- Now that I have a better understanding of the geography of Norway from part 1 of this series I am ready to dive right into part 2 by reacting and learning about Norwegian culture and society. I think I will find this very interesting to learn about, especially from my American perspective. If you enjoyed the video feel free to leave a comment, like, or subscribe for more!

Fun fact: The Norwegian sovereign wealth fund owns roughly 1,5% of all the stocks in the world and lots of property, including entire streets of London and Paris.
What do you mena "entire streets" ?
@@QazwerDave The fund invest in properties. And sometimes that ends up being "entire streets".
@@QazwerDave Yes! Streets mean streets. Not for bragging. It's a fun fact. Stupidity is funny in Norway too. But the buildings are, of course, a part of the streets from our point of view. Or was it the streets that came with the facilities? We owe both, but you probably live there, while I'm at my cabin with my Marius sweeter, and fire up with some moonshine 😁 Just finished my Friday Taco with sour cream 🤭

Norway didn't "join" NATO, they were a founding member and both the first- and current secretary general of NATO is norwegian.
Jens Stoltenberg is the only Norwegian to hold the position of general secretary of NATO, though I'm guessing you're thinking of Trygve Lie who was the first secretary general of the UN. :)
@@eivindmn Thanks, yeah the first General Secretary of NATO was: Lord Hastings Lionel Ismay
And Sweden isn't part of NATO.
Yet
Norway became a member of NATO in 1949
@@hawaiisteel808 yes nato was founded in 1949
It's true that we love our wool sweaters, but Marius is just a pattern. There are hundreds of different patterns. But Marius is one of the most popular though.
And if you care there are way moore knittingdesigns than dialekts, i am sure
Is Marius an actual name in Norway though? Cause it is a very popular one in Lithuania
@@indreduobaite13 Yes marius is a pretty popular name in Norway as well.
I am actually wearing one right now 😁
@@indreduobaite13 Yes many is named Marius, so pretty common. On of our best known guitarist, who died far too young was named Marius Müller.
Fun fact about norwegians and language.
Most norwegians know atleast how to speak 3 languages. already before starting school, most norwegian kids have a somewhat comprehensive understanding of the english language and starts formal education in it once they enter school. Later on once entering the teens starts learning a 3rd language in school ( german, french, spanish or mandarin being the most common) ontop of that, the danish and swedish language is similare enough for norwegians to understand.
because of this, linguistics has been looking into why norwegians seems to learn languages so fast, and its been theorized that because of all the dialects in norway, norwegians tend to have an easier time of picking up on differences in language, and adjust their language accordingly.
also, about the scandinavian languages as a whole. the goverments of norway, sweden and danmark actually recognize eachothers languages as official languages, so swedes, danes and norwegians can use their mother tongue both writen and spoken in all three countries. (as an example, me (as a norwegian) could go to both sweden and danmark, and use norwegian on a writen exam in history or biology) and the bond between the countries is so close that scandinavians can move freely between the three countries.
I don’t wanna read all of that
@@PotatoChamps A wee bit emotional today, are we?
@@PotatoChamps Maybe u should.. ;)
@@PotatoChamps your loss

Yes, Alot of Norwegians have their own cabin in the woods/mountain or in more sentral skiing areas.
There is almost at least 1 cabin in a family, tho not everyone own one ofc.
Yeah, I was about to say the same. It's more like the extended family has one available for use, not most households have their own.
@@JustLiesNOR Yep, would go as far as to say almost everyone have access to a cabin through family or friends
True. I don't have one but two of my brothers have a cabin and I can probably borrow it if I wanted
@@mrjollamoe yea and if you dont there are hundreds of cabins you can just show up to and stay in for very little that are owned by DNT.
Usually go by generational basis, but a lot has changed over the years, regardless if you don't own one, there is always a decent chance to borrow or rent one.
edit: Not all and everyone are centred around skiing, woods or mountains, many have Easter/summer cabins near the coast, enjoying fishing, swimming, the summer sun, etc.
