You have forgotten the extreme low crime rate, the social security systems, the high salaries, the high pensions, the helpfulness of the people, the equality of men and women in work and everyday life, the child-friendliness, the clean cities and towns, the feeling as a woman not to be picked up by strange guys on the street, the incredibly clean air, the beautiful wild nature, the state funding of art and culture, the high quality of Norwegian food (no industrial food), the top medical care for everyone, the lack of ghettos, the equal opportunities, the opportunity even at an older age to change your job, the high life expectancy. You are probably right, at the end of the day Russia or UK are definitely the better countries to live in🤣

[@ujmm]

@@SW-fk6jk What your thinking about is purchasing power, but no, it's not low. It's significantly higher than the European average, although a bit lower short term than you could expect in Sweden and Denmark, but not long term. It is significantly easier to buy a home in Norway compared to those countries. And you do also catch up a bit otherwise long term as the tax package covers significantly more. And considering that you are about to leave the country for traveling or moving out of it, You only need to be able to save 5% of your Norwegian salary for that amount to be at least as high as 8% would be in the overwhelming majority of other Euro countries.

I live in Norway for the last 4 years, and it is a wonderful and extremely peaceful country. People are very friendly and nice. I really enjoy living here. It is partially true about parties, but it really depends on where you live. There are a lot of Asian and African shops that sell a variety of ingredients for making food, so food is not at all a problem here if you know how to cook. Weather-wise, yes, it is a bit challenging, but public transport is so developed you will not be in trouble, at least within a city. And the most beautiful thing is that it is a superb country enriched with exceptional natural beauty.

If you already master English it is not hard to learn Norwegian. As the vikings settled on the British Isles and even had parts of the isles as their kingdoms, Norwegian and british languages are very similar. A few nouns that are similar because they once was the same word in both languages: A boat - en båt, a bush - en busk, a cake - ei kake, a cat - en katt, a cow - ei ku, a day - en dag, a door - ei dør, a fish - en fisk, a glass - et glass, a goat - ei geit, a hammer - en hammer, a horse - en hest, a house - et hus, a morning - en morgen, a night - en natt, a plant - en plante, a sea - en sjø, a stone - en stein, a tree - et tre, a window - et vindu, a worm - en orm, grass - gress, paper - papir, water - vatn.

[@munchyman3]

Husband - husbond, hound - hund, stool - stol, angry - anger, are - er, berserk , cast - kaste, die - dø, loan - lån, loose - løs, to race - å rase(av gårde), scarf - skjerf, skin - skinn, slaughter - slakter, weak - veik.

Hey Anna! Im a Norwegian, I live in Stavanger, and study journalism. I have some comments for you😊 1. We have one language, Norsk. But we have two written languages; Nynorsk and Bokmål. The country is very long, and if you turn it around, you’ll get to Italy. There are registrered almost 17.000 Sami people, far up in the north. Thats our indigenous people. Most of Norway speaks Norwegian (Norsk), and writes bokmål. In school we learn a little nynorsk. I will also comment on what you said about how difficult the language is. Its actually pretty easy, compared to other languages. Norwegian has 500.000 words registrerd. The English language has over one million words!!! Also the Norwegian grammar is way easier the Spanish ex. 2. We’re soon in November, and its winter. In Stavanger today it was +10C˚. The winters in south is mainly wind and rain. In the north its snow ofcourse, but you have to travel, ex to a mountain, to get to snow….Its many years since it was snow on christmas here😢 Also, in the wintertime its not many hours daylight. If you go very far north, there is no daylight at all for a coupple of months. Here, in the south its like five ours daylight at the worst. And it is the opposit in the summer. Daylight all day and night, and the famous midtnight sun. There are people who gets winterdepressions, but people mainly adapt. The communities runs and people goes to work and school all year round. By the way, the winters in Minnesota is so much harder than most of Norway. They get temperatures down to -30˚, and thats not usuall in Norway. You have to go very far north. 4. Its not correct what you said about people spent their time outside. Some does, some dont. Some sometimes, and some never. Its not like we’re known for being outside. Also, it depends on the weather. 5. Its true you have to adapt to Norway if you move here, like any other countries. Everyone has to work hard, but there are many people who take advatage of the Norwegian wellfare system…. Also, Norwegians are a bit «cold», and they kinda «dont like strangers». If you go to the busstop, and there is one other person there, and you say you say hi, the person might think your crazy! Offcourse, many people are nice and outgoing, but its a bries of this tendency. Its not like in southern european countries, where people much more often sais hi to eachother. 7. Its true that Norway is not a big club country. Offcourse there is a nightlife, with nightclubs, pubs, restaurantes and bars. And most people goes home around 12-1am. Like you said, people here drink less, its not like in Denmark where its socially aceptable to have a beer for lunch. If someone sees you with your child, drinking beer in a not suitable moment, people would even call child protecting service! Many Norwegians gets their everything out, when they go out on fridays or saturdays night. Then the social rules are totally forgotten. The universities partys a hole week in the beginning of semesterstart. There are universities in many of the cities around the country, and its known for good social enviroments and good arrangements. When you finish highschool, you become Russ. Thats a month with partying, and you have to do different things, like shug a beer, on time. You get knots on your hat for each thing you do. Its not true what you said about people hiking in the weekends, and thats how we party. Some does, some do again….But its not like we’re known from that. And WHEN people are hiking, they usually walk and talk with the people they came with. Reamember, Norwegians are «afraid» of strangers. Maby people say hi, many times not. Its not like we party that way… You should talk to more Norwegians, and get more sources, so you get it right😊 If you made this video 15-20 years ago, it would have been a must to include the old saying that Norwegians are born with skies on their feet. So Im happy you didnt say that. Cause as I said, most people have to travel to get to the snow😊 It used to be more snow before. Hope this was helpfull, Good vibes

