Absolutely love Norway and the Norwegians. I was treated with such courtesy, friendliness; even the ticket inspector on the train took time out to chat to us and suggest interesting sights and sites.
I went to Europe in August 1990 with my girlfriend and her parents. We stayed at a beautiful Victorian B&B right on a fjord. I was utterly flabbergasted at the extreme scenery. I would love to go back some day. Thank you.
It's my second home. I was an exchange student there many years ago, and still go back to stay with my family and friends !! Been back about 12 times now. And yes, I speak, read and write Norwegian fluently too. I worked hard in that year to learn it. Couple of things though... the 24hr light and darkness can go a lot lower than the equator. Heia Norge !!
The "fact" about the sami is simply not true. The frozen wastelands in the north could not sustain any form of life until the first Norwegian settlers came up from the south when it got warm enough. The ancestors of the Sami came in from the east at a later period. There is substantial evidence supporting this, including haplogroup studies
My real great grandfather (born a Willis), was from Norway, and the family left Norway to escape poverty. The family has a weird quirk, where too many of my family keep giving away their kids. Aunts have given away half their kids. Great grandfather and his siblings were put up for adoption. Repeated by my father, whom just fathered kids everywhere without claiming them. What's really weird, is when they have a family reunion, and share the pictures with me, but didnt invite me or the other ones not claimed (lol).
This land has received several gifts from our Mother Earth. Lots of fish. Original rugged coastline Oil .Natural gas.Hydroenergy. And new natural resources (to produce fertilizers ) have been discovered recently. Over 50 000 Lithuanians , including my relatives, work there.
Number 40: America was discovered by Native Americans/Inuit/various groups from North Eastern Asia as earlier as 10s of thousands of years ago. Vikings were the first white European discovered the America.
Why do they brag so much? Inferiority complex? The poorest richest people in Europe, promoting engineered "happiness" with ultranationalism, antidepressants and high suicide rates no one dares talk about.
There is a gal from Norway that can S I N G ! ! ! Angelina Jordan. She won 'Norway's Got Talent' at the age of 8 in 2014. Very entertaining to watch her perform 4 songs to win the contest ! !
On one of my visits to Norway I went to buy a t-shirt but decided the asked price, a certain amount of Kroner, $75 in US currency, was too much to pay. The next shop I went into had the same price on their t-shirts. I decided I was just a poor American tourist.
@@glennso47 Yes, in most cases LGBT rights are just an excuse to persecute straight people. In America Homosexuals are given special status and have rights and privileges that no one else enjoys. You can say the most hateful things imaginable about white people or Christians in America and have no worries about being punished but if you speak out in any way about LGBT people get ready to be accused of "Hate Speech" and be censored and fired from your job.
Fun fact about Norway. They have the boringest TV in the world. They have chopping wood and knitting and fishing and paint drying shows that last for hours at a time. And I mean hours. Like 12 hours non-stop in some cases. Weeks can go by without a dramatic representation of a car chase or a person being shot in a TV program. Which makes the terrorist attack in 2011 tragically ironic.
You've spent how long here in Norway? Because your take on Norwegian TV is...odd. Yes, they had programmes like 'Hurtigruten minute for minute'. Such programmes were very popular to 'dip into', they were NOT all that was on offer...
I love the aerial view @1:11, of the people standing on the large chunk, of mountainside, with the Huge crack, in the jutting block, between them and the mountain. Oy Vey!!! 😨😨😱😱💀💀
0:27 It makes sense the three languages would be so similar; they are all Germanic languages and as such are very similar to German. Since English was primarily a Germanic language to begin with, there are a lot of similarities with other Germanic languages.
True, though in this case we split apart more recently; as I understand it we all spoke dialects of old Norse that have slowly drifted apart after the viking age. It also helps how Norway was a Danish holding for centuries while geographically and linguistically closer to Sweden, and how Denmark used to hold south Sweden - we've rubbed off on each other. For comparison, German was mysterious until I had lessons. (Though with that introduction the relationship is very obvious.)
