How I started testosterone (in Norway) | FTM, Norwegian with Eng sub
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 ก.ย. 2024
- Hia! I’ve gotten a lot of requests to make a TH-cam video where I speak Norwegian, and I’ve also gotten many on how I started testosterone. Since I started T in Norway, I thought it’d be simpler if I made this video in Norwegian, as I know a lot of these terms in my native language as I went through the process here. I hope you like it!
Also, when making the captions I didn’t always translate directly because as I was editing I found things I could’ve said instead. So if you’re watching this in Norwegian and what I’m saying is a tiny bit confusing, you can turn on the English captions and hopefully that helps, I think I maybe clarified things a little bit more there.

you speaking norwegian is somehow just so nice to listen to
Your
Voice
Is
So
Deep
YVISD lol
Your voice is actually different from when you speak English. I can’t understand what exactly is different but it’s really nice to listen to you
I think it is like whn I (a swede) speak english, the tongue is shaped diffrently and you mouth is kind of shaped so you can have like a bubble over your tongue (not literally but because of the shape it feels like it, and the voice get a diffrent accent, atleast when you speak brittish
Not going to lie its really hot just listening you speaking Norwegian.
Elliot Vaughan yess😂🔥
Elliot Vaughan nO DO NOT SEXUALIZE LITTLE KOVU
I'm going to let you off the hook since u don't speak Norwegian but 17 💀💀💀
I actually felt like I could understand everything
Mainly cause I was reading the subtitles 😂😂💙
i LOVE this! please do more in norwegian! i don't know the language but i love the sound of the words and i'd like to learn it. you have a lovely voice too so that helps lol.
it's so weird to hear norwegian since i have studied swedish and they have some similar words
Annika k ikr i speak Danish and like, i almost understand what he’s saying, but not quite.
Kia’s Covers oii moro vaan :Dd
Yeah. As a swede It’s actually pretty easy to understand him.
Annika k TORILLE
alisa - exposed
It's so weird that you were speaking Norwegian and I understood almost everything. I'm icelandic and I speak Danish as well but it's so cool how easy it is to understand between the languages
Gabríel Grimm that’s so cool! I find Icelandic very hard to understand, I can only sometimes find similar words and roughly figure out what is being said, but danish is easier for me (naturally, as we were united with them for a long time so they influenced our language a lot) :P
@@Kovukingsrod We are required in school to learn Danish, but I would've much rather learnt Norwegian or Swedish if I had the choice. But we share a lot of words so it's not hard to learn.
I love hearing you speak in Norwegian Kovu!!! I would definitely watch more videos of you speaking it❤️
Your voice is deep!
O m g
Youre from norway?!
How did I miss this ;;;
Omg your pfp

Jeg er fra Norge, og snakker da *flytende* (ish) norsk. (Norsken ble litt føkka da jeg begynte å snakke engelsk hver dag.)
Da jeg først fant denne fantastiske personen som jeg da kjenner som Kovu, ble jeg helt betatt. Ser på videoene, elsker dem. Jeg bare liker denne personen, en veldig koselig kar. Når jeg gikk inn på kanalen og så på informasjonen som sto der da, så ble jeg *veeeeeeldig* overrasket over at dette er en norsk person. (De fleste jeg kjenner [98%] snakker engelsk som om at det var norsk [uttaler de engelske ordene som om de var norsk].)
Å høre denne personen, som jeg er så glad i, snakke norsk, varmer hjertet mitt. Jeg fant jo denne personen da jeg så etter videoer om «how to come out to [insert name/person here]». Dette var da veldig hjelpsomt og spennende, og jeg fikk jo en god latter av det, så det var jo bra.
By the way, Nicholas er ikke det «ekte» navnet mitt. Alle som «kjenner» meg, kjenner meg som Linde. Jepp. Linde. That's it. Linde. Et litt uvanlig navn og alle som møter meg for første gangen kaller meg jo da for Linda et par-tre ganger. Heeeelt normalt.
Nå, når du ser navnet «Linde» så tenker du vel at dette er et jentenavn. Det er faktisk både et jente- og guttenavn. (Men for de som kjenner meg er det et jentenavn. Det høres ikke «riktig» ut å si at Linde er et guttenavn.)
Såeeeh, nå når jeg har skrevet *waayyyy more* enn jeg hadde planlagt; takk for meg, og ha en god dag.