Well, 570k cabins for a population of 5,3M inhabitants, gives you a picture of close to one cabin per family. Btw, I am of the Sami people. Compliments to your reactions.
Yes, Tyler. Almost all Norwegians own knitted sweaters. This is a long tradition. Ever since the Viking Age.
As a Norwegian, there are dialects even I don't understand, so many different expressions and words. Some words mean a different thing than example another place in the country.
I guess many Norwegian own a Marius sweater, but I think most of us Norwegian own a sweater made from wool. That's the most important garment we can have. Wool underwear and socks, so good tin the cold winter time... and cool summertime too.
Alfred Nobel was Swedish, and once upon a time (when Nobel himself was alive I believe), it was desided (maybe by Nobel himself 🤔) that Norway should get to be reaponsible for one of the prices, and the peace one seemed like a resonable choice. (*this is just going off of what google is saying)
Yes, he was the one who thought that the Norwegian part of Sweden should also be given a prize. After all, Norway was part of Sweden at the time.
I was told that Nobel did not want Sweden to give out the peace price becuase of Swedens history with war all over Europa. Norway did not have that history.
I have a gorgeous Dale of Norway sweater that I bought when I was serving overseas. I’ve had it for about 20 years and it’s still in amazing condition.
That Huldra image is actually from a movie called Thale. Been a while since I saw it but I do mean to remember it was pretty good.
Nynorsk is also mandatory in school, even though (most) Norwegians (from my experience) using Bokmål neither uses it or wants to learn it. I can't speak for everyone, though!
Depending where you are from. Bokmål is most common as the main written language. I'm from Arendal, where bokmål is the norm. But Åmli just 60km inland uses nynorsk as their written language. I have lived both places and when we moved to Åmli I was not allowed to write in bokmål at all. But everywhere you learn to write both types if you want it or not. I hated nynorsk. Because I had to write in nynorsk I only delivered my written stuff in big letters. I refused to write in skjønnskrif. In 5 of the schools I was attending, bokmål was the norm, Åmli was the only nynorsk one. I have lived in Sørlandet my whole life.
We called it spynorsk (barf-norwegian) in elementary school.
Screw it, only about 12% of the country speak it, get rid of it.
@@OriginalPuro My mom came from Odda which is nynorsk land. So I can see both sides. But still suck to write that if you don't want to.
I hate it with passion myself. As someone from Bergen, we don't even have two-gender nouns ("boken", "solen", so on). I had to learn that on top of everything else.
I don't mind other people using it as their written language, and I don't mind learning about it, like common words and phrases - but I despise having to be taught Nynorsk like my life depended on it. Grammar and all that bs. It was so emotionally distressing, I literally twist and turn in agony when I have to read it, or when I see it online. That should seriously tell Norwegian schools that they're doing something wrong.
@@johannlothe The amount of "sidemål" you have to put up with is pretty small tbh. As long as it is an official recognized written form of Norwegian we kind of have to learn the basics. If you later in life got a job in a public service you could be forced to write sidemål at one point. Either because you work in a municipality where your sidemål is is main or you have to reply to a letter in sidemål, which btw you have to by law when working in public service.
I think the biggest issue I notice is teachers with bokmål as main that dislike nynorsk, and this reflects in their teaching and it rubs off on the students.
I do think those with nynorsk as main have an advantage because they get so much of the Oslo area dialects on TV, which is quite close to bokmål.
Thank you for posting these. I am Swedish but it's still fun to watch. The fact that Finland was left out of the "friend zone" in the og vid seems weird to me though. I think they belong there too.
Also, I own a few of those styles of sweaters. They are great 😁
This song sums up Norways cabin culture: th-cam.com/video/ua1FAlHt_Ys/w-d-xo.html
10:33 Its true, my family has a cabin or as we call it «hytte» in Strandebarm, Hardanger
An American movie set primarily among the Norwegian immigrants in the USA is "Fargo," by Joel and Ethan Coen. You can tell from the (exaggerated) Norwegian accents and Norwegian sounding names.