No, they aren't that similar at all. Most Scandinavians would actually struggle to communicate and adopt English, which is a Germanic language too. It's not just geography, is it?
Wait until some of these imigrants from the 3rd world get the top jobs in Norway, they will be corrupt and dont want their wage to be published then they can then steal money from the public. It will take a couple of generations for this to happen.
Norwegians can do whatever, but got laws to stay within, and taxes to be paid, just as the US. They can sell their house, quit their job, go live in a cave in the mountains, nobody cares
Bokmål (book tongue/speech/language) is basically old Danish writings with some letters exchanged. "dt" became "tt" (Danish "fedt", Norwegian "fett") and the g -> k in certain words, like Danish "nog" -> Norwegian "nok". It's not very normative though, as Norway has far more local accents than Britain for instance. Living on Vannöya, you can actually tell which side of the island someone comes from. Nynorsk was a nationalistic effort to make something purely Norwegian, by taking all these accents (not diverse enough to be dialects) and make a hybrid written language from them. That is why the coins and notes in Norway are marked both "Norge" and "Noreg". Nynorsk never really took off, but there is a persistent minority using it.
I can only hope that Norway, Iceland and Japan will join the civilized world and stop murdering sea mammals that are highly intelligent social creatures and STOP WHALING.
Interesting that Norway gets its wealth (mostly) from oil and then appearing lily-white with electric windfarms and electric cars as far as their country is concerned. Reminds me of Al Capone making his money by selling booze during Prohibition and merchant protection but proudly pointing out his soup kitchens during the recession. Rather dubious accomplishments.
At the beginning of 2023, Poles predominated among migrants residing in Norway. 107,400 people from the Vistula from Poland live in the country of fjords. th-cam.com/video/ubaoCxMJaLc/w-d-xo.html 💚
Norway sounds like a wonderful place. I would love to visit there but I'm curious. What are the other countries besides the US and Norway that medal around in an individuals religion?
Well in most Muslim countries it's actually against the law to adhere to any religion other than Islam. You can actually get the death penalty in places like Pakistan if you publicly say anything against Islam. In the U.S. even though Christianity is the dominant religion, you can say anything you want against Christianity and have no fear of anything terrible happening to you.
The video is wrong. Norway DOES NOT HAVE A STATE RELIGION. It was abolished with changes in the constitution in 2012 and complete separation from any religion in 2017.
I don't doubt that Norway is a spectacular place to visit and live, a significant reason (I should think) being that Norway's population in January 2021 was 5.4 million, where in 2012, 75.2% of the total population are ethnic Norwegians (born in Norway with two parents also born in Norway). Compare that to the U.S., with a 2021 population of 331.9 million, and an ethnicity from every other nation in the world, where nobody (any longer) gives a crap about getting along. The multiculturalism of the U.S. (much touted as making the country far better that every other country is a bunch of bull.) You more-than-three-dozen other countries in the world (besides Norway) who are upwards of 85% monoethnic, should be getting along greatly. If you're not, you should be ashamed of yourselves.
Norway, along with the rest of Europe, is sacrificing it's own heritage and identity in the name of multiculturalism. The "utlanders" do not share your values or aspirations. The result is catastrophic for a sovereign nation. Sad.
You are so correct. Liberals point to places like Norway and say that they are great places to live and that Americans should be like them because they have low crime etc. But then they tell us that ethnic diversity is good. Yet in Norway almost everyone is white. Japan is the same. Japan has very little crime and almost everyone is the same race being Asian. So from where I sit, it doesn't look like diversity is actually good after all. America is just a nation of a hundred different groups and races that all hate each other and the country is slowly falling apart. I love all races but I don't think it is a good idea to try to make a country out of multiple groups that have nothing in common.
