As an American I really enjoy watching TikToks about Norwegian culture. The internet has a funny way of creating the most random, fun, and educational videos about Norway. If you enjoyed the video feel free to leave a comment, like, or subscribe for more!
We Norwegians use Spikes on our Shoes.
Well, when we get older... I still haven't bought any....
True ❤sant😂
the more important question is,why don't americans,let's say in new york,where it can get way colder than norway.
hæ gjør vi
Jeg bruker aldri piggsko
Do not feed the reindeers Santa told them over and over as they get to fat to fly
On the skiing in the sunset video, you see my home in the background :))
In Norway you are free to roam as you like, this includes spending 8 hours walking up the mountain to spend 15-20 minutes skiing or boarding back down...
Paracet got paracetamol/acetaminophen and is the same as Tylenol/Panadol. Paracet and Ibuprofen is over-the-counter drugs, but we have stronger on prescription.
You can also get Ibux/Ibuprofen and some-other-name-I-forgot (green package) can't you?
These trolls are usually placed outside cabins and stuff. I think that in the olden days it was believed that they would protect the cabin against evil spirits when you're not there.
The lady on the bench is at the waters edge of a lake or fjord, the reflection in the clear still water makes it appear as if she is halfway up a cliff, hanging over the abyss
It's Hekseveggen at Hornelen
"Paracetamol is known as acetaminophen in the USA. Acetaminophen relieves mild-to-moderate pain, headache and fever. It is available as brand names such as Tylenol, Mapap or Panadol, and also as generics and store-specific brands."
I googled it, i didn't know forehand, but it felt strange that paracetamol was unknown to you in the US, but now i understand why, the naming is different.
To the person who put Odda on top of places to visit in Norway, you are an effing legend! (And I must say, not entirely incorrect, it is a fascinating and charming place with an equally fascinating history filled with great locals).
This reminds me to travel and be a tourist in my own country.
Technically we don't have to travel anywhere to see the northern lights, but chances are higher the further north you get. I think everyone has seen them at some point.
I haven't seen them yet, when there was the solar storm a few months ago there were too many clouds in the way, and last year there were some, but I didn't know that it was happening, so I didn't go and look for them. I hope that I will be able to see them one day though.
nope never,but i have visited pulpit rock.
The ice cream truck song is not actually a children's song; it is the famous Norwegian dance 2, by classical composer Edvard Grieg. Apart from being the jingle for the ice cream truck - and the tv show Norge Rundt - it is performed as classical music by piano or violin.
when it comes to the skiing, there are some very big skiing resorts/hills that have big ski lifts and stuff, but its also very common just to walk up a random mountain and ride down, without it being a commercialized place, like you are seeing in the clips at 9:15
Forgot the most important one : We're internationals in Norway, ofc we use full set of winter gear before the snow hits the ground 🤣🤣
0:43 Reindeers are both in wild and domesticated.
2:00 “Via ferrata” is italian and means via iron road. It’s wires and steps bolted in the mountain and does so everyone with normal mobility (and no fear of heights😅) can do rock climbing.
3:20 This is real but the strength varies base on the solar eruptions.
9:00 In Norway we have a law called “Freedom to roam”, the general public's right to access public or privately owned land, lakes, and rivers for recreation and exercise.
14:25 This is absolutely true and is commonly used language throughout Norway. She didn’t include “Ellers?” = “How are things with you and your family?” and “Du?” = “Sorry but can I disturb you with something?”
15:48 The ice cream truck plays “Norwegian Dance no. 2” by the world famous Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg because why not🤷🏻
so just like bob cats or lynx or tigers,some people have as pets.
@@runeingebretsen8378 More like cows and sheep.
@@kemering Bison should be even more appropriate to compare with. Well... and horses.
You guys DO have BOB in US. Both Salt Lake City and Beaver Creak.
Most Norwegians use spikes these days. I do every day during the winter and snowy season, as it's a part of the safety for my work :)
We actually got it after I fell on the ice, slid underneath my lorry, and hit my arm and shoulder pretty hard. Was out of work for allmost 4 weeks, and hard trouble moving my arm.
Thankfully my workplace have really good understanding for injuries, and respects it :)
Came back stronger, and ready to work :)
Trolls is an old folk belief in the northern countries and alot of legends were told.
For amusement, I recommend you to watch the Norwegian movie: Troll.
Nice reaction, Tyler. Written for the algorithm as I know you don't read comments. I don't blame you with this poisonous Silvana hanging here.
The lady on the bench did say she was afraid of losing her mobile...
We can see the Aurora even were we live in Fredrikstad, thats one hour down from Oslo.
