I have been wondering how my Norwegian great-grandparents sounded when they spoke English after immigrating to the US over 100 years ago. Your video has certainly given me some clues. Thank you for making this video.
So I got here because I have an audition for a Norwegian character. Thank you for letting me know how many different accents are spoken in Norway, and that everyone in Norway seems to be insane.
Lmao I’m here doing research for a DND campaign involving Peer Gynt. I want to make his voice distinguishable. My heart wants to go Scottish but my brain demands accuracy.
My grandpa was from Oslo and he talked like this: Yah, vell, I tink I haff a little bit mo of dat kahfee, mama (his wife/grandma Bakke). Almost everything seemed to start with yah, vell.....
i wasn't expecting that at all ...this sudden change of your voice not only the pronunciation but it was also very artistic the way you were changing characters! I was waiting for the last part to watch your real character! I would chose Bergen beacouse I like rain! greetings from Greece!
As an American who has some Norwegian cousins and ancestors, this is really interesting, not to mention funny! I get that it is not meant to be serious but their is definitely a ring of truth to it. Well done, Stan! And you didn't even crack a smile, a hallmark of the best comics....
Hilarious! "They own a lot of reindeer they sound very relaxed, and the reason they sound so very relaxed, is because all the winter is so very long, so they just keep on waiting for the summer to arrive, and then finally, when the summer arrives, they just start then to for the winter to come back again so they can drive their snow scooter". ha ha ha!
This video was interesting. I'm from Northern Minnesota USA. We are mostly Norwegian Swedish, Finish and German. The accents sound most like the Oslo accent where I live. There are a lot of different accents in Minnesota, especially in the older Generation. My great Grandmas first language was Norwegian. My great great grandparents on the other side of the family immigrated from Seim Norway to South Dakota. That side of the family sounds most like the Bergen impression. It's funny how long the accents stick around.
***** To be fair, the accents in the video are very exaggerated. I highly doubt you'll ever run into an actual Norwegian who has that thick of an accent :)
I used your Bergen accent to portray Nordahl Grieg, author of Til Ungdommen, discussing his life and then performing the song with the music by Otto Mortensen. Thanks!
My dad's parents came from Norway. Grandma svanee came from alesund and Grandpa angel came from Bergen I think. He was 20 years older than her born in 1897 came to Canada 1906 by himself. Joined Canadian army sappers 1914 and was at messines and worked on the mine. Mustered out 1919. Worked for CP rail the rest of his life and was in 3 train wrecks. Died in 1964 right after my older brother was born. Grandma went in 1983. She had 7 siblings so we have lots of family still there. Great video thanks!
😂 I've never been to Norway (I'm from the US), but my great grandparents came from Trøndheim and all of my elderly relatives still have a thick Trøndheim accent. This made my day.
Very interesting video! I came here out of curiosity to hear how Norway's countrymen sound like because I met my love online and he was raised in Norway and has an accent still currently living in Chicago. He is shy to talk on the telephone and I have yet to hear him speak on the telephone! So I really wonder now which accent he was raised with. Either way I'll learn to love the way he speaks. Love conquers all. Thx for video.
I'm from Bergen the place where pepole have at least 4 umbrellas each. I think I might have 5 umbrellas (that are working, we also have lots of wind here), pluss having 2 pairs of rain boots, and to top it all of 4 of my jakkets are wather proof, lol.
Thanks for this. I’m listening to an audiobook and the female character is supposed to be someone who has lived in Oslo for many years, but has Danish parents. But her accent sounds completely German. I knew she wasn’t doing it right. Thank you for sharing! Fun video.
i have to go on a trip to norway soon and i'll find out what the language is like there beforehand. fantastic video idea. being from germany, it reminds me a lot of our north/south dialect bias. helped me alot
very interesting; i know its been a lot of time since you uploaded this, i am gaming with a player from Norway and i am doing some research to just understand that player not necessarily because of the accent but the background all around; thank you for this vid
Så bra! Jeg elsker Norge. My family comes from Narvik , pretty far north. I laughed so hard when you started talking of the Sami people because I have some cousins that Joik and have reindeer too 😆👍.
I'm moldavian but I live in Italy since I was ten (I'm 18) and the first time when speak in English with my New Zelander friend she said me that I have a norvegian accent 😅 I found this video and now I'm proud of my norvegian accent 😂😂😂 This is the best English norvegian video ever 👍 (Sorry for my English)
Haha cool :) I think it`s cool when people from other countries watch some of my videos and give me positiv feeback :) Thank you :) PS: I think your English is good :)
Im British and I was very impressed with how well Norwegians spoke English when I visited Oslo/Tønsberg. I wish I knew how to speak this laņuage, all I know is "Tok." The north of Norway sounds like the Viking show slightly. Interesting video. 👍
That was a great impersonation, Stian! You are very talented - I say “are” but that was 10 years ago! I’m also chuckling at Nedrejord which means, if I’m not wrong, something like Underworld, right? But Valhalla is up there, not down below (in Australia) now, is it? 😬😄 Now I’ll watch Part 2. Takk så mye min venn! Det var jätteroligt (jaja, I know, I taught myself svenska rather than norsk, but it works either way: they understood me in Norge!) Ha det bra og takk igjen!
Opp Ned True! I have been to Bergen many times and only once did it rain! But Bergen has a rumor that it always rain there so felt that I needed to include that in the video x)
You blew my mind with the Kristiansand impersonation. I did an internship in Oslo not long ago, and there was a guy who worked in the same building I did who said he was from Kristiansand. Sounded EXACTLY like that, not a single thing different about it. Wow.