@@jlrutube1312 I think the MAJORITY of Americans think as you and I do but won't admit it out of being labeled RACIST. My mother's parents came over to American before The Great War. My grandpa was eager to assimilate and was so proud to show off his certificate after he became a citizen. He learned to speak English though always with a heavy Polish accent. He had a good job. Grandma had no interest in officially becoming a citizen. She simply stayed home and had 11 kids. Their oldest son eventually became the effective patriarch of the family and looked out for everyone. Nowadays the new immigrants (even many of the legal ones) aren't interested in assimilating. The new immigrants want the 'got here before you did' immigrants to adapt to THEIR ways. That's impossible to do with a 'hundred different groups' wanting everyone to be as they are. In my grandparents' time, America was called 'the great melting pot'. Today I call it 'a great caldron of slop'.
When I was going to school in Norway, it was explained to me that Norwegians understand Swedish, The Swedes understand Danish, and the Danes understand Norwegian, but not the other way around. For me, as an American speaking Norwegian, it was the reverse. But then again, I learned Bokmal which is of Danish origin.
@@finnyr9330 Here is the short documentary the Norwegian public service did about it: th-cam.com/video/s-mOy8VUEBk/w-d-xo.html&pp=ygUPbnJrIGRhbmlzaCBoZWxw
@@finnyr9330 As a Norwegian with a bit interest for different languages an accents I would put it this way; it feels like the 'biggest issue' regarding the scandinavian languages is many swedes having a quite hard time understanding danish any well. There is cases they end up speaking english to eachother. Othervise the understanding is more or less 'okay' in the other directions, imo) (maybe swedes and danes do not share that idea) Norwegian and Swedish is to me the most similar, easiest to understand, when spoken. the way of speaking, putting up the sentences, is quite similar Norway vs Sweden. Possible natural with the long common border. I understand 95%+ swedish accents with no bigger issue, now as an 'half old man', being exposed to the other scandinavian languages via TV , media for decades. The Danes got that German/Deuth influence to their speaking, and when also speaking fast, I have to focus more lisening to Dansih than Swedish.
@@dnebdal when I got lost cycling in Oslo and navigated from a paper map back to my friend’s place, I told him that I had been on Tøyengata… his reaction was “good thing it was daytime.. you’re white.. you could have been pushed into traffic at night”. I didn’t perceive any hostility myself at the time but neither did I ignore the precaution.
@@waltermartindale9008 There are always some parts of cities that are better and worse than others, true. I've been through there at night and felt safe enough, but on the balance I think I'd recommend visitors pick somewhere else to be past midnight on a Saturday, if that makes sense? It's not the wild west, but on the scale of Oslo streets it's also not the best. Besides, I think "no-go zone" implies even the police stays away, which is far from the case here - their headquarters are right down the street, and they wander around the area in the evenings.
I'm a bit tired of this. Yes, a Viking was the first European to "set foot" in North America. But he had no idea it was a whole new contenent, and they left after a short time. "Discovered" is a bit strong a word.
Norway is the largest shareholder of mining company denounced for contamination in the Amazon. The Norwegian government, responsible for harsh criticism of environmental policies in Brazil is the main shareholder of the mining company Hydro, the target of denouncements by the Federal Public Ministry (MPF) of Pará and of almost 2 thousand lawsuits for contamination of rivers and communities in Barcarena (PA), a municipality located in one of the most polluted regions of the Amazon rainforest. 840 Billion Dollars are stolen every year in Brazil by foreign countries, just in oil. The Norwegian Minister of Finance has just announced the profit of 120 billion dollars in 2022, which will increase to 138 billion dollars in 2023, in oil. Half of that profit is from Brazilian oil. That goes to Norway, for nothing, even without paying taxes to the Brazilian State. Everything is camouflaged and manipulated to hide, deny and even encourage an increase in theft, which is why the countries that most destroy the environment put pressure on the Brazilian Amazon. Because it has huge oil reserves and they have already destroyed almost all of its forests and now they want the rest of the Brazilian wealth. Say what they say, the Amazon still exists today, which would not have happened if it had been explored by the French, Israelis, Americans, Dutch, or English. The Norwegian Royal Family Member, Erling Sven Lorentzen, married with princess Ragnhild, sister of king Harald V of Norway, attacked and robbed the lands of the Amazonian Indians Tupinikim and Guarani, his company planted more than 1 million hectars of eucaliptus and left the natives without land and later without any water. In addition to facing lawsuits, the Hydro company has yet to pay fines stipulated by Ibama in the amount of R$ 17 million, after an overflow of toxic mud in rivers by one of its subsidiaries in the Amazon region, in 2009. According to Ibama, the spill placed the local population at risk and generated "fish kills and significant destruction of biodiversity". But all so called rich countries are stressing for destroying all the Amazon forest, because their ego is so rotten that they still prefer money, coins and material units to buy garbage and plastic toys, than life. After destroying all their own natural resources, they dont want that Brazil keep being the only country in the world who still have a big forest, because it wasnt transformed in money, like rich countries have done!
