Any drink, but very handy when hiking and you need to drink from a creek. Hung in the belt or on the backpack
Terje Sandaker yep. Usually use it to drink from running water when hiking. Alternativly if you’re a group hiking and some has a big bottle of something then everyone bring their own cup to share.
Also they are traditionally made from a burl that has formed on a tree, like birch. The point is to make it flow with the shape of the wood. The one in the video looks machine made. I have my fathers twenty-five year old hand carved wooden cup.
The wooden cup is called a ‘’kokse’’ . I use it when im out hiking or hunting. Perfect for coffe 😊
I am Norwegian and I approve these objects.
Swedish and we have exactly the same things, so funny. Hi neighbour!
@@m0o54i Hello dear neighbour! We are very similar yes, though we often focus on the differences, as humans tend to do;)
@@imakemusique Yet, we're all the same
And yes, us Scandinavians all share the use of such objects, as well as not talking to strangers on the bus.
Javisst ...............
The cheeseslicer was invented in Norway yes.
My grandmother knew the son of the guy who invented it.
I doubt that ...............
Are you sure about that? Many Europeans eat lots of cheese, like the Dutch for example.
@@Lori79Butterfly yes. But they used knives. In 1925 Thor Bjørklund invented the cheese slicer inspired by a common treeworking tool. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thor_Bj%C3%B8rklund.
"Spark" - the "chair that is also a sleigh" were commonly used to get around quick and safely on slippery ground, I used them a lot as a kid. They're not so commonly used anymore, because towns pour lots of pebbles everywhere to deal with the ice instead, which make the sleighs useless. I miss them though. They were great for kids as well as the elderly, and you didn't have to walk everywhere.
Or just simply "kicksled"...
If it's slippery outside you can lean yourself to the kicker (spark) and start kicking (sparke) to get around faster and safer, but nowadays there is to much pebbles everywhere in towns. They are still common in more rural areas.
I had a spark and so did all my friends! That’s how we got around. In the 50s
A Finn here: these are definitely all common to all Scandinavians. We're like a happy but rather disfunctional family 🤗 And by the way, reflector is a Finnish invention. Finnish guy called Arvi Lehti got sick of cars colliding with and killing horses and made the first reflector to protect his own horse carriage. True story.
Finnish...drinking again?
@@Lita1 could be, could be 😁
Vilhelmina Pietiläinen finland is not scandinavia😡😡
You mean the nordic countries* since Finland is not a part of Scandinavia. Cool information about the reflector though. I did not know that.
@@MrBrouwerPower technically parts of Finnish Lapland actually are, but we can be more precise and talk about Fennoscandian peninsula instead of Scandinavian peninsula. I knew that this would come up but was too lazy to correct myself.
We do have cheese slicers in Portugal ;) My fathers norwegian, my mom's portuguese, but we live in portugal and we have cheese slicers at home (but I guess we only bought it because of my norwegian culture xp)
the wooden cup that you have is a hiking mug yes, it's typically used when you go camping og hiking, og skiing. Usually when we norwegians go hiking or skiing it's normal for us to stop somewhere and build a fire or a oneuse grill and grill sausages/marsmellows and things like that, and we also bring coffee or hot chocolate or toddy and we drink in these wooden mugs. You can drink anything out of these mugs but warm drinks are more common. But now they have become more of an icon thing because it was normal many years ago, but now we have llike thermoses and cheeper and lighter plastic cups that are more normal to use. But the wooden cups gives that cozy cabin felling when youre sitting around the campfire. :)
But it can be used anywhere ... there is a great scene in the recent Netflix show Hjem Til Jul (like Bridget Jones Diary) where the Papa character used one to drink moonshine while watching a HolmenKollen skiing competition 😄

I still prefer my wooden cup over plastic ones by far, and I feel morally superior to them and especially anyone who chooses to bring single use cardboard cups when camping. The feeling of moral superiority I think is a significant component of these wooden cups, and wooden cutlery :p
Very interesting video as always , thanks!