You’re welcome, and yes we are 😂
*tord has joined the chat*
I got here because I have a Norwegian character in a book I'm writing!
Nooo, only two languages and Norwegian people are actually reserved.Why do you say they are insane??

Hes is saying : Oh well, I think I have a little bit more of that coffee, mama. ♥

The Norwegian accent is my favorite, because they are usually very sing-songy.

Well done, Stan! And you didn't even crack a smile, a hallmark of the best comics....
David Gilbertson Thank you! I am glad you liked it.
I don't speak like that..
@@inaexity thats what she said
BAHHAH justin bieber almost ruined oslo

I'm going to Norway in October. Can't wait. I'll be visiting Bergen and Stavangaargh!
What about Hell?
Yeah, Visit Hell.
Stavanger.. Excact
I know this was meant to be a comedy video. But it is actually legitimately accurate.

+Phillip Bannowsky Cool! I watched the video and it was interesting :)
Oh my god!!! You could be a stand up comedian. I laughed so hard.
This was really interesting, really enlightening and really funny. One of the best things I've seen on RUclips for ages! Stan - you are stunning!
+Colin Ormesher Haha! Thank you so much! Very glad you liked it ;)
Your Oslo accent almost sounds like Welsh people speaking English.
Nox Aternum haha! yeah it does :)
+Nox Aternum The stavanger accent sounds like the German Comedian HENNING WEHN
Chris Palmer I've always found his accent slightly strange, he doesn't sound like a lot of Germans one hears in the media etc.
+Stunning Stan Kautokeino accent is a bit similar to Finnish accent in English in my ears
Danielle Baden-Powell Yes it is! Probably because kautokeino is very close to finland :)

This made my day.
Trondheim*
We don't sound like that at all. But search up "Rune Nilson Engelsk" instead
Hahahah, lost my shit når du kom til Stavanger-dialekta. :D
Stavanger e best
@@henrikduffgausdal4551 esj nei
The Trondheim accent made me laugh because it sounds like it’s being spoken while extremely drunk.
It was the worst one

Were you cat fished or did buddy decide to talk on the phone and stop being sketchy?
I'm crying. THANK YOU FOR ALMOST RUINING OSLO I'M CRYING du er helt fantastisk. Elsker norsk engelsk xDDDDDD but it's also cringe worthy sometimes.
410kyomukan Haha! Thank you very much :D I am glad you liked the video :D
***** HAHA I couldn't even understand the trondheim one, this video is hilarious
Bianca Armani Haha x) Thank you :)
Trønderdialekten var ganske elendig i forhold til resten men morsomt uansett xP