About 5 years ago I met a pretty Norwegian woman 20 years younger (at 54) and married her even though I knew virtually nothing about the country and culture. She came to this country (America) to get away from the cold and get an education. I am amazed at how poorly she is acclimated to the U.S. ways and culture. She knows how to do almost NOTHING. She can't open any package, food or otherwise, without ripping it open and making it almost impossible to close. I don't visualize any Supermarkets there, but only open-air-markets where nothing is packaged. Very poor driver with many minor accidents; got a Driver's License without having basic lessons and no depth perception. DUI's and many other incidents under-the-influence. Does not believe in God, though now I see that Norway has a State religion. Well, there's so much more. What a bad mistake I made. I had chances to marry nice Mexican women and passed on that. Sad. Well, I have better things to do now.
Bro, your lady might have been from a school of mentally retarded kids. I worked in one such institution for 15 years. I heard similar stories here in Lithuania.
Norwegians will absolutely not ever drive under the influence. Not ever, under any circumstances. You have corrupted her in only 5 years. Congratulations.
At 8:10 number 13 still prcticing the wailing, and didn't mention that the NORWEGIAN SALMON IS THE MOST TOXIC SALMON IN THE WORLD! Despicable people, Russia has to take over and civilize them!
German troops brutally invaded and occupied Norway to use them as a base against the Russians!!! It certainly wasn't to protect Norway from Russia. Get off youtube and go read a book.
I stay in India. India is far far different then Norway (Norrish). Surprise is that it has no religion. & other facts too are astonishing. India is densely populated, no. 1, with all sorts of crime & frauds. But still people are ambitious & on highest level of alert due to high competition for survival. Both the countries are different world all together. We are 5th largest economy & growing with 7+% GDP. Due to our Pm Mr Narendra Modi, blessed India is on the world map. In Hindu mythology we have 32000000000 Gods & Goddesses. ( Really). We worships Cows, Bulls, Dogs, Elephants & Snakes too. We worship complete Flora & Fauna. YOGA & Veda's are the gifts of India to the world. 70%of population is strictly vegetarian, mee too. We eat 100's of types of vegetables & Millet flat bread. We have 50 odd languages spoken in one country. Primarily we worship Lord ShriKrishna & Ram. We have Gods with Elephant head called Ganesh, But I wish to visit Nordic countries. I don't know if it's possible in this life. Say Hello to me on my WhatsApp +91 8669002831. Greetings Umesh Tasgaonkar

America is just a nation of a hundred different groups and races that all hate each other and the country is slowly falling apart. I love all races but I don't think it is a good idea to try to make a country out of multiple groups that have nothing in common.