The wooden cup is exactly what you need when you trek through wilderness and then you cross a small brook with the water down between the rocks. Dificult to bow down, but very easy to get if you have one of those cups. But apart from such needs it is handy for any drink you want to use it for. But the starting point is "out of necessity" as with every other Norweigan artifact!
*Cheese slicer; I was baffled when I started travelling abroad, and there were no Cheese slicers.
yeah, Waffles are very Norwegian... I find it AwZm that we say "Yes, I'd love to have a waffle heart" Meaning either 1/5 or 1/4 of a whole waffle...
*So in Norway, a waffle is a cluster of 4 or 5 hearts together. love it!
The wooden cup is mostly used to drink from rivers, streams, creeks etc when you walk in the mountains. The rope on it is to hang it on your backpack or belt.
the wooden cup is called "kokse" and its to have when hicking. exelent to use for drinking water in nature or to drink coffey and coco when in nature. its to hang on your backpack or belt
"Kokse" is just the same as "guksi" the word we use in the Sámi language. The guksi is mostly used for drinking coffe when hiking in the mountains, but can be used for any drinks depending on the size.
In Austria we do have such a blueberry tool and we use it also for cranberries. :)
Love your videos😍 Keep up the Good Work
Thank you! 😍
The homemade butter-spreader is probably a relic from Viking times! My daughters relished gifting me with their versions of this in their hands-on-making-things lessons in school (girls-make-things-out-of-wood, boys-learn-to-knit sort of thing). I am still using the butter-spreader made by my youngest daughter (now in medical school, intent on becoming a medical doctor) and I will probably be using it till the end of my days...
I remember making onetoo in my early school years. So funny she brings it up, I think. Yes I'm Norwegian..Much love
@@rebeccadrum3137, yes - some domestic "tools" are timeless. Whenever I use my amateur-made butter-spreader, I recall the proud 8-year old giving it to me, not the razor-sharp 21-year old, definitely grown-up medical student of today. Fond memories, they grow up too fast...
@@Halli50 That's for sure! I remember making those to my mom in school. And they are still there, whenever I come home.....For me it's a bit weird, for my mom it noststalgic. I wish my boy came home with such things to me, to keep, but the days are changing unfortunately. Makes me a bit sad...It's nolonger like the Old days....Bu- huuu
@@rebeccadrum3137, take heart - you come across as a very lovable person, your kids just do not know how to show you their love in an old-fashioned way. They WILL get there eventually, at least when you become older and more frail and they realize you will not be around for them forever.
He he... Thanks , hun, but I do not think it's the same in the school like it was in our time. Not any more. Unfortunately. I so recognize all you wrote. Been there , done that, but my kid??? A totally different story. But times are changing. I remembe coming home with those things to my mum soooo proud. She still got them . Now I'm 43 years old....memories... he he....Much love to you and your fam.
You look to good for me to watch the rest of this video... Great work girl. Thumbs up!
"When Norwegians go hiking they use this cup to drink.... wine?"
I've never seen a Norwegian drink wine when hiking, but okay xD Only thing I've seen them drink from that cup is coffee though.
You have??? Oh well... I'll share a secret, cuz I've been drinking wine of mine... a couple of times... Norwegian Girl...Much love.
I’ve only seen people drink hot coco
Karsk.
@@Bwachaauh Sant.
I grew up in the north and I used the spark all the time when I was a kid. We always used them going back and forth to shcool. It is a nice mean of transportation as you can get them to go pretty fast. You can have a friend to sit in front and you can take turns on back-kicking (sparke in Norwegian) to make it go fast. It only works on snowy roads though...
I had to use or sit on a spark to get to the bus stop when I lived there as a kid. Really helped to cross over farm roads that were iced over
I have all of those items here in Minnesota, USA, except for the cup. I may have to make a cup. Nice video!
Of course! There are nothing more scandinavian than Minnesota....😉
my sister made me one of those cup in school. that is my trip buddy... Get one they are greit to use on trips....for whatever!... much love...
