I am a bit surprised the people here did not explain more how you hook up a few times and then a relationship can develop from there. To me that’s the only part of Norway i am uncomfortable with, only because i am extremely shy and i couldn’t give that to my partner unless i was 💯 comfortable with them and i have to know them very well first of all. I’m also just hesistant bc I come from two cultures where STD’s are feared and honestly, I would not like that 😂The bit about American media was funny. American dating in itself makes no sense.

Not mad about it, it’s just funny actually, makes me wonder why people always act so surprised when I tell them I’m single in Norway.
4:15 I really loved the dating perspective of this lady, it was really insightful and cute! Also, in my country men also tend to be shy and/or more reserved, but still there is a preference to meet people through friends much more than with dating apps. But it’s quite interesting to see that the online dating is a big thing in Norway, with less stigma around it apparently. Nice video ✨
Me tooo...interesting,but quite surprising about the dating online. And that's true what you said about the men's in your/our country ahahaha...we are a litlle bit shy,because we are definitely more reserved to,we know our value👌🏼 I think we are similar norwegian,we also have for sure,a soft-heart!!😊
I find whenever I met the Norse, they have the same tone of voice as my country Scotland! Just they speak a different language. Faeroes & Iceland as well
Robert-Paul McCluskey Norway and Scotland is really close and has a lot of history. Faroe Islands and Iceland speak languages that came from old Norwegian languages
Ahhh I loved this video! I always wondered about what "dating in Norway" looked like, I lived there eight months and never knew if I went on dates or just hanged out with some guys lol. It feels they're pretty chill with it. Also, I love Trondheim's dialect! But it was nice to hear the others too 😍
My name is Taha and I live in Morocco. I am looking for a Norwegian girl to get to know for the sake of marriage and not for fun if any girl is interested in it 🌺🙏
Fantastic resource! Wish this channel had been available when I was living in Norway in 2009, back then there were very few online, practical resources to help learn the language. Especially enjoyed the subtitles in Bokmål and Nynorsk and asking everyone which dialect they spoke at the end.
Very interesting! "How do people find dates?": TINDER!! "How do people find a bf/gf?": aaahm... well... through friends or meeting otherwise in a shared parth through live. Maybe also Tinder something, but more like through friends, family, school, university, work, etc.
Living here for almost 5 years now and I can say that the dating culture in Norway is a little bit different than the rest of the world. Just because you hooked up doesn't mean you are dating & dating starts backwards that is why dating apps are so popular. You start with physical intimacy first, afterwards, if you find out that you are both interested in same things then you can decide to go on a date/dinner/coffee and start to get to know each other. That is why it is not uncommon to see (most young people) have multiple partners in both genders. But this does not apply of course to everyone.
@@SimpleNorwegian No. I want to learn _The History_ . How Vikings raided over the world and picked up beautiful women's for them in medieval or before.

When i saw the dark skin brunette girl i think, "That girl really look like a brazilian mixed with someone european". It's amazing how brazilian can recognize each others, even we dont have a regular "face".
There are a lot of gentlemen on the dating sites , except of some " Mr. not so right " ( scammers ) . Girls might find it very difficult for them to pick whom would be best for them . So the simplest and easiest way might be to find someone socially in reality instead of picking all or no one ....😆
For a moment, I thought I had already watched this video but it turns out he asked various questions to the same people and made many videos out of that.
Such an efficient language, they say so much so quickly with few words and those words are quite short. You can transmit ideas much more quickly. The smartest people I've ever known have been Scandinavians or had ancestors from those parts of the world. for most of history those people didn't have time to mess around and be slothful because winter was always a looming threat closing in, the smart and efficient were favored. Neat.