@@jlrutube1312 I think the MAJORITY of Americans think as you and I do but won't admit it out of being labeled RACIST. My mother's parents came over to American before The Great War. My grandpa was eager to assimilate and was so proud to show off his certificate after he became a citizen. He learned to speak English though always with a heavy Polish accent. He had a good job. Grandma had no interest in officially becoming a citizen. She simply stayed home and had 11 kids. Their oldest son eventually became the effective patriarch of the family and looked out for everyone. Nowadays the new immigrants (even many of the legal ones) aren't interested in assimilating. The new immigrants want the 'got here before you did' immigrants to adapt to THEIR ways. That's impossible to do with a 'hundred different groups' wanting everyone to be as they are. In my grandparents' time, America was called 'the great melting pot'. Today I call it 'a great caldron of slop'.
shame they still do waling, poor wales
Norway is pronounced "NOOR-gay" in Norwegian, not "NORJ". :)
45 is false. Not even the Danes always understand each other, rest of us are without a chance.
When I was going to school in Norway, it was explained to me that Norwegians understand Swedish, The Swedes understand Danish, and the Danes understand Norwegian, but not the other way around. For me, as an American speaking Norwegian, it was the reverse. But then again, I learned Bokmal which is of Danish origin.
BTW - a Swede explained this to me English when I couldn't understand his Swedish at all.
@@finnyr9330 Here is the short documentary the Norwegian public service did about it:

@@finnyr9330 As a Norwegian with a bit interest for different languages an accents I would put it this way; it feels like the 'biggest issue' regarding the scandinavian languages is many swedes having a quite hard time understanding danish any well. There is cases they end up speaking english to eachother. Othervise the understanding is more or less 'okay' in the other directions, imo) (maybe swedes and danes do not share that idea) Norwegian and Swedish is to me the most similar, easiest to understand, when spoken. the way of speaking, putting up the sentences, is quite similar Norway vs Sweden. Possible natural with the long common border. I understand 95%+ swedish accents with no bigger issue, now as an 'half old man', being exposed to the other scandinavian languages via TV , media for decades. The Danes got that German/Deuth influence to their speaking, and when also speaking fast, I have to focus more lisening to Dansih than Swedish.
"Norway is one of the safest & most attractive places on the planet." Yeah, right; as long as one avoids the No-go Zones.
Which ones, where? I live in Oslo, and that's not a thing.
@@dnebdal when I got lost cycling in Oslo and navigated from a paper map back to my friend’s place, I told him that I had been on Tøyengata… his reaction was “good thing it was daytime.. you’re white.. you could have been pushed into traffic at night”. I didn’t perceive any hostility myself at the time but neither did I ignore the precaution.
No-go zones! You're joking, right? No such thing...

There are always some parts of cities that are better and worse than others, true. I've been through there at night and felt safe enough, but on the balance I think I'd recommend visitors pick somewhere else to be past midnight on a Saturday, if that makes sense? It's not the wild west, but on the scale of Oslo streets it's also not the best.
Besides, I think "no-go zone" implies even the police stays away, which is far from the case here - their headquarters are right down the street, and they wander around the area in the evenings.
I'm a bit tired of this. Yes, a Viking was the first European to "set foot" in North America. But he had no idea it was a whole new contenent, and they left after a short time. "Discovered" is a bit strong a word.
The rest of us got tired of Christopher Columbus.
Norway is the largest shareholder of mining company denounced for contamination in the Amazon. The Norwegian government, responsible for harsh criticism of environmental policies in Brazil is the main shareholder of the mining company Hydro, the target of denouncements by the Federal Public Ministry (MPF) of Pará and of almost 2 thousand lawsuits for contamination of rivers and communities in Barcarena (PA), a municipality located in one of the most polluted regions of the Amazon rainforest.
840 Billion Dollars are stolen every year in Brazil by foreign countries, just in oil. The Norwegian Minister of Finance has just announced the profit of 120 billion dollars in 2022, which will increase to 138 billion dollars in 2023, in oil. Half of that profit is from Brazilian oil. That goes to Norway, for nothing, even without paying taxes to the Brazilian State. Everything is camouflaged and manipulated to hide, deny and even encourage an increase in theft, which is why the countries that most destroy the environment put pressure on the Brazilian Amazon. Because it has huge oil reserves and they have already destroyed almost all of its forests and now they want the rest of the Brazilian wealth. Say what they say, the Amazon still exists today, which would not have happened if it had been explored by the French, Israelis, Americans, Dutch, or English. The Norwegian Royal Family Member, Erling Sven Lorentzen, married with princess Ragnhild, sister of king Harald V of Norway, attacked and robbed the lands of the Amazonian Indians Tupinikim and Guarani, his company planted more than 1 million hectars of eucaliptus and left the natives without land and later without any water.
