      Dutch Lion Not in my country, if you get wasted then obviously you increase your chances of ending up in bed with strangers no matter which country you are, but here in Norway that's particularly frequent and so is that when sober, the average Norwegian is extremely shy and socially sensitive towards strangers. I find both things very contradictory, that's my point.

    • @brandonduet7771
      @brandonduet7771 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Sean O'Sullivan i understand what you are going through. We need to train our ears to recognize every syllable. We do this by watching movies and videos, but it seems many of them jump from one dialect to the next. One movie is a different dialect from another. Even the people in this video were doing it. Hard to find straight bokmål.

    • @seanosull2884
      @seanosull2884 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yes, I guess we just have to accept the fact that bokmål is simply a written language that resembles the spoken language of middle/upper-class Oslo and even they have some differences in the way they speak. Films and TV series are great. Also music which is sung in their dialect can also be useful. If you are not keen on earning Nynorsk but would like to familiarize yourself with it to an extent, I would recommend the poetry of Olaf Hauge. My girlfriend bought me his book with cross the page translation but i would challenge myself to translate without any help. And it helped me see that Nynorsk is not a million miles from Bokmål and I have become more accustom to dialects in the Nynorsk regions as a result of reading his amazing poetry.

This is double necessary for Norwegian since there are 2 written standards and a wide variety of dialects which deviate from those standards and from each other vastly. I particularly would like to see/hear the dialects in Østfold, especially Vikværsk and East Oslodialekt. Thanks a bunch and keep the lang vids coming!

    Remember that Norway has a lot of VERY different dialects! We even have different ways of saying the letter "r" throughout the country. I would recommend sticking to one dialect, and the Oslo-dialect is probably the most straight forward when it comes to the written language "bokmål", and is practical when reading.

      you mean the rulle r and the skarre r? From what Ive heard only folks at the south west coast use skarre r, everyone else uses rulle r. I hope there is no more differences when it comes to the r, right

      Yeah, those are basically the two types. (Even though some people in northern Norway kind of say "sh" instead of "r". I have no idea where this comes from, maybe it has something to do with the Sami?)

      Erin S Yeah my grandma does that a lot, I think it's because we speak a lot more at the tip of our tongue and front of the mouth?
      My generation's dialect is less thick and actually a tiny bit closer to the Oslo-dialect than the older generation's, because of growing up to TV. I say ikke instead of ikkje, and vann/hunn'(hund) instead of vanj/hunj as my parents do.
