Norway dissected: Comprehensive interview with the stupid YouTubers Yourway2Norway

[@jenniferreese6805]

I grew up in Minnesota. My family is Norwegian. I grew up with only salt and pepper as seasoning and lots of onions and potatoes for our veggies. When I got older I introduced garlic and hot sauce to my parents. It was like I sinned🤦Love your channel. Congrats ! Your famous!

Can’t wait to see more from you two.

[@real.v.factor]

I was born from parents who both were born and raised in Norway... they left Norway to follow work in the early 70s... I was born after... so my Norwegian - I still speak it with my mother (my father passed away in 2017) - is a time capsule of that era! I went to a highly Scandinavian attended University for my Senior year in the USA and the Norwegians were prompt to correct me on terminology that was severely outdated. My wife who is from Australia found your channel and has been sharing your videos with me ever since. I couldn't agree more about most of everything you put out there. You are truly champions of opening the door for true Norwegian-ship to come to the fore... an open and international way of enjoying our culture. Jeg er veld stole av deg dare gjør!!! Valentin

[@HayleySulfridge]

It’s not like the headlines because it SOUNDS like it’s some sort of paradise, but I think it being ranked the happiest place to live (based on what I’ve studied) has to do with the way Norwegians are brought up and their perspectives and expectations in life. They don’t make a fuss, they don’t have high expectations or think of each other as better or worse than one another, they don’t go to restaurants and expect the royal treatment. They expect a basic, normal life and deal with any issues as they come, and don’t get overly upset over things. It’s a people who expect what they get, if that makes sense?

Thank you for your wonderful videos.

I am so glad this video was done. It clears up a lot of ideas people might have. Also, Ronald, you still look 28 years old. I think I need to look at your drivers license to believe your stated age. After watching all your videos, any other people I try to watch seem incredibly boring. And lastly, KZbin needs to start a' Give Award' function. Seriously. Thanks again much.

Fantastic I really enjoyed watching this interview, I have learnt so much from your videos about Norway and all this is so very true. I first went to Oslo in 2018 and was surprised at the food in supermarkets or maybe the lack of selection and items we in the UK are familiar with I did find it difficult the second time was much better and I could put a meal together which I would enjoy with available items. I found it took time for people to get used to me on the campsite but then they started coming over and wanting to talk to me and be friendly. ❤️❤️❤️

[@ankavoskuilen1725]

That was a cool interview! After this I am even more hoping to see the Sami video because I already learned things I never knew before.

[@RoseQuartzGemini]

Ronald, I'm sorry to hear about how your Sami heritage was hidden. I am learning a lot by watching this, thank you for sharing this, it's so much fun to watch!

[@sandraanderson2345]

I'd personally like to know why the Sea Sami, in particular, were treated more harshly than those Sami herding reindeer. Was it economically motivated, because the Sea Sami posed a potential to infringe on the Norwegian fishing industry?

[@ahkkariq7406]

@@sandraanderson2345 There are complex reasons why the sea Sami were treated less well. Fishing may have been part of it, but my understanding as a sea Sami myself (who have read a lot of Sami history), is that the part of the sea Sami's combination culture (fishing, hunting, farming and gathering) that was most "troublesome" for the Norwegians was that the sea Sami were tied to the ground in another way than reindeer herding Sami. They were resident, and therefore became a competitor for the arable land. It was not as easy to settle down where they lived. Another reason is that the reindeer herding Sami because they were nomads could much more easily get away from other peoples. They knew every stone and every tree over large areas, and when the immigrants became too troublesome, they withdrew. They were also seen as more "high-value" with their free way of life. Although they were not considered as good as the Norwegians, the sea Sami were at the bottom of the ladder, below both Finnish immigrants (Kvens) and reindeer herding Sami.