The reason why i hate dating apps is because how a man gets attracted to women is completely different then how women gets attracted to men. Men simply needs women to look pretty for him to decide if he wants to sleep with her or not. So tinder works very well for women. But when it comes to women, they dont care about appearance as much as men, they care about a man's character more. Which is why dating apps dont work well for men. How are u going to display ur attractive characters traits through a freaking text? And u only get the opportunity to display ur character through text only if the women actually matches with u and actually has a conversation with u. And as mentioned, women dont get attracted to a man's physical trait. Most women rate 80% of men below average in appearance. So good luck getting matched with just ur pictures.
Women caring less about appearance than men is a ridiculous myth spread by pop culture. Your yourself said it. "Most women rate 80% of men below average appearance," ie women are much pickier than men and they ALSO look for other things other than looks. How do you go from this statistical fact to "women don't get attracted to men's physical traits"? Makes no sense. The reason dating apps don't work well for men is because... 80% of them are rated below average by women lol.
@@ihsahnakerfeldt9280 Bruh how do u go from me saying "Women dont care about appearance as much as men" to "women dont get attracted by a man's physical traits." I never said women *dont care,* i said that women dont care *as much* as men. I.e a man's physical trait has far less impact on deciding whether the woman wants to sleep with him than it has on men. 80% of men is rated below average, but if 80% is below average then that becomes the new average. Which means that the average man, is not very attractive to the average woman. But I am pretty certain that most men would rate the average woman as attractive.
My man definitely had to have other redeeming traits, other than being fun to see naked. But being fun to see naked was definitely part of the package I was looking for. I think the whole "women don't care about looks" is perpetuated by the women who marry primarily for financial security . I always made my own money, so I didn't have to sacrifice actually being with someone I wanted to f&^k just to gain some financial security.
I thought it was funny that one lady thought it was different than in America to meet someone in person. That's how a lot of people in America meet, even today when a lot of couples find each other online (I think it's about half, the other half is in person at work/school/church, meeting at events, and through friends)

What is "remote" to you? I would keep out from the tiniest valleys if you want to be close to a city, yet if you find the right village you may be lucky and find friends for life 😊 Generally Northern (and Western?) Norwegians are considered most open and straightforward, but it depends on what you like. And sadly Northern (and some Western) parts of Norway are more isolated, so it may be more complicated to travel to central places.
Being Mexican that visited Norway in 2017-18 I wished I’d known about tinder because I wondered how everyone met up, lots of places seemed far apart? But really tinder? Lol 😂 I thought it’s be some Scandinavian app instead

"Jeg har veldig lite peiling". Sounds like the German "Ich habe keine Peilung" or "etwas (nicht) peilen", which more or less means "I don't know what's happening right now". It originates from piloting ships into harbours. When the pilot had no landmarks to orientate himself, he had "keine Peilung", ie couldn't find the direction where he should go. Seems fitting since the Hanseatic League played a big part in Norway's history as well, and both languages (Norwegian and German) seem to have influenced each other to a great extend because of that. EDIT: 10:28 I find it interesting that she says "tyveårene" and not "tjueårene". So... that means I won't stick out as a weirdo if I say "tyv" instead of "tjue"? I just find it way easier to pronounce "tyv" than "tjue", heh.
Very interesting to hear where our «har ikke peiling» expression comes from! Tyve/tjue can be interchanged without any issues, but I’d say tjue is more common, although it has the downside of being potentially misunderstood as sju
@@SimpleNorwegian "although it has the downside of being potentially misunderstood as sju" Yes, that's my main concern. I still have a hard time pronouncing "sju" and "tjue" distinct from each other (right now I tend to put stress on the "e" to make it more clear), so I wondered if I should just say "tyv". Which also would have the added benefit of being able to say "en og tyve", just like I would in German, instead of "tjueen", lol.
@@constdomino71 My fiance is Norwegian and he says there is no negativity towards Poles that he's heard, that Norwegians see they they work hard and there aren't any problems with them (so not problem creating), so no idea about the bad work ethnic comment. If you're a Polish guy looking to get a girl/sex, then sadly when you go abroad Slavic guys (which I 100% disagree with as I am so grateful to Polish men and am very fond of them and defensive, ...so I dislike it, but it is what it is) are close to the bottom of the ladder.
