After stumbling upon this video I though it would make for a really entertaining and educational way to learn more about the Norwegian culture. I am very interested to learn and react to this list of 10 things you didn't know about Norway because as an American part of the fun is having absolutely no idea what you are going to lean next. If you enjoy my reaction feel free to leave a like, comment, or subscribe for more videos like this!

The easiest way to explain a fjord, is that it is a valley where the valley bottom is below sea level. Kind of.
Not only is 'ski' a Norwegian word, but so is 'slalom'.
The pronunciation of Norwegian by the narrator is not something to replicate :)

Actually, Norwegian is among the easiest languages for English speakers to learn.
We do have a lot of vowels.
But our grammar is fairly simple.
And fairly similar to English.
The biggest problem is all the dialects.
You'll learn the language, you'll be fluent in it, yet someone somewhere will make absolutely no sense to you still.
Also, the narrator guy in that fact video didn't really pronounce it anywhere near correctly either (he completely butchered it, perhaps he tried to apply Danish pronounciation rules to it, but didn't do a good job of that either). I think I know which word he was trying to say, but it isn't pronounced anywhere near how he did it. So don't rely on that narrator to judge what Norwegian sounds like. (Not sure if that narrator butchering Norwegian makes things appear better or worse, though.)

De er kun skriftlige.

Og "tøtte"?