[@Psyadin2]

"The winters in south is mainly wind and rain" "By the way, the winters in Minnesota is so much harder than most of Norway" You are comparing inland climate to coastal, and it's the west, not the south that is just wind and rain, the further east you go the more inland climate you get, which means colder winters and hotter summers as an example Lillehammer hosted winter Olympics and is only a couple of hours north of Oslo.

[@Haakonisak]

As a Sami I have to nitpick, and maybe broaden your horizon a bit :) Sami is an official language in Norway, and it is written as well. To be specific we have four Sami languages, northern-, ume, lule- and southern sami which all is both written and spoken. There is only two official languages though, Norwegian(both included) and Sami(all four included). Kven is also a spoken and written native language, but it aint official. Sami is spoken in Norway, Sweden, Finland AND Russia where about 600 people speaks the Kildni Sami language from the Norwegian/Finnish border to the tip of the Kola peninsula.

Number 2 is a pretty clear error: Bokmål and Nynorsk are not different languages. They are just different methods to write Norwegian, and both a Nynorsk (new-Norwegian) understand Bokmål (Book-speech) and vice versa. Also Sami is a minority here, a native group very similar to a lot of other, nomadic, native peoples in both Northern- Sweden, -Finland and -Russia, that used to and still to many, are totally reliant on their flocks of Reindeer. Here in Norway any Sami will understand Norwegian bokmål and nynorsk (not vice versa). So my point is that there's only 1 language to learn, and also if you learn this one language, you will understand and be understood in both Denmark, Sweden, Finland and Greenland. Also you'll better understand the etymology behind a lot of related, Germanic languages, such as German, Dutch and English. The language in Iceland (more Norwegian as it used to be, then the more Danish version of modern Norwegian, specially Bokmål) and the Western Isles will also make a whole lot more sense by learning Norwegian.

I grew up in the largest Norwegian immigrant community in the US. When I was born, sermons were still in Norwegian at the many Lutheran churches around the area. My grandparents were from Norway and I'm amazed by how "Norwegian" I am even though I have never been there. My idea of a good time is a 2-hour mountain hike.. I don't party otherwise. My favorite cheese is gjetost and I've been known to eat kippered herring for breakfast. I mainline coffee and bake Norwegian treats. I have the arctic gene, so cold weather does not bother me unless temperatures drop below -20.F. To me, winter is the season of FUN! I grew up skating and sledding all winter, then took up cross country skiing, also played lots of hockey. (The Norway, Illinois region has no downhill skiing). Norway sounds like heaven to me.

If you are introvert. Then Norway is perfect for you. Norwegian are extremly shy too be talking too each other and there are nothing more we hate then disturb a stranger unless there are very necussary. We would not be sitting next too "you" unless there ain't any chairs available for example in the train people would rather be standing then sitting next too another person. But on the other hand if someone are asking too get some help 99% of the times you would get some help or they would try too help you out. Alot of Norwegian can understand english very well and could be talking too you. But alot of people would be shy too have long conversation.

