@@skuppys68thchild87 That is just not true. For an English (or germanic/indo-european) speaking person, Norwegian is one of, if not *the* easiest language you can learn.
You misunderstood a bit the celebration of the national day on 17th of May. We are not celebrating some kind of brief independence. We are celebrating that Norway got a constitution and autonomy. The Norwegian union with Sweden was a BIG STEP forward for Norwegian freedom. Denmark almost completely ruled Norway. In contrast Norway was in a union with Sweden. That means Norway had its own parliament, constitution, elections, prime minister, representatives, armed forces etc. In fact the full independence in 1905 was really a culmination of an ongoing conflict with Sweden ever since the union began where the conditions on the union was never fully established causing Norway to continuously grab more power for itself while Sweden tried to protest. Norway was quite in open defiance against Sweden by actively building up a more modern military and building up an array of fortresses on the border with Sweden despite us officially being together. Norway didn't get this autonomy because the Swedes where just being nice. It was because they got a fair amount of casualties in the war with Norway. Norway's strategy was to deal a strong enough blow against Sweden that they would sit down and negotiate favorable terms for our surrender. Norway knew it could not win against Sweden long term. They just had to convince Swedes that if they did not agree to compromise with Norway, the military conflict would get drawing out, bloody and expensive. In 1905 war was very much on the table again. Swedish conservatives wanted to attack Norway. Social democrats wanted to let Norway decide its own faith. The king of Sweden while being hurt over the Norway's desire to leave the union decided that a war with Norway was not desirable. He viewed Norwegians and Swedes as brother people's and did not want bitterness between them. So the wise king of Sweden decided it was better to let Norway go. Norwegian military while smaller was from my understanding more modern at the time. Which would have meant no easy victory for Sweden.
That's very true. Like what about Bergen, Stavanger, Trondheim, and those citys up in very North of Norway where Kids around school ages can slay fishes tongues?
He sure did but her it, at least the first sentence he said was very butchered. Went something like “good day to you to you” and didn’t sound right at all
About fact 54: The world's largest portion of Fårikål. This was an advertising stunt for the dish washing soap Yes ( One bottle of Yes was used to hand wash all the plates used to serve free Fårikål). It was created by the advertising agency Bates in Oslo (shut down after 61 years in 2015). I worked on that project. My responsibility was over seeing all the digital aspect of that event. Live streaming, banner ads and online competition. The project was a blast and very nice to get to know people who work at world Guinness records. Nice video!
Ble litt nysgjerrig hva denne videoen ville spesifikt nevne om Norge, finner det litt artig egentlig om hva folk i andre land tenker om oss. Det jeg har kommet mest borti er "You guys have winter 24-7 year round" type sak. Er bare litt artig å se.
I'm Norwegian and live in Kautokeino. I met Sir Niels a couple of years ago. It's not true what they say, "you should never meet your heroes". He was so nice and polite. He took his time answering my questions about our foreign politics, climate change and the elderly wave we are facing in a decade or two. Such a polite penguin!
@ᴍᴀʀɪᴜs s I rather use "Lykke" as "Happiness", and "Hell" as "Luck" because it's closely tied to "Heldig", while "Lykke" is too close to "Lykkelig" for me to shake the association.
Fact about the river is that in West part of the river called it akerselven as they emulated the language from the danish, which shows that They are educated. The East side of the river calls it Akerselva as They were the working class who rarely were educated so They used dialects and accent used by their family
If you are going to make a point of how norwegians pronounce their countrys name, why wouldnt you spend two minutes googling the true pronounciation?!? For anyone outside Norway watching this: all norwegian words in this video sound nothing like they should. And more than half of the images used have nothing to do with Norway. Except most of the black and white photographs and some google maps screenshots. Oh, and that one picture of the Bergen docks.

Men han gjorde faktisk et poeng utav hvor annerledes vi sa Norge/Noreg og la det frem som om han visste hvorsan det egentlig skulle sies, og da kunne han googlet uttalen og fått den lest opp først. Eller bare sagt at det høres veldig annerledes ut.
hahaha I love when you try to talk norwegian😂 You should have mentioned the northern light. And the time we have without the sun in North Norway every winter
Some interesting facts: Norway held out longer than France in WWII. Nazi-Germany did also suffer their first defeat in the battle of Narvik. And Jøkulkyrkja in Queen Mauds land is actually Norways tallest mountain (3150 meters)
Jøkulkyrkja is both Norwegian and not. The south pole can politically not be rules by any nation even though it's split up between some nations at the moment. All depending on the definition is it a cool fun fact.
based on the norwegian war heroes: my great grandmother's brother escorted many jews from norway to sweden, but was snitched on by one of his old classmates and died in a concentration camp.