I have just bought a cabin in Norway (Telemark). i live in the Netherlands. Your videos help me to get into the norwegian culture. Thanks!
The sledge thing is called "Sparkstøtting" or "Kicksled". Another fun video:)
1:26 In the Nordmøre district we want our waffle hearts to be extra big, so we buy big waffle irons. Then we can make "græt å bakels" (porridge and waffles). Bigger hearts can fit more porridge (smørgraut og møllsgraut) or jam. On larger social events like weddings in Nordmøre you may find a big pile of cut waffle hearts and an enormous bowl of porridge. 2:48 as others have pointed out, the wooden cup is usually used for drinking from water streams during mountain hikes. I recommend that you buy a "karabinkrok", a cheap one in aluminum will do, and fasten it to one of the shoulder straps on the backpack you are using. The karabinkrok will act as a quick release. 5:13 The problem with "refleks" is that people don't use it often enough. 6:43 Spark is less common to see today because of milder winters and the modern use of salt or sand on all roads during the winters. But it's still in use. I used it a lot in my childhood. In Rindal in the Nordmøre district (I think you have visited the cabin Rindalsløa in Rindal while studying at NTNU) they have something called Sparkfest where they during Christmas are racing together on spark while drinking gløgg. Outside Tynset city hall you can see a spark that is 5 meters tall and 11 meters long and 3 meters wide. Tynset also have the last spark factory in Norway. 7:36 you can get one for grownups :) It's in the form of what we call "rattkjelke" (sled with steering wheel). Search for "Stiga snowracer king size GT". It's longer than the regular one.
Carabiner
Retroreflector
Kicksled
You drink beer, spirits, water from creeks AND soup.. Never heard about wine :)
lol
the wooden cup is for drinking coffee when you are hiking in nature.
It feels better with a wooden cup when you are in nature then it would do with a plastic or porcelain cup. ;)
The wooden cup is for drinking whatever.
And it has good insulating properties, so warm drinks stay warm, and cold drinks stay cold...
@@Reedpea That also. :)
And preferably it should not be washed between uses, so that after some years, when you want a cup of hot coffee, you just pour hot water into you träkåsa.
@@xpqr12345 lol
The wooden cup is usually used on hikes to collect water from small rivers and to drink coffee from your termos
Interesting Mon :) Have a nice week my friend.. Fabrice. KISSES from France.
7:27
I used to own one 10-15 years ago, they're just named "Spark" ("kick").
It's not really the same principles as a sledge, more similar to skates then sledges or skies.
They work by using your body weight to compress the snow or ice or whatever to melt it into a thin layer of water on top of the snow/ice that you kind of "float" on top of reducing friction.
Very interested! ☺️
The waffle batter is typically ground finer for the Scandinavian waffle makers, and the waffle is often served chilled or room temperature and as a lunch or afternoon snack rather than a crispy breakfast.
I never eat my waffles unless they are fresh and hot. Just to put y 2 cents in...I've never liked them cold, though i know many do...
hi sweetie..... You are right about all of this the wooden cups are for hicking, trips outdoor or in the woods, and like you..... I see all of these items as typical Norwegian....or atleast scandinavian as you say. I'm Norwegian and I love following you. I think it's awesome to see where we differ..... lot of of love...Keep your vids comming, hun....
I'm a Swede, and all these things are just as common in Sweden. Except the wooden cup, maybe you can find them in the North, in the mountains, close to the border to Norway, where the water in the creeks are as clean as in Norway. So, I suppose these things are very Scandinavian culture, because our lives are so similar, as well as nature and seasons and darkness and so on.
@viktor hansen dude, that is just bollocks.
@@theunsunghero9 Dude, that is just Scandinavian internal mockery.
, close to the border to Norway,???Dont you know thath whole of Sveden border to Norway from sout to north.
@@bjrnarvikre4785 Have you looked at a map? Counted the distances? It is pretty far away for most of the population.