Fun fact: the fish used in Sushi in Japan is salmon from Norway
Yup parasite infested salmon sprayed with chemicals
This is somewhat incorrect.
The "fun fact" is that it was Norway that pushed the Japanese to start using salmon in Sushi. Before this there was no Salmon sushi.
The Salmon can of course come from a number of Salmon producing countries around the world.
As such one could say that "Norway invented salmon sushi".
@@viking_nor You paint a highly misleading image by putting it bluntly like that, slightly outdated too. The reason why the Japanese don't use pacific salmon for sushi is because that one suffer from parasites that is harmful to human consumption, a risk that doesn't exist with the Atlantic salmon. Sure, salmon lice is a constant healthcare issue for the salmon themselves, but this is a skin parasite that is a non-issue for us humans. The use of chemicals have been the primary way of caring for the health of the salmon, but today more environmentally friendly methods like using smaller fish that naturally feed on lice are becoming more common. There's also mechanical delicing, but this is more controversial in regards to the salmons health. Either way, the Norwegian fishing industry keeps evolving and chemical delicing is one of the things that are slowly being phased out.
I laugh so much when listening to your comments and watching your one eyebrow going up and down ... lol. Sorry, I love these videos. Hugs from a Norwegian.
Did you know that Norway is home to most Sami in the world? Sami is the indigenous people of Northern Scandinavia and Russia. You should look into the Sami history. Norway has some serious actions to make up for. I’m a Sami and proud of my heritage. 😊
Hi Im a Sami to so dats greit its fresing here Im far in North
It,s the longest road tunnel in the world: there are longer tunnels for trains going trough the alps and also tunnels for hydroelectric reservoars.
Hm. If you think Norwegian language sounds and looks difficult, you might want to take a look at Finland and their national language ;-)
There are 500 000 people living below UN standard of poverty here in Norway. 10% of the population. Nobody starve to death, and very few live on the streets here, but many people are struggeling, and cant afford to heaten up their homes during the winters, go to the dentist etc ( and that is REALLY expencive in Norway!) There is also a big middle class-population, and some filthy rich at the top. The average family with 2 incomes, 2 children and a house mortgage, also struggle to get by these days. The price for the electricity, the interest on loans, food, expencive toll roads to pass everywhere you go, and gasprices has gone rocket high the last few years! The farmers and the industry has really rough times here to. And there is a massive content of historical propositions with our goverment. People are fed up with the goverment for a numerous of reasons. Calm and peaceful old Norway is a bit shaken these days. But compared to so many places around the word, where people have to fight for there lives, their rights, and to feed their children, Norway still is a very safe place to live.
If you're interested in learning more about Norway, Geography Now has a good video packed with a lot of information. Otherwise, may I recommend you watch 'How Norway's Prisons Are Different From America's', as it really goes into the Norwegian correctional system. Otherwise you have 'The Norden - Nordic Prisons' which shows a bit more in-depth the Nordic prison system compared to the US'. These are long videos (~20 mins) so feel free to watch off-cam.
To call it two different languages is a bit misleading. It's two different 'WRITTEN' languages, as in two different writing systems. Bokmål is the way the Danes wrote, and makes Danish and standard Norwegian (that being bokmål) practically identical. Nynorsk, or New Norwegian, was a writing system derived from the diverse dialects from all around the country when Norway broke free from Denmark. Both are in use, and both are taught in schools, but 80% of the country uses the Danish version still, while in more rural locations New Norwegian tends to be more common.
No, it is not misleading. Bokmål and Nynorsk are different enough both in writing and speech that makes it hard to do a job in one only knowing the other.
No, Bokmål is certainly not identical to Danish. The same applies. You won't be able to do a Danish job with a decent accuracy knowing only bokmål.
Yes, you will be able to get a long way with one understanding of the other, if you've got a decent ear for language, but you will misunderstand a lot of phrases.
Wonder how long it will take Norway to get rid of Nynorsk. It's crazy to demand two languages from such a small population and especially when there is no reasonable need. How we know there's no need? Because it is impossible to function well in Norwegian society only knowing Nynorsk. Even though there are two official languages in Norway, there is also a primary one and this is Bokmål. Knowing bokmål you have no need for the other, regardless of where you live.
@@TH-cam_Stole_My_Handle_Too "Bokmål and nynorsk are different enough both in writing and in speech", except that you never speak either bokmål or nynorsk, they're WRITING SYSTEMS exclusively. There's dialects, but those are all JUST Norwegian.
As for Danish and Bokmål, well let's type it out. Let's take the phrase "No, bokmål is absolutely not identical to Danish" and translate it with google.
- Nei, bokmål er absolutt ikke identisk med dansk.
- Nej, bokmål er absolut ikke identisk med dansk.
Two letters of a difference right there. Like I said, PRACTICALLY identical. Take most sentences and translate them and they'll be similar enough to where any person with any ability in one would be able to understand the other.
@@SouthHill_ Yes, both Bokmål and Nynorsk are spoken languages just like they are written languages. There's no such thing as a solely written language. In fact, languages are first and foremost spoken. This is how Nynorsk came into being, by listening to speech and writing it down. Yes, I know there are a couple of morons within academia arguing against this but what morons say doesn't count.
Cherry-picking is not going to win this battle.
No, they are not practically identical. They are different both when spoken and written. So much so that you can't do a decent job working with one only knowing the other. Yes, you can guess, but even when they are written exactly the same they can have completely different meanings.
You should learn to shut up when being clueless.
Years ago an unlucky weather forecaster used the 'wrong' word for snow, and was called the 'abominable snowman'...
@@TH-cam_Stole_My_Handle_Too "Even though there are two official languages in Norway, there is also a primary one and this is Bokmål."
Yes, we have two official languages in Norway, they are Norwegian and Sami.
As SouthHill has stated, bokmål and nynorsk are written standards, not languages.
I use bokmål as my written language, but I speak a dialect from the north-west coast. This is quite common I think; the difference between spoken and written language.
6:45 The 4% stated here is incorrect. It is not 4% of the total sum of the fund that can be spent per year. It is 4% of what the fund gained in the previous year. Still a lot of money, but significantly less than 4% of the total.
This is to ensure that the fund keeps growing.
Exactly, the government has no access to the fund’s capital, which belongs to the people but they do have access to 4% of the funds earnings of the previous year. The fund earns about $130 billion annually in interest, rents and dividends, giving the government access to a reasonable sum.
I thought it was 2% of the yearly profit.
@@palmarolavlklingholm9684 It is actually 3% (just looked it up).
@@palmarolavlklingholm9684 On a related note - it was 4% until 2017.
@@jarls5890 Thanks for the info.
will you ever travel to Norway? Beauitiful country in the summer and spring. But the autum and winter is also lovely.
Female equality has cultural causes. The women in Norway have traditionally had a lot of responsibility, both on the farms and along the coast when the men were away for months fishing. In ancient times, it was not uncommon for women to participate in hunting and even in war, and women generally had a high status in society. I would say it is in the genes that women and men have equal value in society.
Also take into the equation the "positive discrimination" laws introduced some decades ago to further equality among the genders.
Imagine all the cars driving through a tunnel.. without ventilation the air would become unbreathable and engines wouldn't even get oxygen for running. The ventilation and scrubbing is a requirement for a long tunnel.
Norwegians don't speak nynorsk or bokmål. When we speak, we use our different dialects. Nynorsk and bokmål are the the two forms of written Norwegian. We also have different sami languages, spoken by the indiginous people of Norway.
The main reason for bokmaal being more in use than numeral, is that most of common schools teach reading and writing in bokmaal..
Now we also have the longest and deepest under sea level tunnel in the world. Ryfylke tunnelen 389,4 meters below sea level and 14 459 meter long here in Norway
The cost of living in Norway is the same is NY. However, you can join guided hikes free of charge every day on any town (i did a 11 km hike today). Norway has been No 1 in two indexes for several consecutive years. They are Human Development
yes, but we have to take into consideration that healthcare is including. as well as a place to live and food on the table in case of extreme financial difficulties. (though not without a battle lol, that system is a maze and a half). So While Norway is an expencive place to live, it makes up for it (in my mind) by people not having to worry about health and safety. so in a way Norway is much cheaper to live in compared to NY or other expencive places in the US.
@@Tanjaaraus My point is that from a tourist's point of view the prices in NY and Oslo are similar.
11:50 Ny Norsk is hardly ever used in Norway as far as I am aware, it has gotten so rarely used that newspapers are required by law to have a certain percentage of articles written in Ny Norsk to take care of the language and make sure it doesn't up and disappear completely. Most people will either write in Bokmål or their dialect/accent, and hardly bother to even think about Ny Norsk.
20:10 I tried to find accurate and specific information on this, but generally speaking all tunnels in Norway - at least over 1 km I think - are built with ventilation units spaced evenly in the tunnels, and the longer the tunnel is, the more emergency side-stops, SOS Telephone Booths, Extinguishers, and Emergency Evacuation Exits they will have, though the latter is generally only added to the much longer tunnels where getting out of the tunnel in a short enough time isn't feasibly possible so they need alternative methods of getting out to safety.
Now this is something different! Most people react to 'music videos' and stand-up comedy, don't they?
I'm not from Norway and I haven't been to Norway, but I know for a fact that they have beautiful landscapes, the world chess champion Magnus Carlsen is from Norway, DJ Alan Walker is from Norway and there are two young talented singers from Norway: Aurora and Angelina Jordan. So if you want to continue your Norway journey and eager to discover the musical part, maybe you give a listen to Norwegian artists; that would instantly attract many fans to your channel for sure, lol!
That skiing was invented in Norway is not quite true. Skiing was common among Sami throughout northern Scandinavia - Norway, Sweden, Finland and probably also northern Russia. The world's oldest ski (kalvträskskidan) was found in Sweden and dates to around 3200 BC.
Learning is good sir, keep up :) Ha en fin dag.
....and Democracy. When it comes to the Winter Olympics Norway has more medals than any other nation. I suggest you check out the videos made by the US blogger Andrew Binsky when he visited Norway and in particular the Norwegian unincorporated territory of Svalbard located closer to the North Pole than Alaska.
..and the complikations come in cases where the same words, in the same order, with the same pronounciation means widely diffrent things in diffrent parts of norway, so if you send a person from south or east of norway to the middle of norway around kristiansund/trondheim to ask someone why they are screaming, they will be confused because there it means why are you crying
Iceland speaks old Norwegian today
Bokmål and Danish is like 90-95% similar.
Nynorsk (New Norwegian) was put together by using the averages of all the dialects. In South Eastern Norway the spoken language sounds more like Bokmål and that is the area with the highest population density, which I think make things the way they are. In eastern urban Norway nynorsk is considered a bit quaint and rural by many. The west take pride in their dialects so naturally they tend towards nynorsk which fit way better with their dialects.
Denmark and Norway has been the same country on several occasions. In ancient times there was a kingdom called Viken that encompassed the area around the Oslo Fjord, in other words most of south eastern Norway, and most of Denmark. Both Nations sort of sprang from that kingdom, which is one of the reasons for our common culture. (Yes, there were other important small kingdoms in Norway at the time as well that were more important in the short term. I know, don't shoot me guys :p )
Krumkake tastes kinda like a sweet, crunchy, thin icecreamwaffle 😊

