    Hey all Norwegian learners!
    The language I'm teaching is not Bokmål nor Nynorsk. It's an east dialect and I don't think you will have much problem with bokmål after this. :) And everyone will understand this.
    I am Norwegian, from Norway. Born and raised. I live in Oslo, with my husband and son.

    Understanding spoken Norwegian is very difficult imo. Learning the basic bokmål/Oslo dialect is fairly easy, but then you go out (or watch TV) and you hear like 5+ different dialects, which in my opinion are SO different, sometimes I understand Swedish better than Norwegian dialects, lol. Also, Norwegians talk super fast and they blend together words. For example, "skal jeg" becomes "skjeg" - it's a really tough language in this regard :/

      @toughcookie128 9 лет назад

      +Simon Tømte Absolutely, we do the same in french! I think a babystep approach is the best method when learning a new language and then you move on to more complicated stuff when you gained experience.

    @Maggiewriter 9 лет назад

    This is great - I love this! It's so hard to figure this stuff out. Sometimes when I am typing with a friend in Norwegian, I hit into an American/English expression and know it won't translate literally. And have no good way of figuring out the equivalent Norwegian expression. So these expressions are really useful! Takk!

    Hi Karin, I want to know if there are proper sources to get to know some Old Norse, cause I want to know how much it varies from today's Norwegian :) I'm huge Wardruna fan and they sing in Old Norse. I'm interested in runes and Nordic Mythology as well.

    Considering half of my family is from Haram, I should probably brush up on this if I plan to visit. Great video, slang is always confusing when trying to learn a new language, in my opinion.

  • @bianca12727
    @bianca12727 9 лет назад

    Norwegian is such an interesting language, your videos really help me with pronunciation..I think or the second one, the english expression your looking for is 'what in the world'. :)

    @jakechase5227 9 лет назад

    "å tenke koffert" is the same as thinking dirty? I always assumed that meant to be a "square" or "a4" or something to say you always go with the frow or always do what everyone else does...?

  • @LostGirl1
    @LostGirl1 9 лет назад +3

    These phrases aren't slang though, they're mostly idioms, which is different from slang. Examples of modern Norwegian slang would be things like 'å ditche', 'lættis/lattis', 'grandis', 'gokk', 'serr', 'spess', 'lol', etc.
    Just nitpicking, but Norwegian learners might benefit from knowing that.

    • @zachary1077
      @zachary1077 9 лет назад

      what does å ditche mean?

    • @LostGirl1
      @LostGirl1 9 лет назад

      To ditch, like to ditch someone. We've just placed an e on the end of it to make it fit in a Norwegian sentence.

  • @dajdasdq
    @dajdasdq 9 лет назад +2

    Are these slang expressions compatible with Tromsø dialect?

    • @NorwegianTeacher
      @NorwegianTeacher  9 лет назад

      Nikolay Shulgin Hei :) they are mostly that yes. But Im guessing they would add their dialect to the sentences. And also Im gussing Tromsø people have a lot more slang I have never heard of probably!

    • @janekalbinsky814
      @janekalbinsky814 9 лет назад

      Try "Hellfjord" - it is over the top funny (but from my experience, you will need subtitles. I do, for sure :-) But it's worth it :-) )

    • @rodroig
      @rodroig 9 лет назад

      Try "Helt Perfekt" They have a channel here on youtube with many programs.

    • @rodroig
      @rodroig 9 лет назад

      How do you get subtitles to this " hellfjord" ?

    • @janekalbinsky814

    • @rodroig
      @rodroig 9 лет назад

      Takk! Jeg så en episode i går på youtube av hellfjord, men det var dårlig! Its kind of "dark humor". I dont enjoy this kind of commedie. Helt perfekt passer bra for meg!😄

    I want to thank you for making these videos. My fiance is from Norway and your videos have really helped me to better understand the language. My fiance is beyond happy that I'm even attempting to learn the language considering all the different dialects. Is it possible you could do a video on "Love phrases" or sweet things to say to someone from Norway? 😊 Tusen takk

    • @NorwegianTeacher
      @NorwegianTeacher  9 лет назад

      James! Thank for watching and for the suggestion:) great suggestion!

  • @2011sliverdude

      2011sliverdude Yes they do! I am trying to find someone from Trondheim to do a video with me on dialects :)

    • @2011sliverdude
      @2011sliverdude 9 лет назад

      I didn't know that! So if somebody from Trondheim says "Ja æ sa d te hu, men hu e ikke sikker på kem du e" you know what that means???

    • @Muchoyo
      @Muchoyo 9 лет назад

      2011sliverdude Since Karin hasn't answered herself: I was born in Oslo, and I understand your quote perfectly. It means "Yes I told her so, but she isn't sure who you are".

    • @Muchoyo
      @Muchoyo 9 лет назад

      Muchoyo In proper, written Norwegian it would go like "Ja jeg sa det til henne, men hun er ikke sikker på hvem du er".

    Great video! I'm just a bit surprised at the ease with which you say all those English swear words... lol

    • @NorwegianTeacher
      @NorwegianTeacher  9 лет назад

      Haha. We use many of the English swear words in norwegian as well, and then they are not actually that bad...
      Like saying: shit, fuck, ass, is not worse than saying those words in norwegian...

    • @beckerqueiroz
      @beckerqueiroz 9 лет назад

      Norwegian Teacher - Karin I agree, they're not all bad. I have a question though: is the word _pokker_ some really ugly swearing, or what? I've been watching a series on Netflix with Norwegian subtitles and that's the word they substitute for nearly EVERY expletive uttered by anyone anytime. I just wondered. Thanks a lot for the answer, by the way.

    • @Maggiewriter
      @Maggiewriter 9 лет назад +1

      Gambiteer Lillyhammer? That show has been GREAT for working on my Norwegian since it's subtitled! I've started noticing (by S3 since my Norwegian has improved since S1) where the English subtitles are different from what they actually said. They use the word fæn a lot too.

    • @beckerqueiroz
      @beckerqueiroz 9 лет назад

      Maggie Exactly! It's also very amusing throughout. Are you watching it on Netflix?

    • @Maggiewriter
      @Maggiewriter 9 лет назад

      Gambiteer Yes! Black comedy for sure! I find it funny that Johnny listens to one Norwegian language tape and is suddenly fluent understanding Norwegian even if he never speaks it! Understanding it is the hardest part! And yep, Netflix. I've watch all of it - hoping for another season. Might do a rewatch since my Norwegian has improved since I first started watching!

  • @ToxicPCB