@@friswing You have missed whath i mean/or i missunderstand you ,
I’m a Greek living in Norway but I have lived in Denmark, Sweden and I passed by Finland too and all these objects are very common in all these countries (as many have mentioned in this comment section) so they’re rather “Scandinavian” objects, not only Norwegian. The cheese cutter though is a Norwegian invention. There is actually another “thing” which is very very Norwegian (not an object though) and that’s Norwegian Black Metal (lol), you should check it out ;) 🤘🏼😂
The cheese slicer was invented in 1925 by the Norwegian Thor Bjørklund who came from the town of Lillehammer. The production of this utensil was started in 1927 by the firm "Thor Bjørklund & Sønner AS." Between that year and 2009 when the firm went bankrupt, 50 million cheese slicers had been produced. After 2009 another firm took over the production...Thanks for excellent and informative vlog. I grew up in Norway, but have not lived there in many years, and had forgotten about some of the things you mentioned. It was a slightly 'nostalgic' pleasure to be reminded of them - however, I knew about the cheese slicer. I learned about its origin in the country in which I'm living now, which also is using the Norwegian type slicer...
Up here north we use to joke that the summer is so short that we use our "sparkstøtting" as a outdoor summer furniture :)
And yes, I think they are used more the further north you get as the winters are longer here.
The word "spark" is Kick in English. To use the "sparkstøtting" you stand with one foot on one of the sledge skids and push or kick the ground back with the other foot, while you are holding on ("-støtting") to the handles. To control the thing you just twist the handles and that makes the skids bend to the left or right and it will go in that direction.
And you can have one passenger sitting on the seat of course...
One fun thing we used to do as kids was to put several of those things after each other so they become a long train, with one kid on each seat and just one person all the way back pushing all the others. When you just get up to a little speed it is no trouble to have 5-6 of these in a "train" and one person could still push the other 4-5 persons.
A "spark" (as we call it where I am from) comes in different sizes: kid size, medium and normal size. There are also some attachments that can be bought to them: a small plow that you can hang on the front to push snow away, a basket to have groceries in and a set of wheels so you can use them on the short summers too :)
I think I also have seen a attachment for holding very small kids strapped on to the seat, like a child seat in the car.
About the cup, I have mostly seen it used for drinking water from creaks while going hiking.
Thanks for a fun video. Its always fun to hear how others see our traditions and things we are so used to.
I loved your comment! Very informative and interesting. The long train sounds like a lot of fun!
The wood cup can be used for any drinks, but mostly it’s used on hiking for coffee or hot chocolate, also they often comes with a set pf the cup and a plate :)
The wooden cup is originally meant to drink water from the rivers up in the mountains, but you can use any beverage, to be honest, e.g. hot chocolate from a thermos.
Sparkstøtting, not sure if there is an English name for this "standing sledge with passenger seat" contraption…
The kiddie wagon cycle is one I see here in Ireland as well (Yeah, I'm an expat too :).
Yeah! Amundsen boots!!! I bought a pair in Oslo and went for a hiking on a glacier and into a cave in Longyearbyen!!!
veri kul szanel. keep goin.
The kicker (Spark) is quite common outside bigger cities, they are like you say pretty much a chair on a sledge, some or most have plastic on the iron parts so they glide more, like when they sand the streets (yes they sand the streets up here in the north :-P )
The seat is useful as you can sit down if you get tired, you can store packages on it while you kick back home.. or groceries and stuff like that. or just have a friend sit there.
Some elderly people also use them as rollators during summer with wheels and brakes attached to them.
Snøspark 😁 and the "box" for the skis is called 'pulk"
When you are hiking in the mountain, bring the cup. Then you don't need to bring water. You may just use the cup to drink from all the little streams
The wooden cup is for hiking and can be used for any beverage😊
Wood cup: Anything, but most often coffee made over a campfire. Used when hiking and on trips in the wild, not else.
The cup us used for anything you want to drink. Soda, water, hot chocolate, tea or whatever. The "point of it" is to just have a cup to take with you outside without having to worry about it being damaged. It also fits in with the idea of being out in the cold as it is usually made of wood. :)
They use those blueberry things in Maine, too. I think they call it a rake.