@@helena_5456 I'm glad :) I am rather defensive against people who crap on Polish guys, especially if they're Polish women, it really annoys me :/ I was just commenting the sad reality of SMV of Slavic guys abroad, however, they're masculine and tough and very nice to women, so maybe foreign women are starting to appreciate those traits. Hope you enjoy your future trips in Poland :)
If Norwegians are anything like Germans (and there's a lot of reason to think they are), I'd say you need to have a reason to deal with them. Being roommates, work, friends of friends, concerts, parties etc. Don't hope that you're ever going to meet up with a stranger on the street and hit it off. This is simply not how people from these cultures operate. Northern European cultures in particular are very individualistic and reserved.
I would be very interested to know the percentage of singles 20-35 in European countries that hope to be married some day. How many young people really seek a committed relationship?
in some cities its dangerous to meet ppl online (at least my fam and friends consider it so) Usually ppl on apps meet for... x-rated things only its interesting ppl rely on that else where bc i would never.. but its a location thing i see.
Well dating in a norwegian Its kind of pretty weird 🙊.maybe I say this beacuse we are have different culture..but I notice it norwegian guy are very straight forward and typical norwegian are pretty quiet and shy ..but anyway I have norwegian boyfriend😉
It's not that it's a cultural thing. In Norway to show respect for people's personal space is VERY important. There are plenty of extroverted norwegian people.
I am almost in the same situation of the man that said he is 30 years without been in a relationship. I do not have "luck" regarding this matter. Maybe because I am not a very social person.

I am always curious trying to figure out what kind of store is behind the guy at 1:00 in this video. Is it a chain store? Like a convenience store or an upscale 7-eleven maybe?
Norwegian chain of convinience kiosks, specializing on the sale of magazines, and usually located near travel hubs like train stations, in malls, or in city centres.
Since I can accept being and probably remaining single I feel much better even if I would like to have a girlfriend. This aim lost its importance to me. In the last weeks or months there developed a fear of being in a relationship - not a really big one but a fear I recognize, 'cause I didn't experienced how it is to live with a partner and so I'm a bit of afraid of doing something wrong. But as I mentioned for me it's really OK now. Nevertheless it's an interesting theme so I've enjoyed that video. It's interesting to see how people in other countries are living, thinking and so on. I think it's a good way how one of the women told that it's good to do activities instead of dates where you're just talking. So you can avoid these gaps when you don't know what to tell next. Unfortunately I often had problems to read the subtitles 'cause they changed so fast. Perhaps I'm just too slow or maybe Norwegian is a more "fast spoken" language. Incidentally I watched "Vikings" which plays in Norway (but I'm waiting for the release of the second part of the 6th season on Netflix). :)
I prefer the old way of meeting people in person through chance or through friends, not through the internet, an app.

If you're not too shy, Scandinavian men are open to being approached and aren't so traditional when it comes to that, if that doesn't matter to you.
Turns out even us cold vikings need love ♥️ Next vid 🇬🇧 !
Cold weather warm blood:-)
The Vikings need too much love all that sacking lol

@coinínbán Actually, it’s a term of activity, not employment, but you’re right about it not being a term of racial identity.
Oh yeah!! everybody in the world needs it!!
4:15 I really loved the dating perspective of this lady, it was really insightful and cute!
Also, in my country men also tend to be shy and/or more reserved, but still there is a preference to meet people through friends much more than with dating apps. But it’s quite interesting to see that the online dating is a big thing in Norway, with less stigma around it apparently. Nice video ✨
Me tooo...interesting,but quite surprising about the dating online.
And that's true what you said about the men's in your/our country ahahaha...we are a litlle bit shy,because we are definitely more reserved to,we know our value👌🏼
I think we are similar norwegian,we also have for sure,a soft-heart!!😊
Which country are you from?