Technically it's the Sami people that invented skiis.
But we invented most of the features of the modern ones.
Bokmål means "Book language", and Nynork means "New Norwegian".
One is not supposed to speak neither bokmål nor nynorsk. They are writing languages. We speak dialects.
You are quite good with Norwegian words💕 I have the pleasure to hearing your progress 👍🏻 Swedish meatballs is what everyone eats at any Ikea in the world 😂
most of us are fluent in both languages both spoken and written -we learn both in school, and most are usualy also fluent in the local dialect wich can be alot more diffrent, and not all dialects have a written form, but many do. i have met norwegians with a dialect so diffrent from my own and nynors and bokmål, that we had to resort to english to comunicate.
in reality nynorsk is a constructed language consting of the most common words and language rules that is closest to uniting our many dialects into a single universal language, while bokmål is somewhere between nynorsk and danish and was/is the administrative language, altho the last 50 or so years nynorsk have been an equal language legaly based on preference, so in comunication with the government and its services you can select bokmål or nynorsk on equal footing by law, and most public comunications have a percentage mandatory of nynorsk mixed in, so radio and tv owned by the state have to use a percentage of their programming in nynorsk.
yes many norwegians care, some refuse to speak bokmål, some refuse to speak nynorsk, and both of these generaly refuse to understand when spoken to in the wrong norwegian, most speak their own dialect, and many like me automaticaly switch between languages without even noticing depending on who they are speaking to. i catch myself speaking sweedish, american and english without noticing to depending on who im talking to, learned english in school, american from tv and a ten year marriage to an american.
real norwegian however only exist in one place, Iceland, there they still speak norwegian to this day, populated by costal people from the south, southwest and northwest norway who colonized iceland to get away from a war they would have lost against Harald Hårfagre who forcedly united the norwegian areas on the mainland to a single country around 880AD
and the reason norwegian is easy to learn for english speakers, is that much of the english language consist of loan words from old norse from the time when most of brittain and ireland were ruled by danish and norwegian vikings who left their mark on what was later to become the english language, englishmen from 500-1000ad would fair better on iceland today then in england when it comes to be able to comunicate in their then native language, dublin ireland btw was founded by norwegians.
to illustrate some diffrences Bokmål / nynorsk / dialect : "det er jeg også" / "da e eg og" / "d e æ å" this is the same statement in the two main languages and one northern dialect, and in this case the nynorsk and dialect is very close in pronounciation, while bokmål is waaay of, but most norwegians would understand all 3
the shortest name and the shortest descriptive object name, and the shortest lastname and the shortest name of a place, and also the norwegian word for "to", is a single letter " Å ", its a rare first name, its a rare familyname, its the word for a small river/stream of water, and its the name of several places around norway.
Å sounds like a short sharp "OH" or the A in american MALL without the M LL . Ø similar to OE or the "I" in english "sir" , and Æ AE sounds like a sheep baaaa without the b
and the norwegian word for married also means poison "gift" norwegian sizes are reversed, Liten Medium Stor = Small Medium Large only way to know without asking or unpacing to check, is to look for XL then its english sizing or XS then its norwegian sizing, if they dont have big sizes ASK!
It is like: So your company is allowed to pump the oil Norway owns. We'll let you sell and make profit, but we get 70% of what you make, because it is Our oil. To make sure companies don't make money vanish through international transfers etc, we made our own oil companies which are partially owned by the state.
The funny thing is that our salaries are "immense" but as things are so damn expensive, we live modest lives most of us. None of us are poor per say... But then we go on holiday to a southern country where everything is 3x cheaper, everything suddenly feels rat cheap. It's a good feeling :)
About Bokmaal and Nynorsk; We have Hundreds of dialekts (literally) in Norway. Bokmaal is "the big city" language. The inland fjords, west coast, north, mountains, and the forested east, speaks nynorsk. Practickly speaking; Many dialekts bears no resemblance to bokmaal and vice versa. Nynorsk is a cuumilation of the many dialects, made into one written language.
And the Laerdalstunnel is the worlds longest *_road_* tunnel. There are of course far longer ones existing for other purposes.
we dont speak nynorsk in the east dude
@@1nnerconflict It's not a spoken language, but it's not used as a written language anywhere in the east? I left school over twenty years ago, so let's just say I've forgotten _a lot,_ and Norwegian Cultural History wasn't my strongest.
@@ingebygstad9667 i know its not a spoken language i just wrote a little fast, my bad, but yeah we dont use nynorsk here in the east, we are taught in school but we write in bokmål and speak riksmål aka the spoken form of bokmål