Nicholas C. Ååå hei! Ville vare si tusen tusen takk for snille ord ❤️❤️ det betyr ekstremt mye :D
same
Lol I have no idea what you said but some how i can relate
I'm english but I love the norwegian language
Wait wha!!?!!??!?! Your English is really good though. You made me feel confident that I might also speak as good as you one day! Keep up the good work man! Many wishes from Sweden!🇸🇪
I’m from Sweden so i can actually understand almost What you say heheh i din’t know that you Where from norway!
Omg new video im so excited jesus i love when you speak Norwegian so much even tho i cant understand it i can listen to it all day...i love you so much kovu you have changed my life
Aye I always wanted a video in norwegian ☺️❤️
I‘m from Germany btw
samee
Dude. More videos in Norwegian, please! Your mother tongue is so beautiful! 💜
the1bun thank you!😄💕It’s just a pain in the arse to write captions - I got lazy at the very end after I had already said goodbye 😆
Haha I was actually thinking how much of a pain it must be to add in translated subtitles. Timing, typos, terminology that doesn't quite translate entirely from one language to the other...(I've had to do subtitles for videos. No translations, though.) Not to worry! I've got the solution: We'll all simply have to learn Norwegian! 😆
Thank you for replying, and especially for your great videos. Keep being yourself. 😄
Also, I nearly squealed when I saw your reply. It wouldn't come out, though! (Almost six months on T! About damn time my voice dropped! Haha)

I had no idea it was so difficult to get hormones in Norway. In Belgium we have one gender clinic at a hospital, really well managed and helpful people, although the waitlist is about half a year. Once you've started the sessions you need to go through a year (less if you're not a minor) of talking to a psychologist there, and then you can get hormones. I'm about halfway through that year now, but it's crazy to me how much trouble you have to go through in your country, compared to that it's actually been rather easy here. Super happy for you that you made it work and got your hormones :)
thunderdate thank you so much! Also I’m so happy and excited for you :D
Hey pal, I just a country next door (France) and I think i'll come to Belgium then XD I don't know where to start to get on T ;-;
U should take a look at muslim countries where some trans people are so oppressed and threatened everyday , let alone let them get treatment 💔 .. (i live in a muslim country and I'm a fellow trans guy)
KOVU THE KING 👑
Haha, Journey in norwegian sounds exactly like in german (Reise). How do you write it in norwegian?
Btw i love to listen to you speaking your mother tongue and yeah i dont know but I think your expression is also different. Like it :)
Lena Pirosa we spell it exactly the same way, reise! :D Norwegian is a (north) Germanic language so that is probably why 😄 also that’s really cool!
Funny how i understand in almost every scentences some words when I am reading the subtitles but have no clue if i'm reading it :D
Although i know that some european languages sound quite alike (i can unterstand dutch although i never learned it). Didn't know norwegian was so much like german, cool! :)

Same. Ich wohn zwar gerade in den Usa, aber bin aus Deutachland.
Krass das man Wörter verstehen kann😅
KOVUUU aww jeg smilte gjennom hele videoen!! så fint å høre norske stemmen din!
Ronja-Mari ååå du er vel søt! Tusen takk💖
Interesting video idea Kovu it's cool to here you're voice in you're native language
Du låter mer vuxen när du pratar norska på något sätt, ta det som en komplimang hahah det är fint😊
Olivia Lind det er faktisk litt kult! :D
OMG this is such an incredible video. I love it when you speak Norwegian. Btw I'm from Gemany and some words and sentences are very similar. PS: I love your channel and you are amazing
I'm so happy that you've gotten this far in your transitioning😙!
Lots of hugs and kisses from Finland🇫🇮🇫🇮
insert edgy username hugs and kisses back from your fellow Northern European brother! 😛💕
@@Kovukingsrod Oh my goodness! I had no idea you were gonna reply😂😂 thank you so much💙
TUSEN TUSEN TAKK FOR DENNE VIDEON 🙏🏼🙏🏼 Jeg har sett ekstremt mange videoer om det samme temaet men fra folk i andre land, og var alltid så usikker hvordan systemet er i Norge. Denne videoen hjelper meg mer enn du aner! 💜💜
Spørsmål: Hvilken privat klinikk gikk du til?
Kovu Kingsrod Må bare takke enda et par tusen ganger for synk hjelpsom info !! 🙏🏼💜
FALL OUT BOY POSTER IN THE BACKGROUND
Du er så sterk kovu! Er helt enig, Norge har gjort mye bra, men det er alltid plass til forbedringer. Lykke til videre på reisen din!
HAHAHA, I thought that you said: Husk att du e hetero in the end!!!
