Icelandic and he replied: "ah skål, do you have a lighter?". Besides, have you heard this joke? Tveir danir ganga framhjá krá
@@TheOneCalledSloth That is no joking matter, you don't walk past a pub! Btw, have you ever seen how norwegians and swedes behave when the are in denmark, its like letting small kids loose in a candy store! It hurts my soul that a danish person would use skål like that, its gibberish. Clearly he must be on the negative influence of internet.
It's really entertaining how you directly address the issue using an accent and intonation very similar to the Transatlantic Accent while also also sorta having the look of a daddy from the 1950s
I never heard the term until 2015 when I became an administrator in the U.S. Military and learned this in a protocol manual. It was a quick FAQ section to international toasts.
There definitely are a lot of fools and fakes out there but if you look in the right place many people are sincere when they say it even if it isn't in this hipsters view right. Mostly they will likely be actual norse pagans ect. You will find actual norse pagans are quite welcoming of questions in my experience.
On “linguistic promiscuity” of English, with respect to greetings, becoming meaningless and stripped from their context, I think this is a largely American-English phenomenon. In British English when someone asks “how are you?” an answer is still expected, even if typically the expected response is the deflection “fine thanks, you?”. “Cheers” is likewise only for toasting, or in certain regions, in place of “thank-you”. The Anglo Saxon / Old English “Ƿes þū hāl” / “with you (be) health” is appropriate as a greeting (as used in Beowulf) and as a toast - in both cases wishing health to the other person. This is the root of the somewhat archaic gesture of “drink to your health”. So peculiarly the OE version of “hello” and “cheers” are interchangeable (even though they definitely are not in mod. Eng). It’s possible this idea bled across from Anglo Saxon reenactors to the Vikings, and so you have us to blame.
Wes þū hāl, is literally "Be thou whole" because wes is in the singular imperative. If it was "with you be health", then it would be "Mid þē wes hǣle", thus the 'you' taking the dative case. It would be like saying translated back into today's English "with to you be health". "Be health" wouldn't make much sense back then for someone to be Health. It would make sense if it was something like Hǣle þē (Health to you). Hāl evolved into Hale and Whole which was an adjective in the phrase Wes þū hāl. Other Germanic languages of the time had more or less the same greeting. Even today in Southern Germany, they still say Heil/Heile as a greeting, probably from Old High German "Heil wis".
Brackets in wrong place, but it should have been clear I was paraphrasing. The critical point is “healthy” one, which I chose as a translation of “hāl” (and then admittedly butchered the syntax) rather than “whole” as the latter conveys little meaning in the context of this gesture given the modern word has divested its meanings beyond “undivided”. The AS ever lovers of wordplay and dual-meaning, the (then) branching meanings of the word may have underpinned its multiple uses, though I’d suggest the related language cognates would seem to indicate that healthiness (or holiness) was the main intention of the gesture and not that the interlocutor be “undivided”.
In Norwegian there is none, though I guess the Swedish "tjenare" comes close. But that's never used when toasting or saying thanks, only as an informal greeting.
The sad thing is that there are many Americans who do not use that term adversely and cringe when the term 'viking' is used for Norse culture. It is disheartening when we are 'lumped in' with the fad fools who run amok without educating themselves.

Tusen takk. I'm in a few vikings/norse mythology groups and I use to think it was a greeting...until I started to learn Norwegian and learned that it was a way to say something like "cheers" WHEN YOU'RE ACTUALLY DOING A BLOODY TOAST. Looks like a bunch of Trek Yahoo evolved from loving Klingons to loving vikings and thought "skål" was the equivalent of "Quapla" (that is use in pretty much all context) and started polluting those page with an over (and most of the time innapropriate) usage of "skål". So yeah as a Norwegian student I find it pretty much as annoying as it must be for you guys.
This is the first of your videos that I’ve watched but you seem fairly knowledgeable. Do you have any views or opinions or knowledge on genetic memory and if so is there anything that might be I’m not quite sure words to use but some sort of connection in belief to the old pre-Christian Norse.
As an American who's in a few FB groups that discuss the Norse Gods and Goddesses and what have you, sköl is used in a disgustingly stupid amount. I agree with you, if you're not drinking or 'toasting' to someone or something, don't say it.
This is funny because I mainly know Skal thru Karl Ove Knausgaard's depictions of drinking in his younger years and thus I came to think of it as something young cultured and slightly snobby Norwegian's said.
Thanks for the info! Dig your attitude! My great Grandfather came to the US from Sweden in the early 1900's. Nothing was easy for him. He was on his own at 15. He loved baseball and a beer! Skal Grandfathers!🍺

It's been like this for decades, but for the past ten years it has only gotten worse. History Channel and its consequences have been disaster for the human race etc.
Should I start yelling "horn!"? I feel like that will lead to more confusion in certain company. I think Skol is an easy word to exclaim. Like in Blot saying "heil" doesn't have the smoothness coupled with the hard consonant.

Just cause someone wears an amulet dosnt make them a fraud or playing at paganism. Every person is at a different point. This guy is a jack ass. His little threat at the end is adorable. If you simply wish to appreciate the culture then wear an amulet if you so choose but remember they can have power. I wear a mjolnir that I made myself in the woods in a fire. It has power and represents what I belive. There are many videos on you tube to help you learn about the norse pagan ways and the old Gods.