Sounds like you need to come on over for a vacation soon!
This video you reacting to is a nice reminder of how nice it is here, its easy to forget when you see all this every day.
Cabins are often inherited, and co-owned/used by the entire extended family. There are company cabins and organizations that own cabins that their members can use, and cabins that you can use for a small fee if you traverse the mountains on foot, that sort of thing.
Many people just rent a cabin for a weekend or week.
But yes, it's a very common goal for the middle class - a cabin and/or a boat. If you don't go for anything super fancy, it's normally affordable for the comfortable middle class (remember, our kids get free higher education so our savings can go towards things like cabins rather than a college fund. ;) )
If you ever watched Golden Girls, Betty White’s character was from Minnesota, half her jokes were about her weird Norwegian customs, it was hardly based in reality, but it was hilarious to watch from a Norwegian standpoint.
From the tv-show ALT FOR NORGE (about swearing in north norway)😉 th-cam.com/video/QhvMiGO8x3k/w-d-xo.html
Garrison Keillor presented an hilarious series on NPR for 42 years, called The Prairie Home Companion. It was set in a fictional city in Minnesota, dominated by its Norwegian culture. You'd love it.
One note about the king of Norway though, he's the head of the military. And he's the one who signs into law the laws the elected government write during special sessions with the king, where the monarch can ask very critical questions about the laws. So it is rare that any government tries to completely rewrite what the previous government did, because the monarch would ask "how would this law be measured as a success and who would be responsible if it doesn't meet said expectations?".
If you want to listen to more Norwegian folk music Warduna is a great choice. they use instrument that was used during the viking age. Einar Kvitrafn(white raven) Selvik has made music for the Vikings series and the game Assassins Creed Valhalla. He sings both in Norwegian and Norse. Norse is the language that was used during the viking age, the closest language you have today to Norse is actually Icelandic.
Black Metal is one of the most hardcore forms of Rock out there. The history behind it is also very dark, involving church burnings all over Norway during the 90s, murders and suicide. The band Mayhem even went so far that they took a picture of one of their member that committed suicide by using a shotgun and put it in their cover art. Pretty f'd up.
Mari/Marius sweater is one of the best looking sweaters there is. It's good and warm, looks good any time of the day, and can be used at home snugling up in the sofa infront of the fireplace with a cup of hot chocolate, or to a party or formal gathering.
Yep,Im wearing mine almost daily
Alfred Nobel who upon his death left his belongings to the Nobel foundation for the administration of the Nobel awards specifically requested in his will that 5 people appointed by the Norwegian parliament was to award the peace price. The other Nobel prizes are given by Swedish establishements. It is not known why Norway was given this consideration, but it is speculated it was because Sweden had a longer history of military conflict than Norway.
Alt for Norge(All for Norway) is an awesome program for you to watch. It's on TH-cam. You really get to know Norway🇧🇻 Tone from Norway.
Huldra "the scary creature" is singing beautiful songs in the woods, and the men wonder who is singing so beautifully. So they walk into the woods and never come back again. 😱
You need to react to alt for Norge 😁
I was just going to say that 😊
YES....
YES! We should send some episode suggestions. 😁
The Bunads are worth tens of thousands of dollars. Just the fabric itself is sewn (or if you sew it yourself, quality controlled by sertified specialists) and costs thousands of dollars. The silver that follows the certain bunand is the expensive part. Every region in Norway have their own bunad, and we can tell where a Norwegian is from by their bunad (and dialect😉)
I have 3 cabbins one with the sea, one out in the wiled (hunting cabbin) and one in the town. Most Norwegian get their cabbin from their grandparents😅
I have four.
If you want to dig into Norwegian folklore, I would recommend the 2010 movie Trollhunter :) It is a humorous scary movie, with some very typical Norwegian humour and made up conspiracy theories.
