Norway's SKAM Norwegian Explained - s01e01

[@maalisu2761]

I wanted to watch SKAM to learn some norwegian by hearing but the problem is.. when I was watching it, I had like no idea what is actually going on there. Great video, thanks for explaining :)

[@elizabernal6958]

must say thank you, have 2 years learning norwegian, your channel have been always helping me, i listen to you when i go for a run, or walking to anywhere, always. your voice is very familiar for me now. du har hjelpt meg mye. No eg kan snakka med norsk folk. takk skal du ha.

[@NorwegianTeacher]

Så fint å høre :D DU er flink :D

[@ecamifna]

as a SKAM fan + norwegian learner, this was a very interesting video! thanks :)

[@ollsokolova5840]

Great video! I'm looking forward to your next episodes. Tusen takk!

[@NorwegianTeacher]

+julietmustdie I'm so glad you liked it! :D will hurry on and make more!

[@brianll389]

How can I see SKAM. What vpn have you used to see it?

[@takforalt]

Wow! I learned a lot. Easy because I know so little. Mange takk Karin.

[@Yvaia]

Thank you so much! It was relatively easy to learn English slang because the entire internet is basically English - however just phrases or sayings from Norway are much more difficult to come across and then understand how to use. And since Skam is full of teenage slang it's a great example to use! Anyway, looking forward to more of these.

[@darya5729]

Thanks so much for this video Karin! I couldn't expect anything better than what you've done because it's like a dream coming true :)) I would be glad and grateful if you do more videos like this one. Looking forward to see more of you explaining Norwegian things. Tusen takk!

[@hcy3964]

I was sent here from tumblr and i'm so freaking excited ahhhhhh thank you so much for making these videos x

[@NorwegianTeacher]

Im so happy you where sent here :D Hope you learn a lot of exciting things :D

[@drunkenmeerkat]

Exactly what i needed!! Tusen takk Karin! Vær så snill å fortsette, det hjelper meg så mye 😊👍👍👍

[@alaadeenn88]

Thanks a lot Karin keep the good work up 😊👍👍 this is one of the most useful slang tutorial that one can't find in any book.

[@karym8686]

this is so helpful! I've been learning some Norwegian because of the show, but any websites that teach it teach formal phrases and vocabulary, not slang and other common phrases. I'm definitely going to keep watching your videos! :)

[@arantxamontilva5419]

Hahahah, 8:32 , you look cute explaining the word Luremus 😄 thank you!! I have loved the videos of slang, stavanger and danish too 😍

[@josephiney458]

Love it so much. I felt like the subtitles were good enough to understand, but it's much better with your video :) tusen takk, Karin❣

[@paulinas1807]

Thank you for the video! I gave up Norwegian a few months ago but now I've got back to learning since I've started to watch Skam :D your explanations are very helpful, tusen takk!

[@NorwegianTeacher]

+Green Goose cool that you are back' lykke til :)

[@noniabdulmajid4274]

Venbelkomme

[@brianll389]

Where can I watch Skam if I am outside of norway

[@shelbywhitmire6883]

I have been watching Skam since the beginning and it has really helped with my learning! However, there is a lot of slang and my Norwegian friends don't always know how to explain everything! This video really helps and I hope you make more of them!!

[@sianchitchat]

Awesome! I watched the first 3 seasons consulting a Danish friend of mine about things that confused me, but still missed a few of these. Please continue!! :D

[@xBodyLanguagex]

Omg please do more! I've seen all three series of skam and I love them! Your videos are amazing ❤️

[@juratezymantiene1664]

Im glad that i found you :) i like your videos, im planing to go to live in Norway soon, so your videos is very useful :) Dont stop creating them :) thx and good luck!

[@juliegagnemusique]

Tusen takk for det! Det var veldig interessant og hjelpsom. :-)

[@ImperiumWróżek]

I am very careful with giving likes, and even more careful with subscribing. I saw some of your videos, but this is the first time I am giving you a like! You totally got me with "skam", i love it! And it's nice to learn based on this. (btw i know you from Weird Norwegian! :D)

[@kol246]

this is so cool!!! ive been trying to learn Norwegian for a while now and i felt like not understanding slang was holding me back a bit so its cool to watch something like this as an aid to learning formal grammar and make me feel more comfortable and submerged in the language/culture

[@NorwegianTeacher]

+Leslie R-O great! That's absolutely the point!! :D

[@stevebloodymckenna]

kjempebra video Karin!. Jeg elsker SKAM, den lærte meg så my om den norske kulturen, og so mye nye ord og "slang". jeg ville elske å se flere! :)

[@NinaDee10]

Thanks I find your videos really helpful! I am English girl dating a norweigan for 2 years now and I've been starting to learn and getting more confident now I am watching skam too so this is really nice to get some understanding of the slang words! Can't wait for more! Tussen takk!

[@theakanin4136]

NinaDee10 Tusen takk* (:

[@buckiiie]

I just found out about your channel although I already finished the series but still appreciate the complementary information! thank you for taking the time to do this! I hope I'll master a bit of Norwegian before visiting your country! hello from France!

[@OFAraway]

This is so cool idea - to explain some things from Skam! Thank you A LOT!!!

[@sandrapark4438]

Tusen takk for det, Karin! I loved this. I knew about Russebuss but I learned a lot of good vocabulary. Please do more episodes.