You don’t strictly *have* to go north to see the Northern lights. It appears all over the country, but very frequently and clearer up north. I think I have seen it twice and I live on the west coast.

@veridicusmind3722

- That's true...
Although auroras are most common between 60 and 75 degrees of latitude, they can and do appear further south as well as further north.
And the intensity is usually at the strongest around the equinoxes.
-----
It is actually true tourists in the winter is like seeing Bambi on ice😂 but when we get older or are afraid of falling norwegians use spices as well on shoes.
You can see the northern lights all over Norway usually, just easier to see them up north as they more often appear near the artic circle, but if the solar rays are stronger, the northern light goes further south, even as far down as Denmark some times.
My great-great grandfather was a troll carver, Anton Sveen. So we have alot of trolls put up as well 😂
He must have started carving while Theodor Kittelsen was alive? (Hard to tell just by your description)
Either way, that is awesome.
@@SebHaarfagre born the year Kittelsen died. Anton passed in 2009 😊
People having raindeer in Norway like farmers having cows. Alot of them are sami people. They have huge numbers of them. I saw they taking them back down from the montain with helicopters. Flying over and guiding them
Not "a lot". All. The law is pretty clear. Only those of sami heritage AND who has had parents or grandparents who also owned raindeer are allowed to own raindeer.
@@68covah ok, learned something new to day then👍🏻 around 200.000-250.000 raindeer and 3000 people owning raindeer.
@@68covah Also, most reindeers are domesticated, there is a small amount south that are not domesticated and those on Svalbard that are allowed to hunt on.
in america they have bison on the farm,so i don't understand why americans think it's so strange.
The right to roam, are esential to sking, hiking in Norway.
Gives everyone the right to trespass on public and privat land as long as your activities do not pose a hinderence to the land, this do not include cultivated land, or private gardens, in rural arias you are alowed to camp for 24 houers without seaking permision from the landowner, as long as you kep a distanse of 500ft to the nearest inhabitated structure.
Modern representation of trolls is kitsch.
Love the video
You Can see the Norden leigth in Norden part of Finland, Sweden, Canada, Greenland.
4:50
You only get 500 mg paracetamol or 200 mg ibuprofen pills without a prescription in Norway.
Anything stronger requires a prescription from your doctor or dentist or someone like that...
9:13
Remember, you can ho to *any* mountain here.
A mountain being private property doesn't matter.
So you just ski uphill, then ski back down.
Probably without seeing anyone else once you've left the urban areas...
Of course, you'll have to worry about avalanche risk etc yourself as there won't be anyone making the area safe for you.
10:24
That's the front of the ship, and I'm not really seeing why anyone thinks this is scary...
He's probably a deckhand or something...
500 mg without presrciption huh,so nobody can just take 2 tablets,or more.
I live in Odda, beautiful in the spring and summer, and every one from all over the world comes here to go to Trolltunga and Buerbreen. They Come from USA, australia, Spain and so on.
Bro I had this video on in the background while playing video games and heard the ice cream truck sound and then I got confused because it isn’t Saturday today
The Sami people are in fact reindeer farmers. So it's not unusual to see people interact with reindeer. Even the royal family has been using a reindeer sled.
Of course there is a bench 😊 we have those everywhere 👍😎
Yeah, I did bobsleighing in Lillehammer when I was young. Everyone can do it.
Here in the capital, ice in wintertime really means ice. There is no way of penguin-walk that. Unless you don't mind breaking a few legs, you need spikes here in the capital.
they must really go all out on the salt in america.
seeing the northern lights is epic
We do use spiked boots from time to time. Public services are very good at clearing the roads, the sidewalks - not so much. And here on the west-coast, with winter temps hovering around freezing in parts of winter, that snow soon turns into black ice...
50% of us are born with skies and 50% with spikes. It just depends on where you are born.
Keep upp the good work Tyler👏👏👏🇳🇴👍
16:30 that sound can be heard from far far away, and everyone knows exactly what it is the moment they hear the sound. I've heard a lot of parents hate it, because kids quickly figured out what the sound means, and they just can't say no to their kids, even though the prices for ice-cream from the ice cream truck is expensive compared to stores.
15:04 Yes, it's actually true, we in Norway say the three words there, oj, hæ and næmmen.
Most reindeers are owned by native Norwegian "farmers". So people do not feed random wild reindeer
Do more tiktoks i like theese series 😁 to bad you didnt see the algea videos of norway atm thats something cool we rearly experience ourself
Paracet is the same as Tylenol!
You should visit Norway and do the thing you think would be fun
We only feed the tame Raindeer.
In Norway we have the Freedom to go anywere to ski.
