As an American there are some many things about Norway that I don't know about. Today I am very excited to continue learning about 45 unique facts about Norwegian culture that I have never learned about before. If you enjoyed the video feel free to leave a comment, like, or subscribe for more!
He was pronouncing Norge wrong, you were right.
This sounds like a computer-generated voice reading
Norge is actually pronounced 'Nor-ye', like Sverige (=Sweden) is pronounced 'Sver-ye'.
@@jonaselsen-carter7003that depends on where you’re from in Norway and in Sweden.
The pronounciation changes with the dialect.
@@jonaselsen-carter7003 No it isn't. The G was once pronounced like a K (Norrige = Norriket), but now it is pronounced as a hard G.
@@jonaselsen-carter7003 er du svensk? Jeg tror ikke det er mange nordmenn som uttaler Norge som "Norje". Kanskje noen dialekter nær Sverige?
Roald Dahl is most famous for his captivating and imaginative children's books. His notable works include "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," "Matilda," "The BFG," "James and the Giant Peach," and "Fantastic Mr. Fox."
And the witches 🧙♀️
He's also written a bunch of short stories, including one called "switch bit**". 😅
wait whaaaaat?! Roald Dahl wrote charlie and the chocolate factory?! hadde ingen anelse om det 😅
I love Mathilda❤
As a retired Marine. I've been to Norway 4 times. Amazing experience. Only other country I'd live in
American skier Jessica Diggins won Tour de Ski today which is really impressive. Jessica Diggins (born August 26, 1991) is an American cross-country skier. She and teammate Kikkan Randall won the United States' first-ever cross-country skiing gold medal at the Winter Olympics in the team sprint in 2018.At the 2022 Winter Olympics, Diggins won the silver medal in the 30 kilometer freestyle and the bronze medal in the individual sprint, making her the most decorated American cross-country skier of all time. She also won four medals at the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships from 2013 to 2017 and would later become the first American to win a gold medal at the event for an individual contest in 2023. In 2021, Diggins clinched the top spot in the women's overall standings for the 2020-21 FIS Cross-Country World Cup, becoming the first American to do so.
I’m from Norway, but I love it when Diggins wins❤️
Roald Dalhl: Author of Matilda, Charlie and the chocolate factory, The BFG, The Witches, Fantastic Mr. Fox ect…
I think most young ppl does'nt know him. This gen. Is 20 yrs to young and have new interrests. Internett
I believe you know who Roald Dahl was; He wrote "Charlie an the chocolate factory", "Mathilda" and a lot of other "children's'" books. Jo Nesbø is famous for his crime novels.
Jo Nesbø is also a musician 🙂🎶
@@tonemarieantonsen1597 Yes, a very great one. Thank you for informing the world about this. Even if he sings in Norwegian, I belive many aliens will still like the music.
Jo Nesbø's crime novels have been translated to more than 50 languages, and he has sold over 50 million books.
Your pronunciation of Norge is correct, or almost. The E is very short. The vulcano is called Jan Mayen. It's between Iceland and Svalbard. Roald Dahl wrote Charlie and the Chocolate factory among a lot of other childrens books.
The island that the volcano is located on is Jan Mayen, but the volcano itself is called Beerenberg.
Who found America first, and where did he come from?
Eirik the Red was born in Norway but was outlawed and moved to Iceland. His son, Leifr Eiriksson was born in Iceland, but since Eirik was also outlawed from Iceland, he discovered and moved to Greenland, which is where Leifr Eiriksson lived when he discovered America in the year 1000. The story about it was written in Iceland approx. 2 centuries later (one of the Icelandic Sagas), and archeological evidence that support the sagas was found in Newfoundland.
Beerenberg the Volcano is located on the island Jan Mayen that is 1000 km (621 miles) from the Norwegian coast much closer to Greenland (460 km - 285 miles) than Norway and only scientists stay there sometimes. It last erupted in 1985.