Part of the problem with New Norwegian was the bias of the guy who were tasked with making it.
He started in the west. For a quarter of his allotted time. But since he was a big fan of those dialects, he decided to spend another quarter there, and just skipped the south. (he thought it was too danish I believe.)
Then it was a a quarter in the "east", and whatever time he had left traveling north.
Being completely ignored, is probably why it didn't take hold in the south. And guess the capital figured they would just stick with what they had.
The peace price was decided to be awarded by Norway, because it was a subjugated country at the time (under Sweden). And since we didn't hold any power, it was thought that we were more worthy of giving out the peace price. (something like that)
Well... some things have changed a bit since then.
But I like to believe that this responsibility have shaped some of what we might consider "core" Norwegian, as we developed on our own.
Example of Norwegian folk metal: th-cam.com/video/GEwbN3UWYfQ/w-d-xo.html / Example of Norwegian black metal: th-cam.com/video/_jw7yk8hm_0/w-d-xo.html / Example of extremely popular Norwegian contemporary pop music: th-cam.com/video/06ht9MyJLT4/w-d-xo.html / Example of very popular music few people know is Norwegian: th-cam.com/video/0nlJuwO0GDs/w-d-xo.html
This was fun. I'm from Norway, and this is funny to me. I thougt ex. it was normal in other countries to have a cabin (hytte). You have to taste "Freia melkesjokolade" through, it is the best chocolate in the world! And the chocolate "Kwick Lunch" and an orange is typically in the backpack when we are going hiking. Have a nice day! People are often reserved in norway, so you are welcom to live here! We need nice, laidback and confident guys like you😄
Kvikk lunch.
And also, Norwegian chocolate isn't close to being the best in the world.
I'd say that our average chocolate is better than the world average by quite a bit.
But the Swizz, Belgians and arguably Italians all have some amazing chocolates.
Although I don't know enough to say that their average beat our average or not I sure as heck can tell you that their best beats our best.
I think that we're beating the Swedes, Icelandic, British and American chocolate though.
@@Luredreier Kvikk Lunsj
I'd love to see you look into more on the Sami people!! I'm Sami myself and find it really interesting to see peoples perspective on my culture, especially as it's not very well known
The Sami in Norway can be like like the Indian people in the US. They have their own language. You should learn more about them. I also want to recommend a TV series from Norway. "Brødrene Dahl og Spektralsteinene". You can't find it in English but it's awesome. I absolutely love it.
You mean indigenous Americans. They used to be called indians because, apparently, Columbus thought he had found India when he arrived in North America. Indians are from India. I'm old enough to have played "indian and cowboy" as a kid, so I used to mix the two all the time myself! 😊
the Sami did not come to Norway until around 2-3000 years ago. while the other Norwegians have been here for over 10-12,000 years. so it's not the same at all
I thought you were gonna suggest Alt for Norge! xD
@@Kari.F. Yeah, they're two separate words in Norwegian, though. Indianer/inder. So, pretty common for Norwegians to make that mistake in English, since they're separate in Norwegian, but still similar.
@@luringen947 Source? I agree calling them indiginous gives the wrong impression. Several groups has to share that label.
When it came to famous people, you definitely know Ylivs. They made the song "What does the fox say".
And yes, the "Marius" pattern is pretty popular. I have a hoodie with the pattern myself.
Norway has different dialects, so we also have bunader costumes from different places in Norway. You can therefore see which county in Norway by looking at the bunades where you come from in Norway. Love how you learn about my beautiful country Norway
:Every one of us has heard the call
Brothers of true metal proud and standing tall
We know the power within us has brought us to this hall;
Norway: We export
Black oil
Black music
And it's good
It's so fun watching your videos🙂 about the cabins(hytte), as people allready have commented here, most of norwegians have access thru family or friends. I have my own cabin thru my parents. I usually go there to relax, disconnect from the world, do some fishing and hiking etc... When we build it, there was no reception for cellphone or even tv, nowasadays we have 4g and digital tv, and of course power. But it is still a place for me to "disconnect"
I don't get this: It's kinda hard getting a tan in Norway? You can easily get a tan from April thru September. Just go outside!!! And don't live in Bergen. haha. Very often the summers there can be like the summers in Seattle. Although every time I've been to Seattle, it's been sunny skies!!! By the way, if you log on to "alltinn" to look at what your neighbor earns, they will get a notice of who had looked at their income data. Haha. Stay safe!