Almost everyone has a troll collection
@@user-di7jn2ne5k You’re trolling
07:29 it depends on the neighborhood. If you live in a boligbyggelag or similar, then it's common to at least greet each other, and occasionally also chat a little bit. But, generally speaking, Norwegians prefer to keep to themselves unless they explicitly invite others.
Under 1 hour gang
Under 1 time jeng

16:08 He was jumping on a trampoline😭
There are raindeer farms they are owned and operated by the indigenous people of Norway
Please call them the Sami
Since the norse have also been at what we call Norway for very very long. Longer than there have been any humans at New Zealand for example. Where do the norse people in Norway come from? Who knows. Were there previous people before the norse people? The archeology doesn't have a super clear answer on that
But what is clear is that we have been here for more than a thousand years. Doesn't that make us indigenous to the southern parts of the country?
Yes, there are 2 indigenous people of Norway, Norwegian and Sami.
@@TullaRask Actually no ... there is only 1 indigenous people in Norway and that is Sami, this comes from when Norway rattified ILO convention, it only granted sami this status, Norwegians are a common group of people living in Norway ... none-sami people are norwegians just as sami-people living in Norway but does not hold this status, same with Kven... they are not indigenous but minority in Norway and there are ofcourse several other groups that are minorities of Norway... Majority of Norwegians do not have any other status than being Norwegians, well suppose you could say majority is a status ofcourse.
@@arcticblue248 My issue is just that it gives the wrong impression. When I'm talking about Norwegians in this context I mean people who have lived here for centuries and has maybe even family back here to "Harald Hårfagre" I'm not saying Sami don't need protection, only that the word indigenous gives the wrong impression.
I have seen a fantastic northern light in Bergen.
and in norway you need doctor to write prescription for strongest meds in stores we can get paracet , at the apotek we can maybe get more im not sure.
This vinter the northern lights was visible all the way to the sothern most part of Norway. This was not unusal to see when i was a child Down in the south but nowadays its to much light pollusion going on so you cant really see them in and around the City.
For the question that we do have so many smaller mountain so you could always find this, but often they wouldn't have the ski path prepared (one of the reason they ain't popular), but you could easily find some of them, yeah.
But, we do also have several that are extremly popular too.
And yeah about the camping this is one of the greatest thing about Norway. Everyman's right too be traveling, camping everywhere you wan't as long you are staying 150 meters away from any house/industry. As long you staying that distance from any property owned police or 99,99% of the people wouldn't bother you with the issue like the american people have. But one of the things that's fantastic about beeing in Norway is that most of the people are conflict shy in contrary too the americans who loves conflicts.
YES WE DO HAVE SPIKES UNDER OUR SHOES 😅
Can you find private space in Norway?
Hello.... we are fewer people in 1 contry, than most other contyes have in 1 city.
i hope it stays that way :D.
we feed the raindeer if you are at where the Sami is i think those are domesticated and is allowed to pet if they allow you to =)
4:58 Paracet is for headace
I have seen Northern Light in Oslo.
Its called northern lights for a reson north oslo is not north
@@solphonicsmeow7565 for real? All of Norway is north dunce
@@solphonicsmeow7565 Guess someone living in Greece or South Africa would call Oslo north?
@@solphonicsmeow7565 You can still see northern light in Oslo when the conditions are right.
Just make sure to go out of the city where there are less light pollution.
Reindeer can be domesticated, they're probably her farm animals, or someone's anyway. Do not feed wild ones. Or domestic ones without the farmer's permission.
You can go up any mountain and ski if you are brave enough.
Exept for in the moose hunting season there are few people out in the woods anymore. I do a bit of small game hunting and fishing. I can walk for hours not seeing a single person. It's actually nice. During Covid there were a lot of people in the wilderness...I disliked it! :)
WE ARE NOT THAT SPECIAL 😂
The SUN has the biggest sunspots and therefor biggest sunstorms in recorded history and therefor brightest Northern lights. This year there actually can Northern lights appear other places in the world. (It can lead to electrical break down for a week if a sun storm hits the earth directly).
Btw: Reindeer is up North with the lights so this year is recomended I would think
There are places in Norway where you can feed moose as well as reindeer.
Don't feed the bears though!
I wouldn't recommend feeding wild animals. They will learn to expect it ang around your house. They might even hang around and starve to death if you decide not to feed them.
Reindeer are domesticated in the north, so they behave a lot like normal cattle.
Most Norwegians have NOT seen the Northern lights, they are pretty hard to encounter. They do occur pretty much everywhere in Norway, though, but you´re most likely to see them in the northern parts. Also, the weather has to be on your side, any clouds will ruin it.