I find whenever I met the Norse, they have the same tone of voice as my country Scotland! Just they speak a different language. Faeroes & Iceland as well
Robert-Paul McCluskey Norway and Scotland is really close and has a lot of history. Faroe Islands and Iceland speak languages that came from old Norwegian languages
Ahhh I loved this video! I always wondered about what "dating in Norway" looked like, I lived there eight months and never knew if I went on dates or just hanged out with some guys lol. It feels they're pretty chill with it.
Also, I love Trondheim's dialect! But it was nice to hear the others too 😍
My name is Taha and I live in Morocco. I am looking for a Norwegian girl to get to know for the sake of marriage and not for fun if any girl is interested in it 🌺🙏
Are you single
Fantastic resource! Wish this channel had been available when I was living in Norway in 2009, back then there were very few online, practical resources to help learn the language. Especially enjoyed the subtitles in Bokmål and Nynorsk and asking everyone which dialect they spoke at the end.
Very interesting!
"How do people find dates?": TINDER!!
"How do people find a bf/gf?": aaahm... well... through friends or meeting otherwise in a shared parth through live. Maybe also Tinder something, but more like through friends, family, school, university, work, etc.
Living here for almost 5 years now and I can say that the dating culture in Norway is a little bit different than the rest of the world. Just because you hooked up doesn't mean you are dating & dating starts backwards that is why dating apps are so popular. You start with physical intimacy first, afterwards, if you find out that you are both interested in same things then you can decide to go on a date/dinner/coffee and start to get to know each other. That is why it is not uncommon to see (most young people) have multiple partners in both genders. But this does not apply of course to everyone.
Norway, very nice country. Fortunalety i have lucky enough to visit there one time. So, I high recommend it to you!
The right place at the right time, agreed with that girl
Why Norwegians are so cute?? I’ll never understand that lol.
Vikings took the most beautiful women when they raided villages
@@SimpleNorwegian Whoa! Explain it to me
@@kunalmahajan9489 I just did
@@SimpleNorwegian No. I want to learn _The History_ . How Vikings raided over the world and picked up beautiful women's for them in medieval or before.
yes.
That one dude is wearing a Steven Wilson shirt. Seems like an awesome dude.
Make more interviews in other topics related to social interaction
You'll probably like the video I have planned after the next one 😎
It sounds promising 😉

i asked a couple norwegian person "how do you date if you are that introvert?" all of the answers were "you dont" LOL
When i saw the dark skin brunette girl i think, "That girl really look like a brazilian mixed with someone european". It's amazing how brazilian can recognize each others, even we dont have a regular "face".
She is brazilian
@@lynaraoliveira6133 Yeah, I saw this!
I could say she is Latino or even Arab
I know, right? The way she speaks and her mannerisms also kinda show that, too.
I'm brazilian and i didn't though she was brazilian, but i though she was nicer than the other people :)
Such a great video, for learning but even for documenting what people feel in this modern age
There are a lot of gentlemen on the dating sites , except of some " Mr. not so right " ( scammers ) . Girls might find it very difficult for them to pick whom would be best for them . So the simplest and easiest way might be to find someone socially in reality instead of picking all or no one ....😆
Min verste første date var å gå på kino for å se filmen Midsommer. Hun var arret.
Tusen takk for the mazing vedios❤️❤️❤️
What about school and college why aren't they talking about them cuz Imo they're the most common ways of meeting and dating a person
Always the same people, did you record these in a day?
Thanks i really like your vids.
For a moment, I thought I had already watched this video but it turns out he asked various questions to the same people and made many videos out of that.