Would you be interested in longer videos about Norway?
Bokmål is the most popular in eastern Norway, especialy Oslo and also popular in middle and northern Norway, but nynorsk is most popular in western Norway, but when People that lives in an area that speaks bokmål Goes to middle school, they start learning nynorsk as a side-language, and for those Who lives in areas that speaks nynorsk, it is the opposite
Yes, Norway has a lot of sales of weapons, also NASAMS, NSM which the USA buys a lot of and which is used in Ukraine, from Nammo and Kongsberg which have large factories in the USA
Yet another good video, thou my PC struggles with showing the video. It freezes constantly.
We have partly in our democratic system something that I feel Americans in general really dislike, or don't really understand: socialism. In general we want everyone to do well and and each other out when needed. Something we do quite often is 'dugnad'. This comes from way back when people were raising barns and everyone came together to help out. We still have some of that left in our societies.
if I really wanted to know what was going on in Scandinavia or Norway I'm sure I can get in contact with one of my living cousins to get information I also have lived cousins 1st or 2nd in Denmark as well as Germania.
Fun Fact: If Austrians or Germans are going to Ikea .. we are having lots of fun. Krumkake.. oh no.. if you say Ka(c)ke in German it means Sh.. its just another word for it but i know it means something different in their language. It is just funny for me when i read it cause german,danish ect .. we have the same source.