It always pissed me off when i was little, going on school trips to Oslo. Everyone could climb onto the tiger but i was just too small... hurts me till this day XD
I love simple people. And yeah, I love Norwegians 🇧🇻. They deserve all the love and fascination from around the world. Sending love from the land in the Pacific Ring of Fire 🇵🇭
the spelling of “akerselva/akerselven” has to do with east and west oslo accents. there i maaaaany accents and dialects in norway. different from one valley to the next. so we probably have 100s to thousands of pronounciations of “akerselva” or any word for that matter!
Well actuallyyyyyy Norwegian was not similar to danish and Swedish until it started to change around 1350 they basically spoke the same as Iceland and the fearoe islands which was old Norse or something
bob bobben I don’t know the exact years and stuff but I know that Norway, Iceland and the Fareo islands spoke something similar and Denmark and Sweden spoke some shit, then Denmark colonized Norway and they started speaking Middle Norwegian or some shit. I meant that Norwegian ppl spoke a language kinda similar to icelandic. If ur an expert on this stuff I’m not gonna say you’re wrong, I learned this in school and I don’t really know how much my teachers know about this stuff. So yeah I’ve been told this in school but if it’s wrong my school is to blame
Oh and btw "Gods-expedition" is the name of the train line, where "gods" means "parcel" or "goods" in norwegian. And Hell comes from the Norse word for cliff cave.
Hello! Awsome video! Ur getting the heng of 🇳🇴 Everything u said was right! I think.. im from norway and your actually really good at speaking norwegian and you almost know more of norway than me! Epic video btw keep that amazing work up!!!
When you spoke about Akevitt I was happy to see the distillery I previously worked for, the blue background picture. oslo handverksdestilleri. I'm an Englishman living out here. The picture was taken by some English friends. Good work
I love how much effort u put into finding all the information, and I love how u pronounce the words wrong as well. This is gold:D I’m really sorry but we Norwegians think this is hilarious when you speak Norwegian. But still I loved the vid:D
Emil Moen Nja, vil nå heller si at ungdomskolen i min tid handlet mer om analysering av romaner og ulike noveller, enn å lære ting innad i Norge. Systemet er på bedringens vei nå, men vi lærer forsatt mye dritt som er helt unødvendig. Vil si jeg har følget godt med kompis :)
No direct ancestry, but I have been to Norway twice. I have sailed into or out of the fjords, and flown from city to city there. Beautiful scenery, both on the water, and on the land.
Me wishing that the international "å": "aa" can be pronounced correctly. Foneticaclly it is the same sound you make when you say either wall, war, board, thought, etc. Haakon or Håkon is pronounced with that fonetic vocal sound. some of these facts are fun to discover, as I didn't know all of this :) thank you for sharing with us
It’s hilarious walking around the streets and seeing tourists with huge jackets and many other layers while I’m just walking around with a denim jacket and t-shirt
I love how this guy hasn’t even bothered using google translate to check the pronunciation of the norwegian words. Gave me a few chuckles. Nyorsk is now my new favourite word. Closely followed by norj
I don't know if this is a particularly Norwegian thing, but I just LOVE when foreign people make videos about Norway and or Norwegians. More often than not it's hilarious. Bokmål = Book Language. Nynorsk = New Norwegian. Bokmål is pronounced [ˈbuːkmɔːl] in English which sounds kinda like "boohkmawl". In eastern Norwegian it's pronounced [ˈbûːkmoːl] which sounds kinda the same, but with a Norwegian accent. When or if people complain or comment on my English not being perfect, I always tell them that I surely speaks English a whole lot better than they speak Norwegian, and they can come back and complain about my English when they speak as good Norwegian. Norwegian is supposedly an easy language to learn for English speaking people compared to most other, because they are both Germanic languages and it features a lot of cognates (words you'll recognize) and much of the grammar and word order are the same. This guy seems to make 101 facts videos about most every country, so it's unfair to judge his pronunciation of words In the different languages, and unlike what we Norwegians like to think, Norway and the Norwegian language is pretty insignificant as such. But hey, he got "Galdhøpiggen" pretty good there. Rather than being offended or whatever about his pronunciation, I was actually rather impressed with him getting pretty much all the facts right. Not too many "this or that about Norway"-videos accomplishes that, and I can only imagine the work