😂😂
Sterk og inspirerende historie
I love hearing you speak Norwegian so much you have no idea
Kovo, I love you very much and your videos comfort me in the worst of my times. In fact saved me from Suicide twice, listening to you speak in your native tongue is breathtaking and your voice the more and more you upload is forever inspirational. From a good friend Ashton, Ashywasy
I fell in love with the sound and rhythm of Norwegian through SKAM (like everyone else in the Anglo world I expect) and I must agree, it sounds so much more personal! I hope you do more videos in your native language :)
I loved this video so much and i loved hearing you speak Norwegian (ps I really like your jumper)
Its so nice to see that you finally got what you wanted . I remember before starting t you looked a bit down sometimes, but recently I’ve noticed that you are much more less dysphoric, and im so glad you do because you’re such a sweet boy and you deserve to be happy :)
Har aldri hørt deg snakke norsk, fyfaen du har fin dialekt! Kjempe fin video, visste nesten ingen ting om hormonbehandlinger i norge før denne. Tusen takk for at du lagde denne videoen!
Dette hjalp mye! Tusen takk.
In the process of learning Norwegian rn (I'm an American immigrant as of 2 months ago) and having the subtitles really helped so thank you!
Thanks for adding the english subtitles! It helps a lot :)
I really enjoyed this video, it was nice hearing you talk in your first language 😊
I’m so grateful for SKAM because of it I started learning Norwegian so I could pretty much understand everything haha. Also it’s just an amazing show
Your voice sounds so calming in Norwegian, not that I can understand it but it's soothing in a way.
Woah my brothers in Norway (oslo) for a gap year (folk school) I visited over the summer! Its absolutely beautiful!
You bring a smile to my face every time I watch you :)
its so weird but comforting hear you speaking in Norwegian
hello Kovu, im from sweden and im also FtM, i just wanted to tell you that your videos helps me and i really like your content, ceep up the good and amazing work!
Omg you voice in Norwegian is just 😍😍 jesus I am swooning rn
Aaaa I love this video! I am currently trying to learn Norwegian(my boyfriend lives in Norway) and this is somehow really helpfull!Also I can't believe how much you've changed since early 2017 aaa
BITCHHHHH I LOVE THISSSSSS

Sound
Amazing 😍😍😍😍😍
Yay, norsk video! Du er en stor inspirasjon, Kovu!
I spy fall out boy
Taylor Oei SRAR was my era 😎
Fall out boy e en av favorittene mine
Oh my god you’ve changed so much since last time i checked your channel!!! You look great!!!
Norwegian is so beautiful. I have family that lives in Norway, but their Norwegian isn't perfect yet. You are a delight to listen to, your voice is very pleasant (good job, testis)
I found myself don't reading the subtitles and only listen your Norwegian, even I don't know the language myself.
I love listen to people in their native language ❤️ and you have a really cute voice.
Wow... It's been a while since I saw one of your videos, and i can say that your voice (and you in general) has changed a lot! I'm so happy for you, greetings from far away boy💕
im so very proud of you and i love that you spoke norwegian in this video (sweet!)
(also your voice is hecking deep im amazed )
I enjoyed this video so much, please make more like them. Love you Kovu! 😁😘
Ooh interesting video. My family is from Norway but i don't speak the language, and this is making me really want to learn it.
Thanks for the video Kovu :)
I can understand so many words, that's so cool! I'm from Germany btw but I want to learn Norwegian or Swedish 😂
Thanks for the video I'd love to see more videos in Norwegian
Omg! I didn't even know you were Norwegian! I myself is Swedish and I understands everything you're saying in the video. It feels so close to home, I love it. Great video Kovu!
Same!
You're the reason I've set out to learn Norwegian, it's been over half a year since I started trying to learn. Anyways, it's always a pleasure to hear your story, all these things that make you up. Hope to hear more in the future!
*Petition for Kovu to do a Norwegian ASMR*
Hey I’m a new subscriber and I just wanted to say that so far you’ve made my and when ever I watch your videos you’ve all so made me except who I am and I can not thank you enough.
Kovu you are great and I love listening to you Speak in your mother tongue and I even might start learning Norwegian because it sounds fun and it’s always fun to learn a new language
I really liked when you spoke norweigan, it gives a nice connection since I speak Swedish.😂
This is actually the first of your videos I'm watching and I love Norwegian! It just sounds so cute, sen så är jag svensk också så jag förstår det mesta (yes I just mixed languages in the same sentence). ¡Más noruego! (Couldn't help myself, might as well go all in with a third language lol)
holy shit i'm watching kovu for the first time since like,, maybe a year or more?? anyways, ahppy you uploaded!