Also realized what kind of people norwegians are and I really think I was born in a wrong country. And don't get me started how much I love hiking and exercise. I heard I can be quite hard for foreigners to make friends there but I hope not imposible. I would love to visit and the first opportunity I get, I will.

I've been to Norway twice. When I visited during the peak season in August, the weather was nice and the scenery was nice. It was my first time experiencing a white night phenomenon, but it was an amazing experience. When I visited in the winter of December, the night was long and it rained a lot like in Northern Europe. Compared to Korea, Norway, the Frozen, was rather warm. The difference from Korea is that the working time is short and there is a lot of leisure time. Korea is one-tenth of Norway's area and has a population 10 times larger than that of Norway, so it is convenient because the infrastructure is concentrated. Norway had a lot of ease. Convenience is in Korea, but Norway is a place where you can relax and have a lot of time to sleep. All the Norwegian I met were kind. Although I can't speak Norwegian, I was able to communicate in English and I am a friendly country.

My family... I would miss pretty much just my grandparents, my parents I would definitely bring with me. 10 - I keep my everyday problems I keep to myself, they are mine anyways. And also a life at norway seems like there would give me almost 0 problems, so +100 points. 11 - Yeah... I can't do much about that one... But I could make my way.

I have a couple reasons to move to Norway. One being it is such a beautiful and positive country! Another being it is so clean and the people care about the environment and animals! Those are just two of my reasons. My counter reasons for the 11 reasons not to move there: 1: Languages are fun to learn - why not learn all of them? 2: I love cold weather! -20degC is no problem for me because I survived -25degC in Holland and still loved it. Here in South Africa we are getting around 34degC spikes in winter. In Taiwan I experienced 42degC in the shade and still survived it. So -20degC and +30degC is ideal for me!:) Also, it will be good for my low blood pressure^^ 3: We also have some of the most bizarre and sudden weather changes here in South Africa. Besides... I like surprises:) 4: I'd love to practice my martial arts in a local park or do some Tai Chi (if there aren't strange laws that don't allow this). Or I can sit somewhere with the countless beautiful views and scenery and enjoy a good book. I'm still not deterred from going there forever :) 5: Working hard is good for you. It builds good character and good reputation. As for Norwegian, I LOVE IT! I started a fb page a while ago to show my learning and am going to be posting my progress there soon! (Some language study materials are not easy to come by here in my part of the country where I am living - Boooooooo!). I am learning Bokmal at the moment but want to pick up the rest when I have found study materials for them. (I cannot learn with someone via live video at the moment because my internet connection where I am staying is very weak. Until I move somewhere better soon). I am also studying other languages aswell. 6: I like trying foods from other countries. It is so wonderful to learn new ways of cooking! If the food in Norway was bad, how come there are so many healthy and happy people? ;) 7: I don't party anyway or drink any alcohol. I have better things to do with my time and energy. So this is an easy one for me to not worry about:) 8: Yes, I agree. Smoking is bad for your health and cigarettes really smell bad. Another easy one not to worry about. 9: I could always visit them or send them a plane ticket so that they can also see Beautiful Norway!:) Another problem that doesn't matter:) 10: Complaining wastes energy and positivity. 11: So what? I can always try anyway:) It only took me one WEEK to adjust to life in Taiwan, so I adjust easily to a new place:) Even if I have an accent, it won't stop me from atleast learning the languages and doing my best!:) Being yourself is the best advice people could get!:) Well said!!:D

What many people that complain about “closed Sundays” don’t understand is that it’s about family life, it’s not only Norway that closes on Sunday, many European countries do, for example Germany, Netherlands, Austria, Switzerland etc. it’s to protect workers, to make sure AS MANY AS POSSIBLE can be able to spend one day a week where the family can be together. Of course countries like UK and USA don’t care at all about that and because of this Sunday is treated like an almost normal day. It’s no problem at all that shops are closed on Sundays, you just adapt to it and it’s no problems.