The video freezes sometimes but the audio is going fine. When I go along the timeline the moves you make can be seen there.
Most young people hate Bokmål or nynorsk depending on what we speak😂 Because we have to learn it in school and noone use the other. Its different writing, but its more of a different dialect when speaking. Its very simular. We have a movie about the tunnel😂
good your learning of our failures.....but also have a look at UK / Newzealand / Australia and all the other countries around the world.....health care .....superanuation..... good wages and all the other perk's....
its not that there failures.... its ignorance that we let our we let big business destroy people 's lives
when the goverment doesn't care either as long as they get there election money for there next term of goverment....its all........$$$$$$..GOD BLESS AMERICA.....cos in mst cases non of us do
I have enjoyed your reactions on the norwegian history and our culture.
I have a suggestion on a video done by the american Michael Moore when he visited some norwegian prisons. As I understand, there are few things that have bigger differences than the correction and prisonsystem than the american and the norwegian ones.
Here is a link to the 10 minutes video: th-cam.com/video/0IepJqxRCZY/w-d-xo.html

Gender equality (for women) are achieved through incentive, opportunity and laws.. Examples: 8-10 months paid leave after birth, positions are (supposed to be) offered to those best qualified, firm boards strive to reach a given percentage of women, income is mainly based on witch (named) position you have (I.e. Manager, shift leader, teacher) with a higher level of income due to years worked and personally negotiated benefits.