[@sandraanderson2345]

@AhkkariQ-Thank you for responding. I had suspected the discrimination was due to certain parties wanting control of the sea Sami's lands and fishing areas. The very idea of witholding a home by forcing someone to surrender their heritage (after losing so much to the Nazis during WWII) is reprehensible. There are far better ways to encourage assimilation than by the means those parties employed. Kind of reminiscent of the way the indiginous people have been treated in so many other countries-a shameful period in history.

[@ahkkariq7406]

@@sandraanderson2345 The story of the oppression of the Sea Sami goes back much further than World War II. In fact, WWII led to the annihilation of the Sea Sámi culture because it was redefined as Norwegian. We who were born a couple of decades after the war were not told that we were Sami. The evacuation and burning of the counties of Troms and Finnmark in Norway erased all physical traces. It became the last nail in the coffin. We who today try to take back our identity, language and culture have a difficult task. Many people in the High North do not want to know that they are ethnic Sami. My generation is fighting against in every conceivable way, but fortunately the younger generation is more open to the Sami, so there is hope.

[@aromatherapy5956]

Hei, I love your show. It explains a lot about my family. My Grandparents were from Oslo and immigrated to the states. I always thought my Grandmother had a very cold personality, they were Luthran and not emotional. As a little girl I was actually afraid of her. Now watching your episodes, I realize this is part of the Norwegian culture and I understand my Norwegian family much better. Tusen Takk!

[@maratimazarati]

Great interview guys! I still haven't watched the "uffda" video, but to me it does sound like the Polish "ku*wa". Aside from the foul meaning, it can be used in various occasions - from a promotion at work, through a boring day where nothing happens, to someone's death... Keep up the good work, I am becoming a solid follower! :)

[@juztnlast953]

Brilliant interview! I really enjoyed this. Please keep making many many more Your Way 2 Norway videos!

[@sandraanderson2345]

Hi, guys, i can sooo relate to the comment about "why are you laughing so much?" Did you ever hear " Idle hands are the devil's playground. You need to be doing something productive."? There were more, but it becomes depressing to remember. Some can't be shaken, so one reverts to the "Protestant work ethic" drill, bordering on obsessive compulsive. That's why your videos are so great-moments to stop, relax, laugh, contemplate on Mads as Joan Collins while on Hyttetur...Now I better understand why Mads despises cross country skiing. Your subscribers are so glad you two connected. You really compliment one another! It's good to see sarcasm re: one's fellow countrymen and their habits. You'd fit in very well, here! Love you both! Thanks for a great interview.

[@saoirseryan2546]

My Catholic grandmother told me that "boredom is a sin". I'm pretty.sure it was just her way of getting me to stop complaining a bit having nothing to do as a child

[@sandraanderson2345]

Or, was it our grandparents' way of getting us to work? I honestly can't recall one grandparent ever demonstrating "down time". Unfortunately, this was passed on from generation to generation, in some homes, making it difficult to enjoy things like sitting on a beach, enjoying a sunset, etc.

[@ykennedy4473]

Excellent, really interesting interview of you two, and as usual, some great laughs! Like Sam, I also have a great interest and curiosity about Norway and Nordic culture. I am grateful to have found your unique channel a couple of years ago. Your channel manages to transcend common stereotypes and provide an honest, often very funny and endearing profile of Norway, it’s culture and people. Also, I really enjoyed your recent episodes showing how Norwegians are weathering the pandemic. However, there is one thing that is most concerning - It’s your pizza. That is the saddest, most pathetic frozen pizza I’ve ever seen! I also imagined healthy delicacies like salmon, and berries and amazing cheese.... Hopefully that pathetic pizza stays in the big city, far, far away from the Sami culture. (Looking forward to more of your adventures!)

[@kaybee390]

Wonderful to learn about how your channel came to be. I can totally relate to the difference between lived experience and the tourist experience - I have similar issues with my home province in Canada (part of why I left). It is so important to give a true account of life. How could we explore these things beyond the sanctioned storylines without KZbin? I knew that there was discrimination against Saami peoples, but I had no idea it was that horrible. Thank you for bringing awareness.