Out of the cup you can drink any thing you want. Most people use it for coffee and water. The "sled" thing is called Spark-Støtting.
In the twenties Norwegian girls even used the waffle-irons to do their hair.
But those was completly different
We did????? Wow.... Need to try that.... Oh yes.... The Ronja Røver Datter hair??? Ofcourse. That would work....Gonna try that. Thanks, hun ; )
Okey... your just too cute! Love the video... :)
Also, while not really Scandinavian only anymore the paperclip is a Norwegian invention too ;) Johan Vaaler was it's inventor =)
Hello! Could you make video about advantages and disadvantages of Portugal for immigration as highly qualified worker? Why you leave your homecountry? I don't understand, because Portugal have absolutely fantastic Azores islands, warm climate and so on. So many questions :)
All the things that you mentioned are available in Canada except for the floral shaped waffle-maker, the weird-looking sledge, the wooden cup.

How do you make yourself visible after dark without using a reflective item (band, vest etc.) in Portugal?
We don't have a lot of darkness in Portugal ☺️ the city and town streets always have good street lighting and outside cities we don walk too much, we always use the car
That wooden cup is for stew or warm water/melted snow. Too small for Beer. The larger ones looking like pint glasses, in wooden are drinking yes!!!! :)
It is also a type of bicycle box (don't remember the Norwegian name of it) that you can drag behind your bicycle. I'm pretty sure you van take it on and off also. I have never used it myself but I have seen that some have had their kid in it while the parent have used the bicycle
I hope what I wrote makes sense 😅
Yessss! I have seen it as well! ☺️
When trekking or hiking always BYOC (Bring you own cup)
Useful when getting something warm or cold to drink from others.
I would be happy to share with you the purpose of the wooden cup. It has special significance in our culture. It's reserved specifically for one drink. The ingredients are quit simple: prepare a kettle over the fire. Fill halfway up with water, add pine needles, Lingon berries, special mushrooms and the urine of a she elk in ovulation (the queen of the forest). A dash of brandy to top it all off. Enjoy. Many in the comments will invariably challenge the veracity of this recipe but they're no doubt fools from denmark. Lower case d on purpose, take that!
Tralfamadorian wow. Best backhanded comment ever.
A cheeseslicer is used outside of scandanavia too.
Hey! I think you were spot on in this video! XD -
I also hope you're doing ok considering the circumstances in Norway now :)
Thank you 🤗 I'm doing well! I hope you are too ♥️
@@MonAmieDesserts Thank you!
@@meladimusica you're in Trondheim? well....high five, hun! So do I..... Nice to have you here despite the corona "Quarentene" we're going through..Much love....
I think you should make a video about the food that is very norwegien like; kjøttkaker, lapskaus, fårikål rømmegrøt, brød med brunost etc..
That's a great idea! ☺️
Don't forget the Norwegian national cuisine: Pizza. And if you happen to be living in Kristiansund: Bacalao. :-)
We use most of these items in ND/MN in the US. Although we also account for the most Norwegian/Scandinavian immigrants in the US (my dad was fluent in Norwegian).
Cheeseslisers is a Norwegian invention
The cheeseslicer was invented by Thor Bjørklund in Lillehammer, Norway. Today it is prodused by the company Giax in Ringebu.
I guess cheese slicers are produced by many brands, but yes, the original Bjørklund slicer is produced in Ringebu. Ringebu is also the place where you can find the worlds largest cheese slicer :) ringebu.com/no/attraksjoner/verdens-storste-ostehovel/
we use the cup to almost everything, but most for coffee or hot chockolate
Hi dear after loñg time watching your video.
The "Berry picking device" was invented by the Swede Johan Oscar Wennborg in 1905. The list is more of a "Scandinavian" list with inventions from all over the nordic region.