Norse traveled to the Americas long before Columbus, and ended up mostly in Montana due to traveling in boats. Later many Norse Knight Templars also moved to Montana area.
I would actually like to see you react to a video called: "Where in the world is it easiest to get rich? | Harald Eia | TEDxOslo"
Harald Eia is a Norwegian comedian who is also a trained sociologist, and this is a good talk about the economy of Norway.
i have 8 "marius" sweaters... so yeah wool sweaters is a danm nice thing in the winter :) and a cabin ... most of us have too ... my family got infact 2 :)
Fun fact, most Norwegian students thinks nynorsk can burn and we should, apart from learning how to understand it (not write it correctly) spend our time on more useful things, like English, that I have actually used. Although I have passed the classes for nynorsk, I would not say I have ever written a text in proper nynorsk in my life.
Norway were at it's cultural peak about year 1200 till The Black Death. We had constitution, we had a written etc. If The Black Death didn't appear and we continued like normal into the modern times without the unions with Sweden and Denmark, we would write Nynorsk. Bokmål wouldn't exist. What Ivar Aasen did, is that he investigated how Norwegians spoke mid 1800. He looked back at Old Norse written and saw the direct link between Norwegian dialects mid 1800 and Old Norse written. Ivar Aasen made a grammar for the written standard he called 'Landsmål' (later Nynorsk). The job was done about 1855.
Bokmål wasn't fully Norwegian till 1950. Both juxtaposed by the Norwegian parlament in 1885.
This is why we have two written standards. We wrote in Danish but spoke Norwegian. We wanted to speak and write in Norwegian. Should we create our own written standard or should we modify Danish written standard to Norwegian? We went for both Bokmål and Nynorsk as official written standards.
About 1950 approximately 50% wrote Nynorsk. The reason Nynorsk fell behind, is simply politics. Oslo area is powerful ofcourse. Like my administrative municipality may not even realize that our municipality like many others are neutral, 50/50 bokmål and nynorsk but I never see nynorsk used.
Love your reactions.
Hi Tyler and all Norway friends. There are two famous films about Norway that you should see. One is called Hjältarna från Telemarken (The Heroes of Telemark) from 1965 with Kirk Douglas and The King's Choice (Kongens nei) from 2016. Both are about WW2 and they are very good. The Danish actor who plays King Haakon VII is very similar to the king.
YOUR VIDS ARE FUN ! Thanks !
I’d love to see your watch statistics to see the ratio of your viewers who are in Norway! Speaking from Oslo, it’s really cool to see your reactions and sincere surprises. It’s also interesting to get an honest second hand perspective, where some of our traditions that seem perfectly normal to us seem weird to others, but then also realizing that some parts of our culture is strange from an outside perspective. By happenstance I even wore my Marius sweater to work today, that my grandmother knitted for me! As a Marius, it brings a teeny bit of pride to wear that unique pattern on my chest, even though it has no other relation to me than my name.
I can’t wait to see you watch SEVERAL videos of Russefeiring, Russetid, and your reaction to things like Russebuss, Landstreff, Tryvann Russefeiring, and so much more. Just look up some of the wild sound rigs a single bus of 30 people rent out over a couple of days to win «best bus». Some time ago one group rented out the exact same sound system Metallica used for their tour!
(One of the best documentaries on this is «En gang i livet», which compares the celebration between the city and the districts)
You have heard the song «What does the fox say?»? That is Ylvis. And you shoud have heard of Liv Ullman 🙂
Love from Norway. About 5 million ppl of Norwegian decent live in the US.
