[@ujmm]

If the worst thing for you about Norway is stealing some words from French, then you're extremely lucky. You definitely choose a country that fits you well.

We eat lunch at 11 because we eat breakfast at 06 / 07. Edit: IF you eat lunch at 11, you probably had breakfast at 06 / 07

[@VisitNorway]

wel... some of us, not all of us (there are night persons among Norwegians as well:)

[@frodejuulseth9360]

Subbed and liked.😀Loved it.😀 Norwegian here.😀

[@VisitNorway]

tusen takk:)

[@kunilsen2519]

I really appreciate that I can eat lunch half an hour before midday here in Norway lol Of course, I would and have survived waiting until 12 o'clock or more, but after 4-6 hours of active work I usually start getting pretty hungry😅

Brown cheese, from Gudbrandsdalen! Same-töfler, which I haven't been able to buy for years, as I no longer drives over Jotunheimen at intervals, so my last pairs I had to buy in - Oslo (Osol?) during a visit, and from Sweden - my latest pairs for my wife and I, for an absurd price!! Finn. Denmark

[@robinchwan]

i mean if you don't have a word for it then you adopt the word and make it sound more norwegian and easier to say, not that it's meant to butcher the language where it comes from.

[@VisitNorway]

:) and it is also quite a compliment to the language when you choose to adopt a word from it.)

[@UltimaSRi]

Nice vid!!🎉

Going up at the end of the sentences is something "only" 50% of the population does. Northern Norway + a lot of areas within the south and west Norway do not go up in the end.

[@VisitNorway]

understanding that type of differences requires some more time living in Norway than the guys we asked have:)

[@DerekNordicTan]

I Hope Norway and Norwegians will be more extrovert towards being more friendly not only in hiking but anywhere else in Norway, and High Prices becomes Low prices. As well as being more open and cool to others and many more positive things for foreigners who wants to move and live in Norway, which My Family and I are included. 🇳🇴♥️💯

[@yutanarkavich]

let me give you a secret, they don't want foreigners and they are too shy to say it

[@VisitNorway]

well well, we are friendly, just in a different way, not superficial friendly :)

[@DerekNordicTan]

@@VisitNorway yeah, ♥️🇳🇴💯 one of the most diverseed european country. Can you make a video on Sommaroy or Lofoten Islands vlog. Takk 🙂

[@kunilsen2519]

I personally would not like that😅(Be more extroverted) I like having my space and feel responsible for making sure I am giving everyone around me space as well. Same with friends, I love my friends with all my heart and spend a lot of my life with them. I don't feel the need for more than I have. I won't shut any new people out of course, but it takes time for me to feel close to people so it's a lot of work. But I do understand how hard it must be for those who want more or new friends. And lastly, in my experience, Norwegians are really friendly. It's just that our culture is not very outgoing. As an introverted Norwegian, I would not have survived in a more outgoing culture lol Neither is better or worse, both have good and bad, and some people adapt better or struggle more depending on their personality :)

[@DerekNordicTan]

@@kunilsen2519 I respect and really appreciate your culture and tradition though 😊. Anyways just wanna know out of curiosity, You as a Norwegian, Which Northern Norway region or place aside from Tromsø/Svalbard is the best to live in that you would fully recommend?

[@lassekristoffersen5906]

Best. More more more.

That was very funny 😂

[@madeleine5313]

The French lady is hilarious 🤣 I agree with her with the butchering of the French words (and I’m a Norwegian)

[@Joddefar]

Ok det 2:32 er ok og det viste jeg ikke

[@ahkkariq7406]

Norwegian food probably tastes different to people who have not burned their taste buds with strong food.

[@VisitNorway]

we guess this is the reason why they say "tastes differ" :) but true, the clean nordic taste can be very different to what many people are used to.

[@samyhajji4565]

well done

[@VisitNorway]

😍

[@thao365]

Funny haha

[@mandurilravenous5324]

[@kauaiboy5o]

Quite a contradiction, Norwegians are "friendly and welcoming" and at the same time extremely hard to get know them which might take years....Mmmmmm....

[@Traslan]

Friendly and welcoming is just a winded way of saying 'polite' 😂

[@VisitNorway]

It´s the truth! 😃🫶

[@johnmcmullan9741]

I feel sorry for Norwegians. Norway is a resource-poor country by default on the periphery geographically and climatically. Norway has Europe's worst economy and it's officially the world's least self-sufficient due to its unfortunate rocky landscape and lack of fertile soils. If war breaks out, Norway becomes a humanitarian crisis within months.

[@poges]

Hi from Canada. I thought they were oil rich, no?

[@erlendgjerde8409]

@@poges Yes, Norway is one of the top 5 richest countries in the world or thereabout. Even though Norway doesn't have much fertile soil, we have always had lots of resources from the ocean, i.e. fish and since the late 60s oil. And Norway has governed the income from the oil business very well. In the mid 80s, the far right ultra liberal party wanted to sell all the oil resources to private investors. Luckily, that didn't happen. In the late 90s the government started building up the oil fund. Today, Norway owns more than 0.5% of all the stocks in the world, if my memory serves me right.