It's called a "Cheese Plane"
Cheese plane. A tool used to slice cheese, generally into very thin slices. It consists of a handle attached to flat metal plane with a blade cut into it. Lower-quality models are unable to cut firm or aged cheeses such as Parmesan.
A Cheese Slicer is typically just a string that's used to cut the cheese.
Cheese slicer. A tool used to slice cheese. It consist of a handle attached to a roller and a metal string a short distance from the roller. It can also come in other style resembling a metal saw.
bought a cheese slicer in Holland :)

1. Do apartments have elevators in Trondheim or is it only walk-up-stairs? 2. I notice that there are washers in apartments. Where are the driers? 3. If we move to Norway, we would someday like to build. How do we get in touch with you and your partner to design a home?
I own a blueberry or blueberry picker and wouldnt throw it out until I found out what it is
Moose, and trolls and moonshine (moonshine is maybe more of a boomer thing, or country side thing ), meat balls in brown sauce, fishballs in bechamel sauce, får-i-kål... That's a few more for you!
A small comment on the reflectors that people use when it is dark! Reflectors are measures to protect soft pedestrians from being hit by hard cars in the night. As we used to say about night time traffic: you see the car, but does the car see you? If they don't that increases the chances for an accident. But why is this something special for Norway (and actually also Sweden, Denmark and Finland)? Because we started early to emphasize safety in traffic! You do have dark also in Portugal, but when I lived there I never saw people use reflectors at night. Which surprised me a lot. But I believe the same goes for a lot of other European countries. Probably to little emphasis on such accidents, or maybe the number of such accidents are not very high outside the Nordic countries? Nao sei.
5 hearts :) not 4. drinking coco, or water from a stream. if you have ice on your floor your doing it wrong :) nice vid, and i think you nailed it.
Some will give 4 hearts, sweetie. Mine is.... But I know some others give 5 hearts. She is right on this one. and yes you are right....She nailed it, ABSOLUTELY!Love it.
Norway is such a cute country. I just love them. Go viking!
There is a high % of familys in the North of Norway that own 1 or 2 spark (thats what we in the north call it). If familys got more then 1 its often if its a familly with two kids, or a smaller one that kids can use alone. These used to be more of a commend thing a while back then now tbh. Every family had atleast one when i was a kid. Im not really seeing so much of them anymore, and i live in Tromsø, so its pretty far in the North part of Norway. Also said to be one of the most amazing place to take a trip, atleast if you want to see the Northern light and million stars shining down on the snow. So if you travel to Tromsø you should go on a Northern light trip, just ask the hotel to sign you up and everything will be taken care of for you. If you get the chance to go out dog slide riding, you should really go for it! You will then go out for 1-2 days with a group and some professional people. You will then end up laying on a sled covered with blankets and stuff, while someone drive the sled with 6-8 husky dogs for you, this give you the chance to really just focus on our nature, look at the amazing light show on the sky, and just be 100% relaxed and enjoying life! When you then come to a camping place, you will then sleep in a tent (no you wont freeze). But before bed time you will have a chance to sit with the group around some fire and talk or just enjoy the trip. Its an really amazing trip that will not only show you our nature or the northern light, but you will most likely end up with some new friends aswell! Win win right? :D Cant be explained, you need to go to actually be able to understand all the feelings and the nature! This is also a big deal for us in the North, so we take a lot of pride of it. The travel persons will also be very caring for everyone, making sure that everyone is good or need something. So you will also see what kind of people we from the North are pretty fast. Respect, taking care of each other, and looking at each other as an equal is our look on being a good person. So we treat everyone the same and with these things. But we are also not afraid to say what we feel if you are being rude or something, we dont enjoy it but if we get put in that position we 100% will tell it straight to you. And some people will most likely get a bit "scared" if we end up in that position, but we just talk extra rough to show our feelings, so you know that the line is crossed. But you need to be just a big douchebag for it to happen tbh. We love everyone as long as you are polite, but you will get a lot back from us if you are polite and a good person! :)
Can you talk about Norway shutting down? (Coronavirus)

"We're like a happy but rather disfunctional family 🤗"
Brilliant description of Finland, Sweden, Denmark and Norway.