The Nobel peace prize is in fact handed out in Norway and while on the topic I really recommend reacting to Norwegian singer Aurora performing her song Runaway at the 2015 Nobel peace prize ceremony.
Cabins are often inherited aswell. Those look very modern. Our family cabin is around 150 years old.
Laughed out loud at the "Ha!" bit - yes, it is true! 😂
nice ! thanks for the part 2
yeah, most norwegians OWN a marius sweater, they're rarely in use though...
for the cabin, not everybody has one but, most people have access to one through family, work or "turistforeningen"(sort of the hiking union).
note - if you plan on making a vid' on Norwegian cabintrips, you should include Ylvis' the cabin song(it's chock-full of tropes and commonalities on our cabintrips)
The sweater is just practical really. Even in Oslo you have to be prepared for -20 C, even though it's a long time since we had that last. The only thing that works in such temperatures are wool.
Keep it up! I enjoy watching ur videos 👍🏼👍🏼
fun song about our cabins. Ylvis - Cabin. Same guys who made the what does the fox say song
A lot of people have a cabin, but as i can see its also some cabin that is more expensive then the house. Not unusual that the cabin cost between 150.000 - 300.000 US Dollar or more.
Differences in dialects often have to do with differences in history. For example, people in Bergen say "boss" for garbage due to the Hanseatic league. I think it is due to what the word is in Dutch. Here in the east we say "søppel" which is similar to the Swedish who say "sopor"
theres over 5 million people living here and about 5 million different ways of speaking norwegian, everyone talks a little different
@@jrsviking215not enough to make each of them a different dialect. But you're right. many Norwegian words like "forrykt" and "salongfähig" is rarely used by anyone anymore. While it was reasonably common all the way up to the 1970s.
I think languages is like cultures. There are not two people ever born that have the same idea what Norwegian language or Norwegian culture even is. Even in språkrådet there are controversies.
You should check out the band Wardruna. They are dedicated to creating musical renditions of Norse cultural and esoteric traditions, and make significant use of Nordic historical and traditional instruments. I would suggest listening to the Song Helvegen featuring Aurora. It's a song about Hel. Warriors that died in battle went to Valhal to feast with Odin. All other went to Hel. Not to be confused with Hell.
The Nobel peace prize:
The rumors say Alfred Nobel (from Sweeden) wanted Norway to have the responsibility of the Nobel peace prize because he knew it would cause a lot of diplomatic problems 😁
Cabins:
My wife is from eastern Europe, and in her first year in Norway, she finds it strange that Norwegian who lives in the woods go even further in the woods on the weekends to their cabins. But I have never heard someone bragging about their cabins. We are usually not bragging about anything, which is the only thing we brag about. (Read Janteloven). But when we are drunk...
I'm only a quarter Norwegian and I still have one of those knitted jumpers/sweatshirts knitted by my mother.
Another thing to add about fish and export and ties to other countries. Norway was technically bugging japan for i dont even remember how many years begging them to use the norwegian salmon on their sushi cause we needed to sell salmon. But Japanese salmon is so full of paracites it was extremly hard for the japanese to accept it which is why it was so hard to sell to them. Now however its pretty common since we have great salmon
"i hi hi i li i" and "æ e i å æ å" are both completely valid sentences in their own dialects
also, everyone pretty much have their own way of speaking Norwegian, there's about 5,5 million people and 5,5 million dialects
You should definitely react to the song Helvegen by Wardruna and Aurora (live version). It is a viking inspired folk song that gives me goosebumps every time:)
No its not. Do not say something that. Its not "viking' why do ppl say its viking because its inspired by older traditions. Come on now.
Also: Part 2: Lumsk is a great "folk metal" band. Not too active in later years, but you have some fantastic songs based on northern mythology.
Other than that, we have Wardruna, a band with some norse inspired/themed music.
