Ari Eldjárn með Norðurlandauppistand

[@ThSkBj]

No no. The Icelanders got the whole "Learn danish so that you can speak to all the scandis" thing just right. Cause Ari speaking "danish" just sounds like a mix between norwegian and swedish anyways, so mission accomplished.

[@amossutandi]

it actually sounds like finnish when he talks danish, the cadence and pronounciation of it all.

[@magentaMegi]

So this is the Iceland 🇮🇸 version

[@shayelea]

Icelanders hassling Danes about how they speak is a new genre of comedy to me, but I don’t think it will ever get old.

[@10mmPig]

This guy is brilliant.

[@magentaMegi]

Yeah😂😂😂

[@rommybarriga3590]

I am not even nordic but I enjoyed it. Greetings from Southamerica!!

[@zacharyp10]

I wish I spoke so I could watch more of his performances! Greetings from the usa. Actually trying to learn finnish here

[@vikingwoman2]

Zachary P that won’t help you understand Finnish though.

[@chriskayel]

You should be learning this amazing language. It's a first step towards understanding the beautiful culture of the Fins.

[@gracecrislip8317]

bro good luck. Finnish is hard, especially if you don't live here

[@magentaMegi]

Me too😂😂😂

[@magentaMegi]

​@chriskayel joo hyvä Suomi 🎉🎉🎉

[@aaronmeyer7946]

So Scandinavian it hurts.

[@MegaMasturbator]

Scandinavia only consists of Sweden, Norway and Denmark - you ought to say "So Nordic it hurts" :) Get it right next time or i'll fuck you up :)

[@RedEbSeb13]

That mosquito joke just kills me!

[@bklynsheep]

And what’s even funnier is that “Ei” means “no” in Finnish, so he’s really saying “No, mosquito!!”

[@pudseydawson2363]

Caught his show at the edinburgh fringe this weekend, very funny guy cant wait to catch more of him. Go see him if you get a chance to.

[@funny-video-YouTube-channel]

Almost 80% of people speak some English in the northern EU. We are hijacking the language away from the Brits :-)

[@frankenstein01]

hijacking? yes... lets go with that

[@funny-video-YouTube-channel]

We can probably introduce some new words into English along the way. Ikea is already pushing for that with their names for the products :-)

[@kylefisher1458]

from my perspective in Canada, Scandinavian hockey players speak impeccable english, you still notice the accent but you can 100% understand them

[@ArnaudFTW]

yeah you speak it badly. stfu and stop the circle jerk

[@frankenstein01]

poorly*

[@escuchomusica1104]

Det var så godt :-)

[@matttrafton2725]

Very funny guy. I wish he would tour the US. Woo many comics here get their jokes out of the sewer.

[@lt.branwulfram4794]

(bom, bom) HU! (repeat as many times as you can, filling up the gap between each stomp and shout slowly but gradually)

[@BR-jt6ny]

Gat ekki andað!!!

[@Kinquox]

Muy bueno, muy divertido e ilustrativo.

[@salt_cots]

Loved his joke about the sound of Finnish for I LOVE YOU minä rakastaan sinua (sp?)

[@drops2cents260]

Yep. I'm a German native speaker from Austria who dabbles in learning Finnish for about six years, but as far as I can tell, he absolutely nailed it. :-) (I'd even go as far to say that at least he got the dry Finnish humour part down pat.)

[@magentaMegi]

Pay the money by Wednesday lol it's Wednesday now😂😂😂

[@magentaMegi]

I know German from shopping in Austria​@@drops2cents260

[@RazorMoustache]

Apparently he is working on a comedy routine with Stefan Karl or Robbie Rotten!

[@ryanfergo]

I heard words that i've heard on Robbaz channel and it made me laugh

[@drops2cents260]

Anybody could give me a translation for "Framsognardanska"? I could infer that it is some kind of "Danish" from the "-danska" at the end (well, duh), but I'm at a complete loss with the rest. I sadly don't speak any Nordic language except about 3-5 words in Finnish (and probably might manage to sound _very_ remotely Finnish after a having consumed a significant enough amount of Russian antifreeze.)

[@gunnara1459]

Drops2cents it means "Advanced danish". :)

[@drops2cents260]

I.e. "not being understood by any other Nordic people on an advanced level"? :-) (Okay, that would also be true for the Finns.) DISCLAIMER: I have to admit that I don't speak from personal experience but only inferred that from this very performance of Ari Eldjárn. :-)

[@gunnara1459]

Yeah, it's just called that. We know how to read and write it. It's just hard to pronounce it since it's a fairly odd way of pronouncing the words. I guess it's similar to how the Finns learns swedish I guess...

[@drops2cents260]

+Gunnar A > I guess it's similar to how the Finns learns swedish I guess... Or Austrians and Germans English... (I'm Austrian, BTW, but I was lucky to learn how to also _speak_ it well.)

[@rognvalduringthorsson7727]

There used to be a political party in Iceland called "Framsóknarflokkurinn" ('fram-sókn' ≈ forward-seeking, 'flokkur'≈party), which is politically in the centre, but had its followers mainly in the rural areas dominated by farmers. I think the term 'Framsóknardanska´ has its origin as a derogatory word for the kind of Scandinavian muddle talked by politicians on official business who had had their schooling in the rural areas and which is basically grammatically correct Danish but nearly completely spoken with Icelandic pronounciation.

[@Serendip98]

Who would have guessed that there are humorists in Iceland ?

[@agnessveinsdottirmoller7606]

who would have guessed that there is a population in Iceland

[@agnessveinsdottirmoller7606]

Think before you speak!

[@matssss]

Finnish sounds like Estonian.

[@stanislauskusumobagus5266]

matssss they're from a similar language family.

[@drops2cents260]

+matssss > Finnish sounds like Estonian Yep, same language family called the Finno-Ugric languages (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finno-Ugric_languages), which for some strange reason also includes Hungarian (don't ask). :-)

[@chriskayel]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@gguuyy22]

Sounds like Hungarian to me

[@magentaMegi]

​@drops2no Hungarian isn't connected cents260