Basically we've reached a compromise where everyone learns both and the government is required by law to respond to written text in the language they're addressed in.
And news media is required to use both etc.
But you don't have to worry about getting a fist in your face for using the "wrong" one anymore...
It's more then 2 variants by the way.
Although there's only two that the government is officially required to deal with.
Then there's two in between versions as a result of the labour partys attempts at merging the two.
And then there's two older ones more extreme then either of the current ones that's only used by purists.
Most people have given up on actually fighting much over the topic although no one in their right mind will try to do anything infringing on the rights of either language group...
The diffrence from Norway to U.S.A is this is ours and this is mine. Simple
Norwegian here, personally I am not a fan of nynorsk, it is supposed to sound like the dialects, but that is pretty much mission impossible as the dialects are so diverse, and my own dialect doesn't really have all that much in common with nynorsk anyway. Then again, neither does bokmål. Actually the strong divide between written and spoken Norwegian is probably why I prefer to write my stories in English. Whenever I try to write a Norwegian story, I feel like I have to choose between staying true to the spoken word (which looks bad grammaticly for many dialects, like with my own there would be a lot of stand-alone vowels in place of words) or staying true to the proper way of writing (which sounds fake/pretentious in dialogue form). In English I feel I can do the intonations I want, but still make the dialogue look good on paper and not have to sacrifice how it sounds.
There are Norwegians who are passionate about nynorsk, and I can understand that to a degree, but personally I feel restricted whenever I have been forced to use it. There are so many rules about words you aren't allowed to use and have to use "dialect" replacement words which are not natural to my own dialect, that I have no relationship with, and thus feels wrong to me.
About 10-12% of Norway uses the constructed nynorsk. Nynorsk is not a natural language as it's creator Ivar Aasen made it by taking random words from at best loosely connected dialects to make it.
Fun fact early 1900s norway was one of the poorest countries in the world

It's not perfect.
If you where to move here you'd find it hard to integrate.
Much harder then it is to integrate in the US (that's something Americans are better at then us).
You'd have to deal with winter depressions and just in general bad weather.
Laws that are outright unfair for immigrants.
A culture where people don't really talk with strangers, etc.
It's tough.
But it may still be worth it.
I will also have to mention certain non-European immigrant groups are a heavy financial burden on our society, as well as driving up crime rates unfortunately. There are also some cultural conflicts, especially from a certain religion. Not as bad as in Sweden though, yet.

What is poverty?
-Norwegian citizen.
There is poverty in Norway, but there are failsafes to ensure that people don't end up on the streets. Still some do, mostly drug addicts and others that sadly fall through the cracks in the system. But these are few, and even for these people there are help programs.
@@palmarolavlklingholm9684 Poverty in Norway is nothing compared to america. Everyone has the right to a place to live, with clean tapwater, electricity, and so on. If you live on the street, its simply because you refuse to accept the help provided.
@@EricTheBroBean With the homeless situation, it is a little more complex than that. But otherwise you are correct.
The immigration and equality thing is not actually a good long-term strategy at all. A lot of immigrants refuse to adopt Norwegian culture, and women in politics - being naturally less combative than men - are taking their side. Norway’s doing alright for the monent, but the insane focus on immigration is causing a great upheaval that will cause things to spiral out of control. Violence and crime in general is going up across the board. Sweden went way harder than Norway into the immigration thing and became the rape capitol of Europe as a result, and they have a feminist government. The women imported their own nightmare and are actively ignoring or even trying to ask for understanding for their new countrymen.
The guy in the video (within the video) grossly mispronounced every Norwegian word he tried to say, so don't use him as a reference
Norwegians didn't invent skiing, the indigenous Saami did! This was even documented by Roman and Greek observers, long before any Norwegian nation, state, cultural identity, people and language existed! Norway even stole and appropriated their style of skiibindings.