10:12 - the sweaters definitely look like the Christmas jumpers Brits like around this time of year.
oh we do use tanning beds alot too ( that's why we're really high on those skincancer rankings)
tbh cabins nowdays do have things like electricity, wifi and such, it's more the old school days that they didn't have tap water, wifi, they used generators to get electricity, and to keep cabins warm they used the fireoven / fireplace
Artificial tanning is dangerous and is also broadly considered being "Harry" in Norway :D
please have a look at "this is norway" from jenspetter. Its silly and fun, I couldn't find you checking it out so hope to see that :D Though "alt for norge" was fun (the first season), I think you would enjoy "kongen befaler" more, it is just the norwegian version of the british "task master" show, and I think the subtitles are a bit wonky, but OK-enough to still enjoy, very enjoyable.
I love Alt for Norge and I hope they come back.
Rarely watch Kongen befaler as it is not my cup of tea.
Huskestue is more my thing where you actually learn something. Btw it is with one of the old Tour the France riders, Dag Otto Lauritzen, well konwn man here in Norway.
@@MrCaprinut I can see that, hope it didnt sound like I ment it was "bad" in later seasons, alt for norge for me was a fun ride the first season, but I quickly grow bored with stuff and I didnt love it the same after I saw the first one. I am glad to know people still like it as the idea was super fun and its easy to understand why people want more of it! :)
So weird when showing famous Norwegians, there’s a lot more and bigger celebs. People I know most people would know (like artists who’s topped the charts in the last 10-15 years, sports in general.)
Yep. Seems only to list persons who is famous today. Nobody has mentioned the band TNT, which even toured USA. Most have heard 10000 lovers at least one time. If not they have lived under a rock.
Petter Solberg is a well known rally driver as well as rallycross driver Martin Schanche.
Harald Huysman did both Formula 3 and Indy cars among other class racing.
Fredric Aaasbø was world campion in drifting 2015.
Andres Ove Ugland raced Formula One powerboats, being europe campion in 93'
Motorsport seems to be forgotten by all.
Forgotten by most is Sig Haudahl land speed record sat at Daytona Beach Road Course in 1922 by 289km/h - 180mph.
I think the cabin ratio in Norway is about 1 in 30 Norwegians own a cabin. There are about 440k cabin/vacation homes in norway.
Also, there has been a shift. Norwegians like having all the amenities at the cabin too.

11:57 is there a history, he says. Yes, just a little. The entire Nobel Prize Fund was established by a Norwegian, Alfred Nobel, they're all always awarded in Norway. The story goes he invented dynamite, intended for peaceful purposes such as mining but he saw it get used in weapons of war and felt so bad he set up the Nobel Prizes to atone and to reward top scientists and peacemakers trying to make the world a better place.
Sámi here, we live in a land called Sápmi/Sámeednam/Saepmie (kinda like first nations of the US i guess) which covers large parts of Norway, Sweden and parts of Finland and Russia. We speak 11 different languages aswell as the languages of the majority in the countries we live in, most of us sadly lost our languages and culture due to the assimilation politics of the last century. But we fight to reclaim our rights.
You should definitely read up some more on us.
22% of the families own a a cabin (440 443cabins), so about 60% have access to cabin via familie relations
Kjersti Flaa has a great video where she interviews famous American actors that has Norwegian heritage.
And during WW2 the Norwegian Princess and the children(King Harald) lived in America, for a while they lived in the White House due to their close relationship with Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Most Norwegian do have cabins, for my parents they have a house, 2 cabins and a house in spain
You might want to take a look at the TV shows "Alt for Norge" and "Typisk Norsk". You should be able to find some of them here on TH-cam.

Yeah, they *are* in horror movies, that picture is from one.
In the actual fairytales they're a lot more attractive and less obviously scary.