Bokmål and Nynorsk are both written languages. Bokmål is pretty much a written form of a danish dialect, while nynorsk consists of words handpicked from particularly unique norwegian dialects from small towns and rural areas all around Norway. If you read norwegian bokmål and danish the words are pretty much the same. Nynorsk is closer to old norwegian which is a close sibling to old Norse and Icelandic language.
Bokmål and nynorsk are written FORMS of Norwegian: they are not languages.
Nynorsk reflects mpr of the sound and grammar changhes tyhat has taken place in spoken Norwegian while Bokmål is closer to Danish, but with the sound system and spelling better adapted to spoken Norwegian (like Danish æ becomg e, the g not turning into an English w sound etc).
Be aware of "false friends": Danish and Norwegian words may look the same but can mean different things. The most obvious example: grine. In Danish, smile or grin; in Norwegian cry (with tears, not shout).
Icelandic is structurally and grammatically closer to Norse but has undergone quite dramatic sound changes over the last 1,000 years; changes that are not parallell to Norwegian or Danish.
Although we were neutral during the First World War. Many Norwegian ships were torpedoed and 2123 Norwegian sailors lost their lives.
I,m Norwegian, I learned somthing here.
We have a Volkano. LOL
I did not know that.
Its on Jan Mayen and last erupted in 1980..
1985 actually@@hwplugburz
Jo Nesbø is one of our most famous authors (next to Roald Dahl if you count him :) ). If you are into crime (Nordic Noir), most of what he's written is highly recommended. Starting of with the Harry Hole books might be good, tho!
Norway didn't have an independent government with a foreign policy agenda in Nobels time, so he put the peace price comitee here to decrease the chances of political influence on the committee
The video is wrong, Norway does not have a state religion. It was abolished in 2017 completely, 100% separating state from church and religion. There is no such thing anymore.
That is actually what the video said.
@@jeschinstad NO. The video said "Norway does however have a state religion". Norway DOES NOT have a state religion. Don't comment until you watch what you're commenting on.
@@Atlas_Redux: You are so proud of not having read the constitition, aren't you? This is §4.
@@jeschinstad I QUOTE: "I april 2008 ble det inngått tverrpolitisk forlik i Stortinget om endringer av statskirkeordningen. Forliket la blant annet opp til at retten til utnevnelse av biskoper og proster skulle overføres til kirkelige organer forutsatt at det i perioden 2009-2011 ble gjennomført demokratireformer i kirken. Med bakgrunn i kirkeforliket vedtok Stortinget 21. mai 2012 grunnlovsendringer som endret relasjonen mellom stat og kirke. Staten har etter dette ikke lenger en offentlig religion, og kirkelig statsråd er avviklet. Biskoper og proster utnevnes av kirkelige organer."
@@jeschinstad You are most likely thinking of §2, not §4. §2 was changed in 2012 and 2017 to remove all religion from the state. Again, §4 adhere to the King. Not the state. Also, I'll translate part of my last comment so people don't confuse your absolute nonsense with reality: "21. May of 2012, the constitution was modified to change the relation between state and church. After the change, the state no longer has an official religion, and the ecclesiastical minister has been disbanded/revoked/discontinued."
A brief history: Norway used to be a bunch of differen small kingdoms until Harald Fairhair united it into one kingdom in 872. The black death came to Norway in 1349, it decimated the country, between 2/3 and 3/4 of the population died within 2 years, the death rate among the ruling class was likely some of the highest because they had to go out an rule ppl. This created a weak nation. In order to become more powwful, Norway joined the Kalmar Union in 1397, and that is how we became under Danish rule. In 1814 Napoleon lost and was shipped off to the island of Elba, and Denmark who had been on Napoleon's side had to forfit Norway as a prize of war to Sweden. That is how Norway became under Swedish rule 1814-1905. In Norway, being a prize of war was not a popular idea. Prominent men got together and wrote our constitution, it was signed 17 May 1814, still celebrated today as constitution/independence day. There was a large movement to make Norway independent again, and it was achived in 1905. Since then Norway have been free with the exeception for the 5 years of Nazi rule from 1940 to 1945
Written languages: Bokmål and Nynorsk
Official spoken languages: Norsk (Norwgian) and Samisk (Sami).