Kul video kovu. Elsker kanalen din. Første gang jeg har vært first
I love hearing you speak Norwegian haha. I lowkey started learning it on Duolingo after watching skam and following you of course. I only know a little bit, like simple stuff but still. I’d love if you made more videos speaking Norwegian
It's so cute when you speak norweigan i love it! You should do another norweigan lesson video :)
It's really cool to hear you speaking Norwegian. You speak English exceptionally well but yeah idk it's just nice to hear people speaking their native language. I think it's often overlooked that not everyone speaks English as a first, second, or third language (or even at all), so it's good to embrace that and listen to the other awesome languages that exist
I TOOK A COUPLE NORWEGIAN LESSONS AND I FREAK OUT WHEN I CAN TELL WHAT HE'S SAYING, IT'S WORTH IT
Awe. Wow your native tongue (Norwegian) is cute. A friend of mine is from Norway... I love hearing it. I can read it but can't speak it very well. LOVE YOUR VIDEOES! and you. Xxx love your shirt too! ❤❤❤
This is now an anime.
All jokes aside I love your voice and Norwegian suits you
uwu your voice in Norwegian is so great your parents are good people thooooough ;-; please speak more in Norwegian for your next videos, we really appreciate it! (or at least i do xD)
Also pls do more in Norwegian your voice is so soothing
Aww I loved you speaking Norwegian!
Wow your language is beautiful!
I’m Finnish so I hope many of the steps are the same here ;; also i love listening to you talking in norwegian askddkf
Thankful for the subtitles 😂💚
Keep at it, brothers.... You've got your successful life 😊👌🏻
As a Spaniard, Norwegian sounds like a hell language.
And I'm so proud you could start soon on T. I wish you are happy, I luv u.
Oh my gosh I love your language!! I had never heard it spoken for that long or that naturally before and it was awesome :)) also as always thanks for being so sweet and genuine 😊😊
hearing you speak norweigan really just made my shitty week less shitty thank you bro
OMG kovu speaking norwegian is sooo perfect!!!
heey i just discovered your channel and i really like it, anyway it's really nice listening to you talking in norvegian, if i hadnt seen that video i would never have imagined that you weren't a native english speaker, your english, most importantly your accent is really amazing, and waouh i cant imagine what you've been through but that seemed hard, idk what it's like in France, and finally what i wanted to comment for when i started writing: i read that when you speak several languages, there can be little personality changes, so that's probably not just a feeling, goodnight !
Wow, dette var annerledes, jeg Liker det da. (Foretrekker engelsk da) Elsker alt du gjør
To be honest I like it if you speak norwegian. I even understand a very few words cause I speak german and some words sound familiar (yeah I'm proud of me). And for the rest I can read the subtitles. Great, now I want to learn norwegian.
I'll watch your further videos, no matter what language they are (as long as they are subbed hahah). Yes, I would appreciate norwegian videos if you want to do some more.
YAY our favorite manly man uploaded!
OMGGGGGGG
I DIDNT SEE THIS!! LOVE U KOVU!!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤
I am just so proud of you. You are really a unique personality. Thanks for all videos on TH-cam so far. Take a big and huge virtual hug. Love you!
Jake Marvel thank you so so much! Huge virtual hug back!
I love how personal and intimate this is
Det er veldig kult å høre deg snakke norsk! Du burde gjøre det oftere haha
Hei Kovu! Thanks for opening up about your current journey in Norway, it's very interesting and enlightening to see how the process is handled there. I'm planning on moving to Norway possibly 2020 since my partner lives there so any way that can help me learn the language is goodo! Haha also would like to add that your jumper is fantastic! Hoping to thrift shop some more when I'm there soon for the winter
I’ve been trying to learn norwegian since the beginning of the year and it’s so weird to actually recognize a fee words and then get completely lost 😂 Please make more videos in norwegian if that makes you feel more comfortable Ha det! (Literally the only words I can remember right now that are probably wrong whoops)
I can really relate to your problem with having difficulties speaking about LGBTQ+ issues in your native language! The first few months after discovering my sexuality I didn't even know how to pronounce it in Swedish.
Anyway, it was nice hearing you speak Norwegian - you do act a bit differently, which is cool. You speak very clearly too!
Dude you have such a deep smooth voice in norwegian
Sauron 30511 thank you so much! :)