Note for your point number 7: From my perspective, Norway is indeed a party culture and a drinking culture. Atleast for the youth. I've grown up in Norway and ever since I was like 15-16 years old untill now at 25, most people my age has been addicted to partying. Indeed, the people dread monday-friday and always long for the weekends when they can go party 'till way past midnight, getting wasted and forget their shitty lives. Monday is the most hated day of the week whilst friday or saturday is a fan favourite by far depending who you ask. True, the nightlife doesn't last too long. The clubs close at between 2 am and 4 am. But there are so many house parties and hidden parties happening around elsewhere, even if you are not russ, even if you are not a student. It's such a heavy drinking/party culture that if you try to get people to do anything together in the sparetime and it does not involve drinks/parties, then you are likely not gonna succeed. It's actually really frustrating for someone who has quit drinking and partying.

I was reacting to that also. I'm also norwegian. Born and raised in a small village, two hours from Ålesund, that is quite a small city. Through out I've lived my life both in the city and in the village. And Yes. I can relate to Norway having a heavy drinking culture ever since the viking age. I myself started to drink at between the age of twelve and thirteen, as did my father and my grandfather also. In the villages atleast in west norway, that was normal both when i grew up and when my grandfather did in the 1920's. Not far from every weekend. On the local pubs or home parties. If we go out, we usually always first meet up at a friends place to drink 2-3 hours before we go out. We call that "vorspiel" from german, or just "fors". And then after the bar and pubs close at 02:30 or 03:00. It's equally normal to go to a "nachspiel" from german. That is like a afterparty at the home of someone hosting, often someone from the pub inviting the rest to their home after the bar closes. I would think that Fors and nach is common all over norway, quite frankly.

[@TullaRask]

@@SuperSkandale No it's called writing standards because a written language is not what people speak, anywhere in the world. It's been said that our writing standards are closer to our speach though, probably because of our long debate about it. No one speaks either Nynorsk or Bokmål, they are just for writing.

You're mostly spot on. But I will just ask you if you really think it makes sense to compare party culture in the "rural" areas of Norway with Rome and London? It doesn't strike me as an apples vs apples comparison. ;-)

[@lillm6874]

She’s so wrong about the partying, is it something norwegians can it’s partying 🥳 When I was younger, I used to party all night. And the day after I had to eat fast food, my boyfriend and friends too. Not hiking in the nature😅 Of course we love being in the nature too, camping in the mountains and fish in small lakes 👍

I'm not planning to move to Norway (I have to learn the language and have a strong grasp before I'd even consider it), but you haven't dissuaded me. Norway has always sounded like a wonderful place, and the social atmosphere feels a lot more like my kind of place, even if I'll have to unlearn some bad American habits.

After all of that, I have to say, I still really want to move to Norway. I know it's not an easy thing to do, I know that 22 years ago when I first considered doing so. I know the language is difficult and getting trained in reading, writing, and speaking Norwegian is a real challenge. I know my obnoxiously obvious American accent will never be gotten rid of (short of taking extensive, one-on-one, Norwegian accent training) will not rid me of that. At least, having access to professional Hollywood language training might - might - help me with that. Cold, freezing, wet, and snowy winter weather is no problem for me. I spent 9-years living in Milwaukee, WI and we had plenty of that. Bring it on.

I've wanted to move here most of my life and have spent 4 years learning bokmål! Personally knowing such an uncommon language is something I love! Maybe its not gonna be super useful till I move but where I live most multilingual people speak Spanish french or German, so when I (rarely, only 2x) run into someone I can frantically speak Norwegian to its exciting haha. Plus with my friend from oslo, we can say shit with people and no one knows what we're saying, unlike when people here speak Spanish and a good 5 people in the room are like "they think i can't understand them 🙄" also- the pronunciation was actually really fun to learn! If not a bit frustrating with "ø" haha. Honestly the language is a major pro for me, I've tried to learn other languages and none have captivated me the same way! I take too much pride in speaking a language only 5-6 million! Also the weather is a big yes for me! I have a medical heat intolerance and 50° F makes me feel faint. Anything over 75° F makes me physically faint, like drop to the ground 😅 actually a major reason I want to move again!

Just a small correction: There is basically only one version of Norwegian you have to learn, which is standard "Bokmål". The other "Nynorsk" (new Norwegian) is completely optional and Sami isn't really something anyone else than the indigenous Sami-people learn. The general structure of the Norwegian language is often 1 to 1 with English, so it isn't that hard to learn, we do not have too many special letters either, so the language is one of the easier one on the scale of languages.

[@charrle5208]

It is a requirement that everyone in school learns both Nynorsk and Bokmål