Note: Sami in Norway consists of different languages: Northern Sami, Lule Sami, and Southern Sami.
Pite Sami and East Sami are also currently going through a revitalisation phase.
The three Sami languages are official written languages, too.
@@ahkkariq7406 Sorry. You are of cause correct😅
Whale meat is really good ❤
Yes, but way to expensive.
The name "Norway" in Norwegian can be a little confusing for foreigners. In Norwegian bokmål it is "Norge", but in Norwegian nynorsk it is "Noreg" To make it even more confusing,- from 1917 until 1938 it was called "Norig" in nynorsk.
Roald Dahl...just think Charlie and the chocolate-thingy... ;)
That almost sounds like bbc porn.
Regarding whaling..
Norway do not alllow hunting of endangered or threatened species...
The whales that are hunted in limited numbers have an healthy and strong population. This fact is recognized internationally.
Norway is hunting endangered wolfs and bears among others. So, yes, we do hunt threatened species.
@@lillia5333 There is no qouta for hunting bears and wolfs in Norway.
You can get a permit to take out problematic individual animals...
So no, your statement is a lie, or at best misleading.
A short explanation on the Bokmål, and Nynorsk: Both of these are writing languages and not something we speak as we only speak Norwegian in Norway. People mess this up due to how many dialects we have in Norway. What you could say however, is the longer north you go, the more the dialects match Nynorsk, and the south-east side is closer to Bokmål. On the west coast, and south the dialects vary from town to town even, though i would personally say it is closer to Bokmål. A thing you also mentioned by how Scandinavians understand each other, this is largely due to us being under Danish, and Swedish rule. The languages all just fold together in a way
Roald Dahl's father was from Sarpsborg, just like mine 😀 Maybe I should write a book 🤔
Beerenberg is the world's northernmost active volcano and is located on Jan Mayen.
we have a dead volcano near a water called Eikeren. it's in buskerud øvere-eiker. could probably find some obsidian there but i don't know if it's allowed to go looking for it or not. we do like to preserve as much nature/geography as possible. this is in land norway on the east. more than that one i don't know.
There is also one on Bømlo, named "Siggjo", not active but there are earth quakes in the area. Growing up I learned that there had NEVER been volcanoes in Norway, imagine my surprise moving to the west and learn that on the island to the west there was a mountain that was an old volcano..
Your soon hitting 17 000 followers. I saw you were stuck just below 15 000 for very long. Glad it’s getting up there👍
My Swedish great grandfather and Norwegian great grandmother met in Minnesota and met each other in a Swedish church. Because Swedish and Norwegian are 95 percent mutually intelligible, my great grandparents understood each other nearly perfectly.
Even more impressive, Leiv Eriksson visited America 500 years BEFORE Christopher Columbus. He also founded several settlements. One of the settlements have been found by archaeologist Helge Ingstad, together with his wife Anne Stine Ingstad at L'Anse aux Meadows on the north coast of Newfoundland in the 1960s.
You have Norge right, and the Norje is worng.
The English name Norway is most likely based on the traditional explanation of the country name Norge/Noreg, which assumes that the name comes from Norse *norðrvegr and means "the road towards the north" or "the country towards the north".
From the middle of the 19th century, there have been at least two different interpretations of the country name Norge (Bokmål) and Noreg (Nynorsk):
"The land towards the north" - norðrvegr
"The land along the narrow fjords" - norvegr
The first meaning is the most common explanation. The second explanation was first launched in the mid-19th century, and was picked up again in the 2010s.
Roald Dahl is the the writer of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory amongst other children books. he sold over 300 million books worldwide.
Thank you for sharing! Really interesting and amazing.
Bye! Fabio from Italy
Norway has quotas on the common minke whale and it's regulated and kept as sustainable as possible, whale meat is also a delicious when cooked correctly, and somewhat comparable to steak, it's also quite healthy and a just a good source of nutrients overall.