Well there's a few more Norwegian objects; cheese greater, paper towels, torches that are kinetically powered/wound up and...my personal favorite but it is very traditional from even ancient times is the good old log cutting firewood ax. The Norwegian ones had pretty raven feathers coming out of the handle but nowadays people don't do that. I do because it's traditional but most don't. Also on a side note I printed the Norwegian flag on the handle because I'm Norwegian and love the land 'HAIL NORGE, elska landet av hele mitt hjorte'...it's very pretty. OH I almost forgot...snow boarding, skis and snow shoes...not the new ones I'm talking about the old flat snow boots some people still use today...and this is something the Sami people used 150thousand+ years ago...trust me GIRL you be skaled in no time yes!!!! :) #HailNorgeLandet
Nice video Mon Amie...as a Norwegian myself I can say the moose cheese graters are Sami...the shovels, which represent hard work and advance ingenuity is Norwegian. I liked this video yes!!!! :)
Lita I guess the raindeer cheese graters are Sami. The moose graters are more inner eastern Norway.
@@knuthenriksommer4982 Wait...moose and reindeer are different? Oh i did not know that...I'm on the west coast so...yea...interesting thoe because I went over to an eastern market stall and they sold me a moose grater, which is really good. And the woman claimed it was from the Sami area. So I said Reindeer and she said same thing. Maybe she was wrong possibly? interesting information here thoe. I liked your reply yes!!!! :)
Lita Reindeer is the cultural center of the nomad sami culture, the center of mythology, legend and life in general. There are also moose in the sami areas, but it doesn't have the same cultural significance. The nomad-sami relation to the reindeer resembles the relation the native americans of the great plains has to the bison. Life and existence circles around it. If the grater you had was presented as typical sami, it's probably reindeer. There is a non-nomadic sami culture too, the sea-samis, traditionally living from fishing and farming. This latter has been more fragile because it was less distinct from norwegian and finnish (kvæn) culture co-existing in the same areas, but the language and many traditions have been preserved even there. These people very often speak both norwegian, some finnish and sami if they don't totally reject their sami heritage. The latter means that the salmon of the sea and the rivers also has significance in sami culture.
@@knuthenriksommer4982 Oh um ok...fair enough about the deer part. Um people rejecting their Sami heritage is a deep thing to say to be honest because the southern parts of Scandinavian were all Northan Grammanic, Danish people that set sail with the Earl of Denmark to the Nordlands, meeting Sami people that came from the Siberian plains 150thousand+ years before. Whom of those might of rejected their heritage but I doubt it. Most Sami people know their Sami and are proud of that and being Norwegian, if their in Norway. The main part people tend to give up is the Nomadic way of living and settle in properly. This was actually done not just from Sami people but globally as everyone was initially a nomad. In terms of myself I'm half Sami and mostly Norwegian, with some German, Danish , Finnish and unfortunately Swedish in me...like a tiny part of my great great great grandmother being from that ghastly city of Stockholm where their beauty is divine yet their mouths not so much...no idea what my grandfather was thinking...DAM IT GRANDPA!!!! Overall I love Norway, having lived there and I love the land with all my heart, especially because my ancestors fought for the land, keeping it still here today, with lots of people of course. I hope people can be healthy and develop, and achieve greatness as much as possible.