How is your program regarded in Norway Ronald and Mads? I always wondered about how the Sammi were treated? I heard ingenting about the Sammi history really.

[@YOURWAY2NORWAY]

We will tell the whole story soon :)

[@sundhaug92]

Norwegian here: Frankly, we treated the Sami like shit. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%A1mi_people#Discrimination_against_the_S%C3%A1mi

[@knuthenriksommer4982]

Samis were treated really badly, especially btw 1850 and the early 1970s. Before 1850 they were not so much exposed to assimiliation because the idea of ethnic unity (nation) as the basis for a state (nation-state) hadn't had its breakthrough yet. Before the 1850s priests going to sami areas had to learn sami language. After the 1850s samis were forced to speak norwegian (sami language only survived in the homes and in the læstadian - Google - parishes), same for finnish-speaking minorities (kvæn). The "re-awakening" of sami-identity started with a children TV-show in the 80s called "Ante" and it grew into pride with the Alta-river protests in the early 80s leading to the establishment of the Sami-parlament. The sami-population Ronald belongs to was really hard affected by this. They lacked the traditional identity-marker of sami culture: raindeer herding. They mostly lived in permanent houses and lived from fishing, making their identity compared to norwegians somewhat "blurred". The only "force" supporting them and appreciating their language and culture was the puritan christian "læstadian" movement.

I am finally getting a chance to watch this, having saved it for " later viewing " some time ago. I have watched several of your KZbin videos and figured very early on that you were mixing valuable information with comedy, which is a very good idea by the way, but I am surprised by the " back story " both of you guys reveal here. I thought that I knew a small bit about the Sammi (sp?) but I seriously under estimated what it was like. It seems to vaguely resemble the way of life of the American Indian, and unfortunately, the Sammi people were (and still are ?) treated like the American Indian. And out of that darkness comes much of your humor.

Sami and Norwegians are actually closely related. Both peoples are descendants of the Stone Age people who migrated up when the ice retreated. It is confirmed by both archaeological, linguistic and DNA findings. Later, other groups migrated in and mixed with the original population, and the Sami and Norwegian ethnic groups were formed on the spot, one in the north and the other in the south. In the north, a large part of the old language survived (a large part of the Sami language is of unknown origin), but in the south the language disappeared. Only small remnants survived as part of the Norwegian language.

Ronald, the old pictures of the Sami remind me so much of the American Indians! Living in Yurts/Tepees look strikingly similar to the old ways of our indigenous people in North America. Good for you for being proud of your heritage and bringing the oppression of them to the forefront. Norwegians should rejoice in the addition of the Sami culture to the modern Norway. It's really a package deal.

Tepees in Sami language is called Lavvou. It's the same

I'm Magyar (Hungarian) and I love spice. When i was really young I didn't, but I cultivated a taste for it around the age of 19. In our traditional cuisine we generally use a moderate amount of spices and pepper (paprika).

I’ve been binging on your videos. I love them. By all of your insights I would conclude that Autism Spectrum Dissorder (high functioning) is the normal mindset in Norway and typical Americans have a dysfunctional neurology compared to it. (As someone who is autistic this is how I see it lol)

Omgs, why wasn't I informed about this new video! Two weeks of ignorance has passed already (well, a lot more than that, actually). So this was a long video interview and a good one. You know, I would like to know more about the Sami, and maybe even what it's like to be Sami, much like the Norway theme you two have been doing. Really, if you guys ever want a change of culture misrepresentation, that might be a good avenue to try going down? All I ever hear about Sami here is the music (which I have sought out and am thrilled about), reindeer meatballs, cool sweaters and more reindeer. The bits like the home ownership rules and stuff I think needs to be told. People are maybe opening up to hearing about this now? Maybe even the French! Naaaaaahhh. But the Fins would be interested. I think we should get Norway some good Columbian flavours though, don't you? Mmmmm! Latin American food and music is magnificent.