Bro you've watched videos about Roald Dahl before. Hes famous around the world.
Although the video narrator did say like he said Roll dall
9 - Volcanoes
There are no active volcanoes on the Norwegian mainland, but Beerenburg on the Norwegian island of Jan Mayen, located on the Atlantic Ridge between Svalbard and Iceland, had its most recent eruptions in 1970 and 1985.
However, there are several active undersea volcanoes in Norwegian arctic waters, especially along the Atlantic Ridge. Most are deep sea volcanoes at a depth of +2500 m (8200 feet), but some are at a depth of only 20 m (65 feet) and those will most likely create new islands in the not so distant future. These are located not far from Jan Mayen.
Both the Norwegian dependencies of Bouvet Island annexed in 1930 (located just off the Southwest Indian Ridge, east of the triple junction between the African, South American, and Antarctic plates) and Peter I Island (located in the Bellingshausen Sea, 450 kilometres (240 nmi) from continental Antarctica) are extinct shield volcanic islands. There are also several ancient extinct volcanoes in Queen Maud's Land in Antarctica, claimed by Norway in 1939, not internationally recognized and regulated under the Antarctic Treaty from 1959. (Peter I Island, claimed by Norway in 1931 also falls within the purview of the treaty).
nynorsk (new norvegian) and bokmal (book language) are more like 2 writing/spelling systems than actual dialects afaik. norway has many dialects which often vary a lot and some areas use bokmal and other use nynorsk for writing depending upon the dialect. bokmal is the one that is used the most.
Roald Dahl wrote Mathilda and Charlie and the chockalate factory. And Withches + Manny more, Georges magiacal Medicine needs a movie to if you ask me.
i think some of the reason why our police is soo good, is because their training is way more extensive than in the u.s. In norway they have to take a bachelors degree- 3 years
Hello from Norway.
Norway is called Norge in Bokmål, and Noreg in Nynorsk.
Both Bokmål and Nynorsk is written and talked language :)
And yes, the talker in the video is butchering how we say Norge. You say it more like we do than he did :p
Wanna add this. As of 2017, the church is legally independent of the government. According to the constitution it serves as the "people's church" in the Kingdom of Norway. No disrespect to anyone's religion. You do you. I can't stomach any religion. This is a great thing for the like-minded.
The cheese slicer is for many cheeses 😂
Yes, we were neutral in WW1, but we helped the allies with our fishing fleet, which at the time was the largest in the world.
After the war we had lost a huge number of ships to the Germans.
Bokmål is the biggest dialect, nynorsk is spoken by 13 %. And were got many more dialects all around Norway.
Hey Tyler.
I know youre channel is mostly dedicated to Norway.
But it would be cool if you also could react to Sweden and denmark.
Coming from a fellow scand❤

Re. oil: Don't get high on your own supply...
Norway's oil is invested in the world's largest pension fund, and we avoid using anything but the interests.
Tyler, you pronounce Norge correct.
Both are written languages, here are some facts about Nynorsk.
"Nynorsk is mostly used in Western Norway as a written language (by roughly 10 % of the people, amounting to about half a million), Bokmål is dominant in the rest of the country, and is used in writing by close to 90 %."
"Does anyone speak Nynorsk?
Nynorsk was created in 1885 with the goal of making Norwegian more accessible to Norwegians. The first Nynorsk textbook was published in 1886. Today there are about 2 million people who speak Nynorsk as their first language and about 1 million who use it as a second language."
Now this part about making Norwegian more accessible is a bit stupid I think cause its not one Norwegian that does not understand Bokmål and cannot use Bokmål. It is better with one written language than two in my opinion but that opinion is almost viewed as political so... yeah. Not going to say much more.
I remember when we had to learn Nynorsk in High School and it was horrible for most of us, we hated it because most of us would always write Bokmål. They used to be able to choose if they wanted to learn it but when I was in high school the whole thing had changed and was 100% mandatory and is on our grade report card. I hated it and it shows on my grade. I probably would have learned it better today but back then as a teenager I think my bad grade reflected my lack of interest. My class almost all of us hated the time we spent in Nynorsk class.