Lita Interesting. I live in Norway, and lived in Finnmark for 15 years. I have no sami heritage myself, but I served as priest/pastor in the costal areas in Eastern-Finnmark for 15 years. The sami heritage is by many people looked down upon in this area, where most people themselves have sami ancestry, the same is the case in most of the north-norwegian coast. My experience is that the norwegians in the area have more respect for the sami culture than the currently (at least the last 1000 years) non-nomadic samis, who deny being sami and in many cases fights against indigenous rights for samis. Reindeer-herding samis have traditionally herded all the way down south of Trondheim (to about Røros), but sadly the south-sami language and with it the culture is almost extinct south of Trondheim. In Sweden it's better kept. This is the sad reality in most costal areas of Norway and is the result of intended policies from the norwegian government from the 1850s to the 1970s: Nationalization. The sami (and finnish) children were forced to go to boarding-schools where they were punished for speaking sami (or finnish) and considered a threat to national security (same in Sweden). The lutheran church had a big role in this (I'm a lutheran pastor). To me cultural heritage is a reality if we acknowledge it or not, we should all be proud of who we are. I have to disagree that most samis are proud of their heritage, but the people you meet who say they are sami are the ones who are proud of being sami, giving the impression that all people of sami heritage is proud of it. In the costal north there is still a lot of borderline racist attitudes towards samis, even from people whos grandparents had sami as their first language. Thank you for your good wishes for the future of mine (and yours) home-country.
For car owners you could add that Norwegians owns eight wheels for every family car. -- Unless the car has a spare tire. Then there are nine wheels belonging to said car.
You HAVE to use a reflector. Otherwise, your mother will telepathically know, and call you and tell you that she's worried about you. And that's just a terrible feeling.
Wear reflectors! ;)
Akebrett . A sled/sledge/sleigh is not a very Norwegian object. It's an object every country that gets snow has.
Hi Mon Amie 😍 got interested in your channel bvoz I have boyfriend from Norway 😀 i keep watching your videos maybe it will help me some time in the future. Can i ask? What was your reason why you moved in Norway? And why you leave your own country? Thanks for your reply. Keep healthy and God bless
If yaou search on youtube "VM i spark" then you will find world championship in it held in Norway. The sledge chair as you said xD
Most people use it to drinking water when you go hiking
A sledge is a massive hammer used to break down walls and such. A sledgehammer is the full word. The word for the sparkstøtting would be sled.
I always pictured Sister Sledge as four rather naughty girls riding along in Father Christmas sled(ge), pulled by four reindeer, but maybe that's just me.
The Waffelmaker with the Form of hearts was the only in former times in Germany. Than at anytime came the one with the thick Waffels.
I'm a Mighty Pirate and approve of this message.
3:06 That's not quite right. It is of course possible to drink something else from that travel cup as well, it is most common for us in Norway to drink coffee, broth, hot blackcurrant juice from it. 😊😊😊
Noone uses a stick like that to spread butter, only for eating oatmeal, like a spoon. I think most Norwegians made a cup like that in scool, like woodworking class. Think it is a hiking thing, but usualy coffie or hot chocolate. Or like soup when camping or booze when "camping".
Kick sleigh or just kick in Norwegian, spark. Old people use them to go grocery shopping in the winther when it is icy. Children use them alot as well, but they are great and most people have one if they live outside the inner city.
And more Norwegian things: Paperclip (binders), taxes (avgifter), trolls(troll), the troll car (troll bilen), the electric car (Buddy), runes (runer/hellerissninger), moped and munnharpe.
Don't forget the spraybox (aerosol), outboard motor (Evinrude), wasn't the first, but he made them solid and popular.
@@jeppahorse Well, they are not very typical Norwegian things, like flatbrød, but the aerosol can sure is a Norwegian invention.
I use the cup to all drinks

When Norwegian seagulls and crows begin to shit blue, that means blueberries are ripe and ready for plucking.
You also forgot the most Norwegian kitchen implement that exist: Krumkakejern.
Yes. I think krumkaker is more specific to Norway than waffles. I associate them with one of the seven sorts that is supposed to be baked for Christmas. I can't name all of them, but one of them (where I grew up) was spekulaas, which is very Dutch. I don't if it was because that area had lots of trade with the Dutch back in the days, or if it is common in the rest of Norway as well.
how do you cycle in the ice age? :-)
If you mean like riding a bike, then the answer is that you ride pretty much like normal, except you should never use the front break because then you'll fall. and never take a sharp turn with too much speed, also don't lean to any side like when turning on a dry surface. (I could also totaly missunderstood your question completly, if so I'm sorry!)