Been loving this series! Keep it up! Much love from Nigeria 🇳🇬❤️
The guy with red hair is sooo cute! ♥️
I'm laughing so much at the dude sitting with a hat 😂😂😂😂😂
He is CHAD
He is straight up vibin
He’s like the coolest man ever 😭😅🤩😎
can you do something regarding fashion like it is weird if people wear heels or things like that
I hope all of you are always healthy and all affairs are made easy and what you aspire to can be realized and always be given security
What I learned from this video is that I have to move to Trondheim and find this Brazilian girl.
Loved visiting Norway back in 2019. Would have come back this year if not for Covid. Hoping to visit in 2021
Such an efficient language, they say so much so quickly with few words and those words are quite short. You can transmit ideas much more quickly. The smartest people I've ever known have been Scandinavians or had ancestors from those parts of the world. for most of history those people didn't have time to mess around and be slothful because winter was always a looming threat closing in, the smart and efficient were favored. Neat.
The reason why i hate dating apps is because how a man gets attracted to women is completely different then how women gets attracted to men. Men simply needs women to look pretty for him to decide if he wants to sleep with her or not. So tinder works very well for women. But when it comes to women, they dont care about appearance as much as men, they care about a man's character more. Which is why dating apps dont work well for men. How are u going to display ur attractive characters traits through a freaking text? And u only get the opportunity to display ur character through text only if the women actually matches with u and actually has a conversation with u. And as mentioned, women dont get attracted to a man's physical trait. Most women rate 80% of men below average in appearance. So good luck getting matched with just ur pictures.
Yes, dating apps heavily favor visually attractive individuals
Women caring less about appearance than men is a ridiculous myth spread by pop culture. Your yourself said it. "Most women rate 80% of men below average appearance," ie women are much pickier than men and they ALSO look for other things other than looks. How do you go from this statistical fact to "women don't get attracted to men's physical traits"? Makes no sense. The reason dating apps don't work well for men is because... 80% of them are rated below average by women lol.
@@ihsahnakerfeldt9280 Bruh how do u go from me saying "Women dont care about appearance as much as men" to "women dont get attracted by a man's physical traits." I never said women *dont care,* i said that women dont care *as much* as men. I.e a man's physical trait has far less impact on deciding whether the woman wants to sleep with him than it has on men. 80% of men is rated below average, but if 80% is below average then that becomes the new average. Which means that the average man, is not very attractive to the average woman. But I am pretty certain that most men would rate the average woman as attractive.
My man definitely had to have other redeeming traits, other than being fun to see naked. But being fun to see naked was definitely part of the package I was looking for.
I think the whole "women don't care about looks" is perpetuated by the women who marry primarily for financial security . I always made my own money, so I didn't have to sacrifice actually being with someone I wanted to f&^k just to gain some financial security.
Now an old man but looking back I've always liked Scandinavian woman the most. I have great memories of camping in Norway in 92.
Hei, jeg lærer norsk fordi jeg liker kulturen og de ærlige menneskene i Norge. 🙂
Takk for sharing
When will you start to teach us Norwegian again? :(
🤷♂️
I’m posting some vocabulary and its pronunciation on instagram though
for me this videos are really useful
Listening to spontaneous speech of native speakers is one of the most important things to do while learning a new language
Jeg liker veldig mye de videoene, greetings from Argentina! Please, keep with it!
Voy a hacerlo 👌
Oh, muchas gracias 😄
I am curious to see you!! Please post something while you are talking ❤️😊
😭😭 This is sooo sad. Everyone is so socially awkward, NEVER say you have an “American” style of dating.
I thought it was funny that one lady thought it was different than in America to meet someone in person. That's how a lot of people in America meet, even today when a lot of couples find each other online (I think it's about half, the other half is in person at work/school/church, meeting at events, and through friends)
@@ZhovtoBlakytniy So true! In US everyone shoots their shot, both men and women 😂 online dating is so lame
Med denne videoen husker du meg om Nobita fra Japan. : P (Du kan finner han på youtube).

What’s a good place to live in Norway, away from a big city, but not too remote/desolate?
The only big city we have is Oslo
@@SimpleNorwegian what would you consider the perfect place to live in Norway?