Also it is not Norge as he says it no. That is the very American way of saying Norge. This guys pronunciation is horrible, he says Ro Dahl but it is Roald Dahl, the author and I would be shocked if you do not know anything written by him as some of his books have become movies. Examples are Matilda, The Withes, Charlie and the Chocolate factory..
"World War I
With the outbreak of war in 1914, Norway, like Sweden and Denmark, issued a declaration of neutrality. Norway was badly hurt by the war at sea, about half of Norwegian merchant shipping being lost."
I just have to clarify here, you must not listen to @jeschinstad who is spreading lies and misinformation. Norway removed all state- and religion-connections by constitution changes in 2012 and 2017. He's also confusing the paragraphs (he means to refer to §2. Not §4). I quote: "21. May of 2012, the constitution was modified to change the relation between state and church. After the change, the state no longer has an official religion, and the ecclesiastical minister has been disbanded/revoked/discontinued."
"Is the volcano active? Is it dangerous?" Lol

@patrickdeporte289

- It's a perfectly valid question...
If it's active, then there is potential danger.
If it's dormant, then there is less cause for concern.
If it's dead, then there is no cause for concern at all.
Although there are no guarantees...
What we once thought of as dead can, in time, turn out to become active again.
Like 'Yellowstone' f.ex...
Let's hope that we aren't still around when and/or if that time comes.

Need a part 3
I live in Trondheim in Norway. And driving to Finnmark is as far as to Rome...
I'm Norwegian, and not even I knew facts 43, 41, 39, 36, 35, 33, 32, 31, 27, 26, 25, 23, 21, 19, 18, 17, 16, 15, 13, 10, 9, 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1
Also, May 17, 2024, Norway has had its constitution for 210 years, and _not_ 200 years, because that was in 2014, which is 10 years ago
You know I keep on forgetting that we got an Volcano
Nynorsk and bokmål are both written languages of Norway, with over 15 different spoken dialects
Over 180 different dialects.
Dialects are difficult to count, because what can be counted as a dialect different from others. Basically the dialect are divided into four groups: Western, Eastern, Northern Norwegian and Trønder in the middle. But you can also say there are 5.5 million different dialects.
@Xirque666 @ysteinfjr7529 I couldn't be bothered double checking since I know there's a lot, just wanted to emphasize that there's many spoken dialects but that nynorsk and bokmål are the official written ones since he commented on that nynorsk was the spoken version, and called them different dialects.
He wrote kids book and did the film willy Wonka. Well its one of his books is he famous are you kidding me he's mayor famous around the world where have you been all i can say is as a child you either didnt read books or you read adult books but yes he is hugely famous. It is very beautiful
no you are correct. It's Norge more or less like you say it. but a shorter "e"
Norwegian police is not ordinarily armed. They have weapons with them in some instances but need special orders/cirumstances to unlock the gun box. After a couple of terrorist incidents police have been carrying guns as per special, time limited, orders.
There have been cases of police violence - at least one was fatal. Police enjoy a great deal of respect and trust in general.
The vulcano are on Jan Mayen. Its a irland in north. Its not active vulcan.
There are bad cops in Norway. But they are few and far between.
11000 bc. Thats 13000 years ago if I got my ad and bc correct.
Tyler, were you not taught about the First Amendment to the US consritution, which specifically states that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof"?
Or Article 6: "no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States. "
Your fist President, George Washington personally added the words "so help me God" the the Oath of Office: it does not appear in the text. God (let alone which god) is absent from your Constitution.
Your second Preident John Adams wrote in the Treaty of Tripoli in 1796 (ratified by a unanynous Congress) "Art. 11. As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion".
Your third President, Thomas Jefferson, publised a bible where he cut out ALL references to Jesus' miraclea and claims of divinity (In the Smithsonian from 1896), and who, on his gravestone listed the Virginia Law of Religious Freedom as one of his three accomplishments; and who used the phrase of "a wall of Separation between Church and State".