I think most families have cabins. Atleast in mine cabins are shared and we have three across Norway. (Our family stretches from moss to Trondheim so 1 wouldn't cover all of us) we have a beach cabin and 2 mountain cabins. But there's 16 Norwegians that share them
Å ha 3 hytter er ikke normalt i en vanlig norsk familie. Det er jo luxus. Vi har aldri hatt hytte og knapt noen andre jeg kjenner heller. Så det svaret må du revurdere litt bedre. Har boplass og bil og er gjeldfri, men hytte kan jeg bare drømme om.
@@elisabethstermo9396 vel, CA 50% av befolkningen har familie tilknytning til en hytte. De fleste Jeg kjenner har en familie hytte de kan reise til for ferier. Jeg snakket Ikke på vegne av alle poenget mitt var at ikke alle eier personelige hytter men at families deler Dem. Våre er I bruk av besteforeldre. Tanter og onkler, søskebarn og oss.
Norwegian dialects are so different because of the geographical look of the country. With large fjords, mountain ranges and a nature quite difficult to traverse. It is/has always been a spread out people with tight knit communities. The dialects developed over generations because people were so isolated from eachother ( much guess). This was one of the concepts of Nynorsk. Ivar Aasen wanted to gather the most isolated dialects, and make a pure Norwegian language. Now most of the population curse his name for putting suffering upon thousands of children.
Happy Day, sweetetie 🌸🌸🌸
The Nobel Prizes are swedish, but Nobel Peace Prize is awarded in Norway.
alfred nobel was swedish, so all the nobel prices is awarded in Sweden, with the exeption of nobel peace price
My sister just got a DNA heritage test. Not surprisingly she's 98% Nordic (NOR/SWE/DEN) and 2% Finnish. In short: we're inbreeds.
To make it even more obvious:
- I own a cabin it the woods
- I have a Marius sweater (that I knitted my self).
You should react to downsides of moving to Norway!
Think, having a cabin is more of the rural areas ... in my hometown there are 357 cabins ... and something over 500 houses soooo... yes most people here in town have their own cabins.
Black Metal is singing about or screaming I would say about Thor and Odin and the forest spirits and stuff.
Folk Metl infuses any kind of folk instruments with a more wide kind of Metal. Much from Scandinavia, but you could aldo call American metal with banjo's for example Folk metal, I think.
Ca. 50% of the norwegians have access to a cabin (either you own or your closest family). And no, we do not brag about how bad our cabins are! The oldest living generation don't usually care about it because the lack of technology and access to power when they built it looong time ago.
You should react to some folk songs and folk dances! Especially the Halling dance
Skiing was comuting and transport during winther.
Also I don't own any sweaters of any kind. I wear shorts and t-shirts all year round and I hate the summer as I'm never cold and I struggle big time during summertime 😅
I didn't think I had more to say... but the Scandinavian history.
I think of it as about 1000 years of Sweden and Denmark fighting over, an/or swapping Norway, until Norway decided it wanted to be it's own independent... country for a while.
Now the Scandinavian countries have a sort of complicated sibling relationship. We might have some competitive rivalry. We might throw some insults (I think it's required by law), but it's usually just friendly jabs (until they get competitive).
In the end, we tend to have each others back. (And it's probably best to just stay back when you see Scandinavians starting to throw insults at each other.(Although I have seen some who seem to misunderstand that it's supposed to be playful))
(Edit: saw some mistakes... might have added other mistakes)
I HATE skiing. When I become dictator, it will be forbidden 😆
Mariusgenser Had one at some poit in my life. It Itches.
No cabin here. But two of my neighbours have.
Black Metal \m/ Check out Dimmu Borgir Live in Oslo. (with orchestra and choir)
Aksel Hennie had a role in "The Martian", with Matt Damon as the main character. Hennie played a german. That annoyed me a bit.
Kristoffer Hivju had the role of Tormund Giantsbane in the Game Of Throne-series
Alt for Norge - Hillarious
Sweden are NOT a member of NATO. Yet. Sweden and Finland applied to become NATO-members after Russia invaded Ukraine.
We have 2 cabins for getaway. One with no amenities and one with.