and research needed in order to dig up and verify 101 facts about a country you probably have no relation to and not really think about too much as such. Apart, however, from anyone being able to go and live on Svalbard. There are strict rules, and even for a Norwegian it's very hard to get to move to Svalbard to live there. You have to be employed to work there in advance or at least be able to support yourself, for instance. And, of course, you have to have a place to live. There's not too many free apartments there, so to speak. Not being part of Schengen, you actually have to be able to identify yourself with a Passport too, even if that's just a formality, and even Norwegians have to be able to identify themselves, albeit with a driving licence or other official Norwegian identification papers until we get the new national ID card, which then becomes the only viable identification means in addition to passports. All people from all the worlds countries having the same right to move and live on Svalbard doesn't mean those rights aren't strict and moving there aren't difficult - even for Norwegians. There are many rules and regulations there, like having to have an alcohol card in order to be able to purchase alcohol, and you are in some instances required to carry a firearm weapon due to Polar bears roaming around. As for getting facts right, Viking do actually come from old Norse víkingr (marauder, piracy) which came from old Norse vik (creek, inlet, bay) and old English wīc (camp) + -ing (“one belonging to, one who frequents”). Thus, “one from or who frequents the sea's inlets”. The Vikings were actually called "Rus people" or "Rus Vikings" back then, and their settlements around Novgorod, Kiev and the Volga and Dnieper gave rise to the Russian principalities. However, Viking was then something you did more than something you were, which was called Vikingr. You went Viking, meaning you went to Ireland or some place and killed, burned and stole all gold and valuables, and took the surviving people for slaves, most for selling at slave markets, but also to keep themselves as what we called "trells". First then you became a Vikingr. As for skiing, we like to say that we are born with skis on our feet, and the word "ski" is actually one of three distinct Norwegian words which are the same in all languages. The other two is troll and fjord. There were actually a couple of things I didn't know myself, being a Norwegian and all.
I know you probably spent a lot of time creating this video, and trust me there is nothing Norwegians love more than to see someone talk about their country, but If you were gonna improve one part of this i would suggest spending two minutes googling the pronounciation of the words you’re trying to say. I don’t expect you to be fluent or anything but knowing that the literal name of our country is not one syllable should not be to hard to figure out
you Norwegians are so lucky to have a country this beautiful and majestic, this is coming out from an American, I really can't wait til that day come for me to possibly live there, greetings from USA Norway, without you guys actually finding america we would still be living europe.
Well, our constitution was also written by rich old men, and I have to admit we got quite lucky with our rich old men. That said, we can't take much credit for the landscape, but our society is shaped by the choices taken by our leaders now and in our past. )

Thomas Hatteland jeg tror ikke du fulgte med, jeg går i åttendeklasse og jeg har visste om det.
Du kunne bare @ han
Emil Moen Nja, vil nå heller si at ungdomskolen i min tid handlet mer om analysering av romaner og ulike noveller, enn å lære ting innad i Norge. Systemet er på bedringens vei nå, men vi lærer forsatt mye dritt som er helt unødvendig. Vil si jeg har følget godt med kompis :)
Han sa Hafrsfjord som alle andre turister: Hafrsfjord. Havsfjord er folkemunne.
I always assumed that one of pokemon movie scene from sinnoh was based on the sognefjorden in the scene with shaymin driving a boat on a huge fjord
Random fact: When you were born, you were, for a moment, the youngest person on Earth. 🌍👶
And the oldest person on earth can't say "Ok boomer" to anyone
Whats the point of begging for likes like this?
People always wonder where they go after death, but nobody ever wonders where they were before they were born.

Me wishing that the international "å": "aa" can be pronounced correctly. Foneticaclly it is the same sound you make when you say either wall, war, board, thought, etc. Haakon or Håkon is pronounced with that fonetic vocal sound. some of these facts are fun to discover, as I didn't know all of this :) thank you for sharing with us

I live close to hell, and let me tell you: We're happy to get more than 10 degrees celsius NOW...
Im surprised he didn’t mention the tacos thing.