4:50 - Paracet = Paracetamol - You´re not allowed to be this dense, Tyler. Also, nobody mentioned it was a painkiller!
Most _active_ Norwegians who are not very young, will have seen it. During Easter, for instance, in the mountains.
the norrthen light is verry normal in norway
Wait this guy has a canada channel, uk channel, and norway channel? What other channels does he have?
Like inam a norwigian and yes we have so much space
AND YEAH TROLLS ARE WERY POPULAR 😅
❤
The Sami heard Reindeer. I assume they are half domesticated.
Well im soon to be 62 and have not traveled to see the The northern lights 🇧🇻😂
What is going on in Tyler’s background?
Chaos
Paracetamol, næmmen in Stavanger is skasei.
We're norwegians, ofc we swear when we get hurt
Gå til Norge for en video og prøver forskjellige ting som du har lyst til
I have seen the northern lights
Are you of Norwegian heritage ?
I've tried to seen the northern lights many times but it's never happened. This is probably gonna be the year though
REINDEERS;
yeah, it's mostly a tourist thing.
I work w REINDEERS and we have visitors, but we very seldom leave them alone w the heard.
And the only way to get them to you, if they are used to getting food.
Out in the wild, they'll normally stay far out of reach from you.😉
They have an extreme since of smelling
Well..when visiting my partner’s family in the Kirkenes area reindeers are everywhere. They hang around right outside the house, and barely move when we walk between houses/sauna. When we go to our “local store” in Finland for groceries, it’s not only a dog or two who wait outside the store, it’s often reindeers too. They seem to be much more curious than shy. I’m from Oslo and used to dogs but reindeer..haha, not so much! And the fact that the dogs didn’t chase the reindeer and the latter didn’t mind the dogs was fascinating too.❤
I grew up on an island in Finnmark, and there were reindeer around the houses all the summer. They were not particularly afraid of people. When I had a summer job as a youth, I went over a ridge early in the morning. The herd was often in the middle of the path, and I had to chase them away to dare to pass. They liked to graze in people's flower beds, so everyone had fences with cords and strips of plastic that fluttered in the wind at the top to prevent them jumping over the fence - and we kids were told to put the bikes in front of the gate so they didn't jump over it .
Bro i am a norwigian and i am just like why😂😂
Yes we Norwegians can walk on ice were built diferant
Oj Oj 😊
Subscribe to the norwegian cat if you enjoyed this vid
im from norway
😂😂
Hello i really wanna know why did u choose to talk about norway and not another country like i love it im from norway but i whanna know why norway
Well, it's not that weird to feed the reindeer... they have been domesticated.
Paracetamol
Northern lights aren't very bright. At least not when appearing in southern Norway
So this might be a trick of the camera
Its brightness seems to be somewhere between that of stars and the moon
That depends on the solar activity - they can be very bright like this, seen it with my own eyes over Bergen
Sotra is not the place to watch northern lights. It can ofte be this bright furter north.
alot of videos done of northen lights are showing alot more light than normally because they use longer exposure and stuff like that so yes there are some trickery but up in the north you can see large clear aurora's .. still you see more with cameras than your eyes.
@@IstadR That is very true
That woman with the long hair is completelly wrong. Those short words she names, are always followed by something more detailed.
Not neccesarily much more, no. I would say something like Oi, da! - Hæ, ka du sa? - Næmen, lenge sia!
@@maritrasmussen9023oi is very often followed by “unnskyld”! Never met anyone who bumped into me only said “oi”
“Limited?”
The only country in the world with more ski resorts than the U.S. is (somewhat surprisingly) Japan.
I mean I don't think most people go to a resort when skiing
-----
@Doneforful
-----
- There are in total 172 ski resorts/areas in Norway, and that amounts to about 1 resort/area per 32340 people.
Comparably, in the USA, where there are 503 ski resorts/areas, and that amounts to about 1 resort/area per 679542 people.
-
But as you say, there are places that people ski outside of these specific areas mentioned above.
And in Norway there is ample opportunity to go skiing fairly close to where they live a lot of the time.
It's cheaper too not having to pay for f.e. day-pass or weekend-pass in order to go skiing, not to mention not having to pay for a place to stay for the weekend or longer.
-----
Why is that surprising? Did you skip geography lessons in school? 73% of Japan is mountains.
-----
@peacefulminimalist2028
-----
- It has got nothing to do with geography...
It's this person's arrogant notion that the USA is the best at everything that is the root of the matter.
Basically, bigger, better, stronger, faster and/or smarter...
Anything that manages to break this illusion is a surprise to them, if not something that has to be disproven and/or undermined.