What is "remote" to you? I would keep out from the tiniest valleys if you want to be close to a city, yet if you find the right village you may be lucky and find friends for life 😊 Generally Northern (and Western?) Norwegians are considered most open and straightforward, but it depends on what you like. And sadly Northern (and some Western) parts of Norway are more isolated, so it may be more complicated to travel to central places.
@@autumnday77b thank you
Being Mexican that visited Norway in 2017-18 I wished I’d known about tinder because I wondered how everyone met up, lots of places seemed far apart? But really tinder? Lol 😂 I thought it’s be some Scandinavian app instead
This language seems like it will be easy to learn for me it seems like the same format as english, no verb coming at the end
I understand more and more! 🤘🏻

"Jeg har veldig lite peiling". Sounds like the German "Ich habe keine Peilung" or "etwas (nicht) peilen", which more or less means "I don't know what's happening right now". It originates from piloting ships into harbours. When the pilot had no landmarks to orientate himself, he had "keine Peilung", ie couldn't find the direction where he should go.
Seems fitting since the Hanseatic League played a big part in Norway's history as well, and both languages (Norwegian and German) seem to have influenced each other to a great extend because of that.
EDIT: 10:28 I find it interesting that she says "tyveårene" and not "tjueårene". So... that means I won't stick out as a weirdo if I say "tyv" instead of "tjue"? I just find it way easier to pronounce "tyv" than "tjue", heh.
Very interesting to hear where our «har ikke peiling» expression comes from! Tyve/tjue can be interchanged without any issues, but I’d say tjue is more common, although it has the downside of being potentially misunderstood as sju
@@SimpleNorwegian "although it has the downside of being potentially misunderstood as sju"
Yes, that's my main concern. I still have a hard time pronouncing "sju" and "tjue" distinct from each other (right now I tend to put stress on the "e" to make it more clear), so I wondered if I should just say "tyv". Which also would have the added benefit of being able to say "en og tyve", just like I would in German, instead of "tjueen", lol.
@@wohlhabendermanager be careful with saying "tyve" like "tyv". "Tyve" =20, "Tyv"=prisoner. :)
It is especially funny watching this as someone who will move to Trondheim in January 2021
I love norway so much 😍😍
me too.
I love this series! I'm wondering, what do Norwegians think about Poles?
that almost every single polish woman has bad vision (glasses) and the men are drunks with bad work ethics. Not my personal opinion
@@gullfeber Thanks for your answer. No idea where the one about women comes from, but the one about men is unfortunetly quite accurate.
@@constdomino71 My fiance is Norwegian and he says there is no negativity towards Poles that he's heard, that Norwegians see they they work hard and there aren't any problems with them (so not problem creating), so no idea about the bad work ethnic comment. If you're a Polish guy looking to get a girl/sex, then sadly when you go abroad Slavic guys (which I 100% disagree with as I am so grateful to Polish men and am very fond of them and defensive, ...so I dislike it, but it is what it is) are close to the bottom of the ladder.
Well then, it's better than I thought, thanks for your asnwers! :D
@@helena_5456 I'm glad :) I am rather defensive against people who crap on Polish guys, especially if they're Polish women, it really annoys me :/ I was just commenting the sad reality of SMV of Slavic guys abroad, however, they're masculine and tough and very nice to women, so maybe foreign women are starting to appreciate those traits. Hope you enjoy your future trips in Poland :)
The Brazilian girl ohh my goood.... xD
5:42 this boy really likes to go to parties.
the guy at 6:38 are you wearing a steven Wilson t-shirt?
How to make FRIENDS in Norway?
That's what im wondering. That would be a good video
Impossible...trust me
@@KnusernFraUranus I never believe just like that
One day someone will find out!
