I kveld med Ylvis - Vegard imitates speaking Dutch (Eng. subs)

[@elizew26]

This is so funny as a native Dutch person 😂😂 It actually sound like Dutch but it just doesn't make any sense hahaha 😂

[@zeregaa]

im norwegian, and it really does sound dutch to me xD

[@worldcomicsreview354]

When I flew on KLM I always thought the Dutch announcements were English with a northern accent, which I just wasn't quite hearing properly. Also when people crash on Dutch Dashcam footage they sound like Mancs or Yorkshiremen who are so angry they've become incoherent. Or Scousers, who are always angry and inchoherent.

[@Lucyintheskywithdiamonds140]

Hilarisch!

[@BobWitlox]

@@zeregaa I'm Dutch and it's sounds Dutch to me as well, but I cannot understand a word

[@JustSomebodyForEver]

As a Dutch person, this is probably one of the most funniest thing I have ever seen.

[@LyricsKatyPerry]

I'm dutch. He sound dutch, but I can't understand a word.

[@kaas6498]

Dat is de hele grap....

[@Sk1tz092]

@Sutton Louie nobody gives a shit about your fake spam messages, get out!

[@TheSerethos]

ia m dutch and i have to say he portrait the dutch language prety well. and with is assumption of putting ing the extra endings he also made allot of norwegian words dutch. this just shows how close our language actualy realy are. i love norwegian. its sounds so fluid the melody is just awsome. and i can understand a fair bit of it. if i set my mind to a norwegian way of prenouncing

[@cecilieb3617]

To a Norwegian spoken Dutch sort of sounds like a made-up language. You understand very little - yet you feel you are so close to understanding it all. Dutch, Germans and Scandinavians will all understand much of Vegard's gibberish. Try "Jaap Westerdijk at the Amsterdam Mobile Convention".

[@Caligula1995]

Cecilie B well I've been to denmark and sweden recently and when someone was talking in their native language we understood some words but the rest was all just some repeating sounds. when we were listening to it we were like oh i understood a word and now its just like huelehuelehuele ( which it sounded like to me :D ).

[@anastasiap.9804]

As an interpreter, I may say that this episode is a real translator's nightmare.

[@UNDUTCHABL3]

As a Dutchie I can confirm, he speaks Dutch. You're onto us.

[@cientjeeh]

+ZzaPhiRe PaNtZz0982 Sarcasm, my friend, sarcasm.

[@marcoalzeni2398]

how the HELL did he manage to keep a straight face and spout so much nonsense?

[@cheshireerlinberts5806]

+Marco Alzeni he's Ylvis alright hahaha!

[@zteaxon7787]

He could be a politician for the regime if he didn't have talent, a spine, integrity and intelligence.

[@DeSjeft]

Awesome! I have always wondered how Dutch would sound like to non-Dutch people. You gave me a pretty good impression, Thanks!

[@elengrigoryan5446]

I don't know Dutch and I don't know Norwegian either, but hell I can't stop laughing!! Only a masterpiece could make someone laugh so hard without speaking any of the languages!! Vegard, you're such a legend! Love you!

[@Cleavehalla]

The ending killed me, mostly due to his face when he realises he just responded to her questions when she was speaking Swedish and the cat is out of the bag.

[@lilalele7527]

When he says that thing with "textil industry..... general strike..... 28" at 2:29 it totally sounds German. We would say it almost the same way in Germany ("Die Textilindustrie hatte ´nen Generalstreik von ääähhh 28..."). Vegard spoke German. Now I can die peacefully.

[@ingridsbstad1677]

*"So they wear clothes, and then Maria says to Klaus that she's got cancer"*

[@margrietzwart7127]

It's such a good imitation! Like the interpreter said "Ik begrijp d'r geen woord van", it's complete nonsense but still sounds so Dutch. Petje af Vegard!

[@apelsinljuice]

These guys are GENIUSES!

[@ronjarovardotter1745]

Even though the guy was obviously not saying a word Dutch at all, I think his impression was pretty good. I can see how this is what Dutch sounds like to others. Sometimes it even sounded like he was putting some Dutch accent in there hahah

[@marloestibben8299]

That's what it's all about...pretendending to be dutch 😂

[@ronjarovardotter1745]

+Marloes Tibben Yeah I know. :'D I loved the woman who was just like "Versta d'r geen woord van."

[@JoleneLin78]

this is so hilarious! can't believe the interpreters made up what he said. rofl. :'D

[@sundhaug92]

I think they tried infering meaning from tone and pronounciation

[@JoleneLin78]

haha i see! perhaps trying to form sentences from the little phrases they could understand!

[@HolandaChiquita]

I'm Dutch and he is right, everything you say with some extra g's in it will sound Dutch, but it doesn't mean it is. These translators were being very polite and tried very hard to make it a good take, but there were only a view words that were really Dutch, the rest was gibberish! But funny!!!