The recurring claim that the US is a Christian Nation is a lie.
You should know this.
The whale species that Norway hunts, i nowhere near endangered. And it is only one species that is hunted. All the others are regarded as too vulnerable.
Norge (bokmål) Noreg (nynorsk) pronunced as it's written - Nor-ge / Nor-eg
The name had Norse roots: Norvger : the way north
Bergen was Norway's capital in the past.

I hope you know you have a lot of volcanos in the USA 😉
The whale breed hunted by Icelandic and Norwegian whalers are threatening to overpopulate if not kept in check. Of course that's not the only reason, it is quite good meat, similar to moose with a tiny hint of fish and less chewy. The Japanese however have been caught hunting endangered whale several times, and often outside their economic zone to boot.
The last sentence got wrong during translation. The man died during in the police's hands during apprehension
make a video about Norway in WW2
Oslo have been name Tigerstaden also
Charlie and the chocolate factory - Roald Dahl!

Norge in Bokmål, Noreg in Nynorsk. You said it right, he said it wrong.
Tyler pronounce "Norge" right. Norway has two equal names. In bokmål : "Norge". In Nynorsk: Noreg. Both mean " way to the north". Civilized Norwegians prefer "Norge", while the primitive and ignorant Norwegians outside Oslo prefer "Noreg".
If you think Norway have a crazy history, wait until you learn about our kings.

Norway, Noreg, Norwegian, Norse.
Regarding state religions, you seemed unsure if the United States had a state religion (“Christianity?”) and I think it should be clear, especially in the current political and cultural climate, that the U.S. was founded upon the principal of the “separation of church and state”. In the First Amendment to the Constitution it states: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” The Constitution never references Christianity and the implicit concept was to make sure that no religion or religious group would ever hold explicit political power in the country.
Go to norway
How do you not know who Roald Dahl is?!
Norway fought many battles in WW2..
Tyler!! You pronounced Norway correct 🥰 It's Norge like you said......
The guy in the video said it wrong....
Nynorsk and Bokmål are not two different dialects :ref 9:10.
Nynorsk and Bokmål are two different languages, there are hundereds of dialects within those two languages.
This might be true for Sami too, but i'm not sure.
They are not two different languages. They are two different written forms of the Norwegian language. And within that language (not within bokmål and nynorsk) there are many different dialects.
It might be legal but its cruel tho well i think so
About the wales : it may be legal but it is NOT RIGHT
Me from Norway seeing the thumbnail: WE HAVE A VOLCANO!? (nvm oslo is on an old volcano)
It's on Jan Mayen.

You are more correct with the pronunciation of Norge.
The dude in the video is just reading the letters as if they were English letters, and not the Norwegian way.
Nynorsk is pronounced close to how americans would say "ny-no-shk".
King Harald learned to ride a bicycle in the White House during World War II
Um, Dumbo, the U.S. was neutral at the start of BOTH world wars.

@@BizzyX78 Read it now... wow🤦♂️ The weird thing is this guy has been hanging around the comments here since the channel started. Went by Silvia something at that time. Then seemed to have either been banned from YT or felt the need to change his username. He has stated several times that his motivation for the endless negative and crude comments is because he hates how the US is always "slandered" by other people😅 So he is seemingly on a self appointed "crusade" to "save" the US's reputation from the "oh so dastardly" YT comments, and Americans that question anything about the US. Kind of amusing how his "crusade" and obnoxious behaviour just reinforces the sterotype of the ignorant, flag touting Murican to everyone else🙄
Also another lie in this video, Norway DID NOT INVENT SKIING, but they did as a modern sport! Cross country skiing was practiced by the Proto Finns who migrated from Siberia Asia to Scandinavia during the Last Ice Age. Norway stole the style of skii bondings and the skii pole from the indigenous Sámi, descendants of the Proto Finns who still retain ancient elements of their nomadic and previous way of life.

Norway is pronounced Noryay. In Norwegian.