If Norwegians are anything like Germans (and there's a lot of reason to think they are), I'd say you need to have a reason to deal with them. Being roommates, work, friends of friends, concerts, parties etc. Don't hope that you're ever going to meet up with a stranger on the street and hit it off. This is simply not how people from these cultures operate. Northern European cultures in particular are very individualistic and reserved.
I'll have you know that I am a The Sims expert and I strongly believe they are speaking Sims.
I would be very interested to know the percentage of singles 20-35 in European countries that hope to be married some day. How many young people really seek a committed relationship?
The shy guy with the headphones can also drop his phone number, we can talk about the datingkultur over a picnic in the park 😜
there are two of those, which one?
Are you talking about the guy at 1:07 ? If so, that is me hahaha
I'm snatching the blond guy with the glasses for myself before someone else does! 😂😍
@@byeebitch XD He's super cute!
@@byeebitch Get in line (it's a long one believe me)
I'd love to find a nice guy that loves to date a foreigner and we can say how we met in such a very surprising way but it's awesome😄
Tusen takk
There are more ads in this video than people who have been on dates in Norway.
Hottest girl as the thumbnail. Well done
in some cities its dangerous to meet ppl online (at least my fam and friends consider it so) Usually ppl on apps meet for... x-rated things only its interesting ppl rely on that else where bc i would never.. but its a location thing i see.
Well dating in a norwegian Its kind of pretty weird 🙊.maybe I say this beacuse we are have different culture..but I notice it norwegian guy are very straight forward and typical norwegian are pretty quiet and shy ..but anyway I have norwegian boyfriend😉
Hi my princess I'm from Africa
Between the upper and lower subtitles, which has the most common pronunciations in Norway?
Seems like Norwegians are more privatized, almost sort of on the introvert side.
It's not that it's a cultural thing. In Norway to show respect for people's personal space is VERY important. There are plenty of extroverted norwegian people.
I am almost in the same situation of the man that said he is 30 years without been in a relationship.
I do not have "luck" regarding this matter. Maybe because I am not a very social person.
Hello
me too.
Each of us is little bit" anti social" never give up....you only live once

Hi are you single
So you translating each interview and adding english and norwegian subs, of course I subscribe to your channel dear sir.
I am always curious trying to figure out what kind of store is behind the guy at 1:00 in this video. Is it a chain store? Like a convenience store or an upscale 7-eleven maybe?
It's a chain convenience store from Norway. Pretty much like 7-Eleven
Norwegian chain of convinience kiosks, specializing on the sale of magazines, and usually located near travel hubs like train stations, in malls, or in city centres.
Thanks so much I learn a lot form your video
I don't know how I should ever understand the spoken language. It feels like many are just not pronouncing many letters and are speaking so fast
Фраза "американские фильмы" на норвежском звучит тааааак по-русски 😂
Это правда 😁
Amerikanske filmer (Американске фильмер) 😊
Ахах) Даа. На долю секунды я почувствовал, что знаю норвежский :D
I like Norway,I'm from Cebu Philippines!
Takk for kanalen din
Since I can accept being and probably remaining single I feel much better even if I would like to have a girlfriend. This aim lost its importance to me. In the last weeks or months there developed a fear of being in a relationship - not a really big one but a fear I recognize, 'cause I didn't experienced how it is to live with a partner and so I'm a bit of afraid of doing something wrong. But as I mentioned for me it's really OK now. Nevertheless it's an interesting theme so I've enjoyed that video. It's interesting to see how people in other countries are living, thinking and so on. I think it's a good way how one of the women told that it's good to do activities instead of dates where you're just talking. So you can avoid these gaps when you don't know what to tell next. Unfortunately I often had problems to read the subtitles 'cause they changed so fast. Perhaps I'm just too slow or maybe Norwegian is a more "fast spoken" language. Incidentally I watched "Vikings" which plays in Norway (but I'm waiting for the release of the second part of the 6th season on Netflix). :)
Where are the axes and shieldmaidens?
Nice 👍 really great video really like your videos and chenal appreciated
