As a Norwegian I absolutely hate the darkness. It saps so much energy. It is probably the worst thing about living in Norway. But spring time, especially getting into may preparing for celebration of our national day on 17th of May feels amazing. There is a special feeling watching things turn green, starting to hear the birds in the trees and seeing the sunlight flood the landscapes. I have spent so much of my life trying to find an alternative place to live than Norway, just because of this darkness. Unfortunately there are many things I love about Norway which I cannot find elsewhere which is mentioned here. I love the trust between people, the safety (I have children), and how you get a lot of trust at work and have a good relation with the boss. I have lived in the US and the Netherlands and considered both places for moving. The Netherlands was probably the country I liked the most. But they kind of replaced the darkness with tons of rain. I love Netherlands a LOT and try to go back there every year, but what was negative for me was that salaries are a lot lower there than Norway and housing standards etc is not quite as high. Houses are older and smaller. It is kind of an overcrowded country even if the Dutch did an amazing job at making such a small country really nice to live in. With the US I cam crossing my fingers that maybe Bernie Sanders can make it a little bit more Scandinavian. That would make me want to move over there ;-)
It’s really nice to hear all of your feedback after staying there. Definitely encourages me more and more stay in Norway every time I was your vids! Before your channel I didn’t have much of an idea of what it would be like so now I feel a little more confident haha thank you for sharing your experience!
I think my favourite Norwegian word is "bil", our word for car. I never really thought about its origin, but then I realised that they took the loan word "automobil", obviously figured it was too long for everyday speech, and shortened it by just keeping the last syllable. It's like if English ended up calling refridgerators "tors".
you can technically drink alcohol from the day u are born in Norway, because there are no laws that says its a punishable offence to drink alcohol when u are under 18 or 21(liquor). its only illegal to sell or provide alcohol to someone under the age limit. so if you are under 18 and drink alcohol, you will not get a punishment of kind(fines or prison)
@@SURFpal I live here. West coast warm to be Winther. North Norway also warm to be in winter time . But realy much snow up north in Finnmark and Troms. I did live in Harstad for one year back in 1978 , to coldest we had was ÷18°c. But on the innland we had ÷34°C . Far away from this tempraturs this winter.
Not really far away: Inlands Last 13 months , the temperature varied from -29.8° to +26.0° www.yr.no/en/statistics/graph/1-294783/Norway/Troms%20og%20Finnmark/Senja/Senja
En viktig grunn til at Norge er et rikt land er dette med tillit. Du er forventet å kunne ta dine egne avgjørelser og ikke spør sjefen din om alt eller vente på lov til å få gjøre noe. Det gjør at arbeidslivet er mye mer effektivt.
Be careful what you 'learn' about countries from media or from people raised by those media. Make it a habit to check alternatives. Maybe a red hat is the best for everyone?
why does the pretty german girl on the right keep staring into my soul? im uncomfortable LOL, great vid, should have done this when i was an exchange student in Idaho
Originally gay in English meant 'fun-loving, so that is probably correct. Homosexuals taking the word for their own is a newer meaning, maybe since the 50s or 60s.
@@helenesellereite3292 On second though, I might have been mistaken. I always thought it was the same word as 'gay' because of the similar meanings, but my etymological dictionary says 'gøy' is from Guy, as in Guy Fawkes.
Wow, impressed with the Norwegian skills. Also fun to see how Allison speaks in a dialect!
Yeah, and all the others speak in an Eastern Norwegian dialect. :)
The French girl speaks really good Norwegian! She sounds like a native speaker to me.
She sounds like a native English speaker as well. Very impressive.
Abc Abc +🇳🇱 the netherlands :)))
I was about to say the same thing. Her English is really good. Almost make me wounder if she has been studying at an international school in .fr
The German girl in the blue shirt speaks Norwegian with a perfect accent, the French girl is good but the German is better
Ok that's stretching it. The german girl in blue is very good though.
Don't know how long u guys have been learning the language but that intro was pretty impressive. Great pronunciation all around.
I was impressed by their attitude and intelligence. A heart-warming little video to stumble over.

Bra video som alltid. Var spesielt interessant å høre hvordan dere sammenlignet Norge med USA.♥️♥️

So funny to hear the contrast between northern speak and southern.
Especially if you swear.
Northerners are known to be more colorful in the language that way :-)

I think she actually said Skøy not Gøy but basically they mean the same, its just various dialects. :-)

Gøy is actually a loanword from the English gay.

Helene Sellereite Gönn dir Helene
Norway dont have so many loanwords from English.