Why didn’t Russia win the winter war
They couldn’t cross the FINNISH line
Underrated
Well, actually they DID cross the Finnish line. And they did win the Winter War.
So your joke was about as failed is it could possible get.
I don't know if this is a particularly Norwegian thing, but I just LOVE when foreign people make videos about Norway and or Norwegians. More often than not it's hilarious.
Bokmål = Book Language. Nynorsk = New Norwegian.
Bokmål is pronounced [ˈbuːkmɔːl] in English which sounds kinda like "boohkmawl". In eastern Norwegian it's pronounced [ˈbûːkmoːl] which sounds kinda the same, but with a Norwegian accent.
When or if people complain or comment on my English not being perfect, I always tell them that I surely speaks English a whole lot better than they speak Norwegian, and they can come back and complain about my English when they speak as good Norwegian.
Norwegian is supposedly an easy language to learn for English speaking people compared to most other, because they are both Germanic languages and it features a lot of cognates (words you'll recognize) and much of the grammar and word order are the same.
This guy seems to make 101 facts videos about most every country, so it's unfair to judge his pronunciation of words In the different languages, and unlike what we Norwegians like to think, Norway and the Norwegian language is pretty insignificant as such. But hey, he got "Galdhøpiggen" pretty good there.
Rather than being offended or whatever about his pronunciation, I was actually rather impressed with him getting pretty much all the facts right. Not too many "this or that about Norway"-videos accomplishes that, and I can only imagine the work and research needed in order to dig up and verify 101 facts about a country you probably have no relation to and not really think about too much as such. Apart, however, from anyone being able to go and live on Svalbard. There are strict rules, and even for a Norwegian it's very hard to get to move to Svalbard to live there. You have to be employed to work there in advance or at least be able to support yourself, for instance. And, of course, you have to have a place to live. There's not too many free apartments there, so to speak. Not being part of Schengen, you actually have to be able to identify yourself with a Passport too, even if that's just a formality, and even Norwegians have to be able to identify themselves, albeit with a driving licence or other official Norwegian identification papers until we get the new national ID card, which then becomes the only viable identification means in addition to passports. All people from all the worlds countries having the same right to move and live on Svalbard doesn't mean those rights aren't strict and moving there aren't difficult - even for Norwegians. There are many rules and regulations there, like having to have an alcohol card in order to be able to purchase alcohol, and you are in some instances required to carry a firearm weapon due to Polar bears roaming around.
As for getting facts right, Viking do actually come from old Norse víkingr (marauder, piracy) which came from old Norse vik (creek, inlet, bay) and old English wīc (camp) + -ing (“one belonging to, one who frequents”). Thus, “one from or who frequents the sea's inlets”. The Vikings were actually called "Rus people" or "Rus Vikings" back then, and their settlements around Novgorod, Kiev and the Volga and Dnieper gave rise to the Russian principalities. However, Viking was then something you did more than something you were, which was called Vikingr. You went Viking, meaning you went to Ireland or some place and killed, burned and stole all gold and valuables, and took the surviving people for slaves, most for selling at slave markets, but also to keep themselves as what we called "trells". First then you became a Vikingr.
As for skiing, we like to say that we are born with skis on our feet, and the word "ski" is actually one of three distinct Norwegian words which are the same in all languages. The other two is troll and fjord.
There were actually a couple of things I didn't know myself, being a Norwegian and all.
Oh yeah, and we invented Black Metal, and Trolls come from Norway.
Do Denmark next Sam, but reach out to 'Lemmino' first and do a collaboration. :D
Lemmino is Swedish though
@@chriscanty7486 Yeah but he hates Denmark so it would be funny. :)
Baalsrud is captain norway, war hero, frozen in ice and has red white and blue colors. Hes Captain Norway
I know you probably spent a lot of time creating this video, and trust me there is nothing Norwegians love more than to see someone talk about their country, but If you were gonna improve one part of this i would suggest spending two minutes googling the pronounciation of the words you’re trying to say. I don’t expect you to be fluent or anything but knowing that the literal name of our country is not one syllable should not be to hard to figure out
Apparently my great grandfather's brother went to America sometime during the 1920s, but at some point he was killed when he was hit by a train

Well, our constitution was also written by rich old men, and I have to admit we got quite lucky with our rich old men.
That said, we can't take much credit for the landscape, but our society is shaped by the choices taken by our leaders now and in our past. )