+Marie Prestegård Hahha x) Don`t know how many times I have been to Bergen. Lovely city!
***** Yes it is, and because of all the rain everyone is smiling when the sun choose to show it self, like today. Do you live in Norway?
+Marie Prestegård Haha yeah :) Jepp. I am a norwegian, and I live 2 hours away from Stavanger :)
***** Har noe familie som bor i Stavanger, eller rettere sagt på Bryne, er fint der også.
My Dad(from Bergen) and my husband(a Norlander) sound somewhat like this. I love it!!
Thanks for this. I’m listening to an audiobook and the female character is supposed to be someone who has lived in Oslo for many years, but has Danish parents. But her accent sounds completely German. I knew she wasn’t doing it right. Thank you for sharing! Fun video.
All these are so spot on 😂, helt utrolig bra laga
The bit about the rain filling the tanks killed me, funny stuff in here! Thanks for the vid, will help a ton while learning this accent.
i have to go on a trip to norway soon and i'll find out what the language is like there beforehand.
fantastic video idea. being from germany, it reminds me a lot of our north/south dialect bias.
helped me alot
Oh, MY.. The Bergen one is so ACCURATE! I'm impressed!! :)
Tuvut Loves Minecraft Haha thanks :) I have been in Bergen many times, lovely city :)

Funny! My grandparents came from Trønndelag in 1902. 65 year old lady from Minnesota

This is absolutely spot on, exactly how people in Oslo speak, I thought it was just me that noticed 😂
Great! While I was watching this video I checked the weather in Bergen, and it was raining. =)
SmallRealm Haha! They probably needed more water in the aquariums :)
No need to check, it always is lol
I'm recording a book in which I have to do a Norwegian speaking English. And this nailed it for me.. thanks so much!
Sounds cool! Glad you liked the video :)
I can't understand that much of what he's saying but in any accent his English is a lot better than my non-existent Norwegian.😊
Så bra! Jeg elsker Norge. My family comes from Narvik , pretty far north. I laughed so hard when you started talking of the Sami people because I have some cousins that Joik and have reindeer too 😆👍.
Thank you. It’s nice to know how they sound.
Having come from the Simple Norwegian youtube channel, which is All Things Trondheim, I had a good laugh. Thanks!
I'm moldavian but I live in Italy since I was ten (I'm 18) and the first time when speak in English with my New Zelander friend she said me that I have a norvegian accent 😅 I found this video and now I'm proud of my norvegian accent 😂😂😂

Thanks so much for making these videos! I need them for a job interview.
Glad you like them ;)
How did it go?
Trondheim is 11/10 - had a good uni mate from there!
I don'y know if it was improv or scripted but this was very funny
I'm here because I started seen Norseman and I loved that accent I think is hilarious. Good video, really funny
the deal with the people responsible for the oil being so angry is the same in canada lol
Hahaha xD
Canada is also responsible for all the maple syrup ;) You also got hockey games, ay?
Literally Alberta oh my god
Im British and I was very impressed with how well Norwegians spoke English when I visited Oslo/Tønsberg. I wish I knew how to speak this laņuage, all I know is "Tok." The north of Norway sounds like the Viking show slightly. Interesting video. 👍
Also, got to add that the third and fourth accent you did sounds very similar to the Irish accent!
hahaha.......love it. very informative. i think i knoe which part of norway my fam came from how you spoke.
OMG You have a talent here.
I have watched these videos times over. A+
I had a great laugh!
That was a great impersonation, Stian! You are very talented - I say “are” but that was 10 years ago! I’m also chuckling at Nedrejord which means, if I’m not wrong, something like Underworld, right? But Valhalla is up there, not down below (in Australia) now, is it? 😬😄

+elegantruin Thank you :) Haha! Just practice every morning xD
Shoutout for stavanger akksenten xD

I finally know that my Norwegian prof does not intentionally speaks in a cute way
Exatamente assim!
surprisingly accurate... nice job!
Thank you!
dette er så morsomt! Elsket det!! Great job!!
Omg the joiking. I died. 😭😂😹
The first few of these sound remarkably Brummie, especially with the way they go up and down