[@CsharpPreza]

*few words :-D

[@HolandaChiquita]

Filip Kopecký Oooow. Yes thanks, that was a dumb mistake ;)

[@AbigailPoirier]

Hahaha! The host finally lost it! This was funny to me, but I also sympathised with the translators...unless some kind soul puts up English subs, that's how I usually feel watching Ylvis. Completely lost except for an occasional word!

[@ChiyuStar]

I'm Dutch, and for some reason it felt normal to me, but I couldn't make any sense of it. I have the same when watching Ylvis without subtitles. I feel like I understand them, but I don't, at least not completely.

[@wrakowic]

I love how the "host" cannot take it anymore at the end 😂

[@danilomeijer6681]

From Holland, this was fun!

[@jannekedenhollander1727]

I am dutch and I can't understand everthing... But it's really funny to hear this! And I like Vegard very much so I do like it he pretends to speak our language. It is a real language by the way and it is the hardest language to learn for everyone, so respect for Vegard!! Echt geweldig, hoe hij nederlands probeert te praten! Jeg også snakker litt norsk, jeg prøver nå å lære

[@ErrisvanHooff]

hoi ik heb een facebook fan pagina dus als je erbij wilt je bent welkom het heet . ylvis dutchy and neighbors

[@jannekedenhollander1727]

Haha ik ben daar al lid van :)

[@ErrisvanHooff]

haha dan is het goed lol :D

[@VinkPepijn]

Nederlands is lang niet de moeilijkste taal

[@TobiasMoes]

To a Dutch person, this is very funny. He sounds like he's having a stroke.

[@ToBeVerified]

Even though he doesn't know Dutch he does base it on more than Norwegian. "Keine" is not a word in Norwegian, so I figure he knows a little German. He doesn't just speak Norwegian mixed with gibberish, but (at least) a mix of German and Norwegian with gibberish.

It's so brilliant. It sounds like he has a really really big farmer's accent. Genius.

[@charlottedc3174]

Je Nederlands ziet er nochtans zeer goed uit :) nog veel succes bij het studeren! Groetjes vanuit België :D

[@cecilieb3617]

Yes. With a little preparation he would have spoken lots of recognizable words. I'm sure he's able to spot what Norwegian words are of Low-German origin. Ex. all the words starting with an-, be- or for-. Then.. jump into it. I think the Dutch would understand. Another rule of thumb: if the word is similar in Scandinavian and English, it's very often a common Germanic word. Ex: body parts, leaf trees, basic food. Melk, egg, brød in Dutch? Should be easy. Ceci from Ekeberg, Oslo. Dutch: Eikenberg?

[@passie114]

i'm dutch and can't understand a word of it but it's hiliarious:) i even put the subs on

Vegard looks like Paul Rudd especially when he smiled.

[@aliianyshanova7094]

For us Dutch, speaking norwegian or Danish is like say the dutch word but image your a sheep at the end of the word. The ééu and a more vibrating rrreu. (agian the sheep sound)

off cOUrse! dutch and afrikaans both belong to the netherlandophonic language group! afrikaans stil kan be understood quite well by flemish and dutch speakers, here and there you might miss a word or an expression, but not worse than english and australian

[@Tunkert]

if you're reffering to my link then you have absolutely no sense of what is funny. Second: Ylvis is norwegian, not Dutch. Conclusion: You must not be very fun at parties :)Marco Alzeni

[@dreski1967]

I am Dutch and I can do the same thing with Swedish. The two languages are more similair than you might think. But is is funny.

[@hannem9799]

Absolutely. I'm Norwegian. I've never learnt any Dutch. Had four years of German, two years of French. Give me some foreign papers, German: I'll understand 75%. Dutch: 70% (because Dutch is even closer to Scandinavian). French: 30%.

[@Serenoj69]

@@hannem9799 Form my Dutch side being in Denmark and Sweden on several holidays I came to me that not only the languages but also the countries are more similar to The NEtherlands than to germany. At least Danmark is very similar. I already knew I could read these languages without learning them because I did on internet. I wonder if that would have been possible to the same degree with GErman. Never will be able to asses that as I had to learn german the first three years at school (age 12-15). But aal in all I feel Scandinavia is clearly closer to us in many ways than Germany. I Germany I feel abroad, especially in Denmark I never really felt abroad. Just another province. Oh and when I was talking to my son the Danish host said she understood every word I was saying. She asked me what language I spoke and she had no clue Dutch was so similar. Sadly, while reading Danish is easy understanding it when spoken is really difficult for me. But I managed to comprehend the weatherforecast on TV for 90% which on holidays is one of the most important things...Norwegian when written seems very very similar to Danish but spoken to me it is much easier as is Swedish btw.

[@autumnakins7640]

Not sure why a lot of these say they have english subtitles but they do not.

[@TemperaMagenta]

Did you activate the captions? There's a cc button on the action bar on the video. It displays the subtitles for me, so I don't know why it shouldn't for you as well.

[@autumnakins7640]

No problem :) It's not always an intuitive place to look for subtitles, I must admit :P