In addition to facing lawsuits, the Hydro company has yet to pay fines stipulated by Ibama in the amount of R$ 17 million, after an overflow of toxic mud in rivers by one of its subsidiaries in the Amazon region, in 2009. According to Ibama, the spill placed the local population at risk and generated "fish kills and significant destruction of biodiversity". But all so called rich countries are stressing for destroying all the Amazon forest, because their ego is so rotten that they still prefer money, coins and material units to buy garbage and plastic toys, than life. After destroying all their own natural resources, they dont want that Brazil keep being the only country in the world who still have a big forest, because it wasnt transformed in money, like rich countries have done!
Well I saw 1 main reason not to visit
Norway also slaughters and ar whale and dolphin for fun . Nice country
Not nearly as bad as the countries that slaughter the unborn. You need to get some priorities for your outrage.
About 5 years ago I met a pretty Norwegian woman 20 years younger (at 54) and married her even though I knew virtually nothing about the country and culture. She came to this country (America) to get away from the cold and get an education. I am amazed at how poorly she is acclimated to the U.S. ways and culture. She knows how to do almost NOTHING. She can't open any package, food or otherwise, without ripping it open and making it almost impossible to close. I don't visualize any Supermarkets there, but only open-air-markets where nothing is packaged. Very poor driver with many minor accidents; got a Driver's License without having basic lessons and no depth perception. DUI's and many other incidents under-the-influence. Does not believe in God, though now I see that Norway has a State religion. Well, there's so much more. What a bad mistake I made. I had chances to marry nice Mexican women and passed on that. Sad. Well, I have better things to do now.
Bro, your lady might have been from a school of mentally retarded kids. I worked in one such institution for 15 years. I heard similar stories here in Lithuania.
Norwegians will absolutely not ever drive under the influence. Not ever, under any circumstances. You have corrupted her in only 5 years. Congratulations.
Well at 54,you should have known better to do your research about the country and its lifestyle...
wake up
🤣😂🤪
At 8:10 number 13 still prcticing the wailing, and didn't mention that the NORWEGIAN SALMON IS THE MOST TOXIC SALMON IN THE WORLD! Despicable people, Russia has to take over and civilize them!
Bahaha when will you take Ukraine? some army you have, cannot even defeat a much weaker neighbour. Russia is a joke
Norway was also a Neutral Country during WW2, for German soldiers protected Norway from the Russian Invasion.
German troops brutally invaded and occupied Norway to use them as a base against the Russians!!! It certainly wasn't to protect Norway from Russia. Get off youtube and go read a book.
Okay
Nice ! ... 😊
I stay in India. India is far far different then Norway (Norrish). Surprise is that it has no religion. & other facts too are astonishing. India is densely populated, no. 1, with all sorts of crime & frauds. But still people are ambitious & on highest level of alert due to high competition for survival. Both the countries are different world all together. We are 5th largest economy & growing with 7+% GDP. Due to our Pm Mr Narendra Modi, blessed India is on the world map. In Hindu mythology we have 32000000000 Gods & Goddesses. ( Really). We worships Cows, Bulls, Dogs, Elephants & Snakes too. We worship complete Flora & Fauna. YOGA & Veda's are the gifts of India to the world. 70%of population is strictly vegetarian, mee too. We eat 100's of types of vegetables & Millet flat bread. We have 50 odd languages spoken in one country. Primarily we worship Lord ShriKrishna & Ram. We have Gods with Elephant head called Ganesh,
But I wish to visit Nordic countries. I don't know if it's possible in this life.