[@shashankgupta5905]

Thank you karin for giving such nice insights about the Norwegian culture and about the skam show, I like your videos and the way you explain things.👍👍👌

[@AntonioNeto-if7fl]

Omg, the norwegian intonation is so hard to get :(

[@brianll389]

How can I see SKAM. What vpn have you used to see it?

[@ImperiumWróżek]

@@brianll389 Actually there is an official Danish website where it is possible to watch it for free, but there are only Danish subtitles. www.dr.dk/drtv/saeson/skam_-i_45882

[@ThumpingPeaches262]

yes please!! I would love to watch you explain the other SKAM episodes. Even when I read the English subtitles when I watch the show, I don't get some of the slang or the other stuff that they say. Your videos would be so incredibly helpful!!

[@NorwegianTeacher]

I've already started my research for episode 2 :)

[@elijahmagnussen6880]

This helped me understand so much! Tusen takk for undervisningen (hope I said that correctly)!

[@NorwegianTeacher]

Perfekt norsk! :D

[@Luchiofficial]

Can't wait for other videos! Please keep doing them

[@KarimLikes2Play]

I've just discovered this fantastic TV series thanks to your video! I'm totally in love with it now. I've downloaded the 3 seasons. Just finished the first one. Favorite character : vilde! Sana is awesome to!

[@NorwegianTeacher]

Haha so cool :D Glad I could help :D I love Vilde as well, but I cant choose a favorite :O

[@KarimLikes2Play]

Norwegian Teacher - Karin actually I like her because she's so beautiful and naive at the same time. Sana is also amazing: being Muslim myself I really appreciate the fact that a Muslim woman is being granted a main role almost a leadership role in a TV show ! It is a very good thing to "de dramatised" the "Muslim question" with such tv show... It can ' really help fresh immigrants or their descendant to identify themselves and find thir place in the Norwich society. I'm right now watching the second season and look forward for the fourth one.... And thanks to you I'm considering learning norwegian as a fourth language besides German! Thanks and keep doing what you are doing. Norway is a fantastic country as Germany. Hope to visit it one day.... Greetings from Marseille France!

[@zaggy16]

This was great and very helpful. Please go on with these. However, can you make the words or sentences that show up last a little longer? I had to rewind a few times to see them again while you were explaining. Tusen takk!

[@NorwegianTeacher]

Yes I will! I might even use the youtube-subtitle versions. I'll see. But ofcourse I'll make them last longer next time! :)

[@DevPreston]

Excellent concept, Karin! I didn't know about SKAM but I can see it on the nrk app, providing I'm using WI-Fi via Norway. I better get viewing some more.

[@velaszko]

Interesting! Please continue.

[@denisfidalgo5427]

muy interesante para aprender vocabulario y costumbres. Gracias Karin!!

[@tr706v]

amazing to have found this. I am learning Norsk because of school next year.

[@williamrhodes8059]

I enjoy this and think it will be a big hit. It's definitely a great idea so you should keep going!

[@Deppherillion]

haha i've seen many of your videos and i certainly didn't expect you to say "blue balls" in the end! Anyways thank you this is very helpful, I've been wondering what these slang expressions meant when i watched the show. Det er helt sykt!

[@dimitrije4063]

Fantastic video! Can't wait to see more!! :)

[@cantilena111]

Jeg tror at på engelsk er det sånn: Jævla bra = Damn good, Jævla søt = Damn sweet Takk for videoen!

[@alliechow6427]

thank you for doing this, it's really helpful! continue doing them :)

[@norwegianking8735]

Takk. I wish I could come visit it again. It was so much fun.

[@thebaysix]

tusen takk :) jeg var ganske forvirret som "russebuss". jeg trodd det var en ekte buss fra Russland hahaha

[@NorwegianTeacher]

hahha, det er veldig morsomt for meg å høre :D Så bra det hjelper!

[@MrOperettalover]

Russ means, "remove the horn". A horn the students got placed in their forehead after the final exam at the gymnasium (high school) was taken and should be carried until the result was revealed. If the student passed, the horn would be removed. This tradition goes all the way back to old ancient Greece. Funny enough, Gymnasium was discontinued in the original form which included emphasis on physical activity, already in the fifties, thus there is not really such thing as russ in Norway anymore, but the tradition survived the public school reformation. Many countries in Europe still have the traditional gymnasiums, but still haven't anything similar to the Norwegian russ celebration. The horn part of the tradition is also gone. At last a funny fact. In Norway russ celebration has gone out of control and many politicians suggest the celebration is moved after the exams. Their suggestion is in fact the only way to be in line with the tradition. There is no such thing as horn in your forehead before you have taken the exams and the russ celebration refers to the time from when you get the horn until you get it removed. The only way I can see this possible is by moving the national day, 17 of May, five weeks, to 24 of June. It would be a good move as it would share it with National day of pralines:-)

[@kanyinsolaadeliyi]

they're so interesting! i started learning norwegian because of skam, please carry on- also if you could add more subtitles for the things you say, and leave them on for longer as it would help with my grammar and spelling, thankyou!

[@NorwegianTeacher]

+Sola Adeliyi hey! Thanks for the feedback! I hope I have managed to do this more for the later videos, episode 2-4? I have left the Subtitles on for long I think! :) I will continue! Thanks for the feedback!

[@k.handelsman2608]

Great video! Tusen takk for making this

[@brunodeleo1193]

This is a brilliant idea, Karin - thank you! It could be the perfect training before season 4 begins :D

[@moh1818]

takk skal du ha, det var veldig nyttig, jeg vil gjerne at du forsette med det.

[@saskiaingridinariweiss9629]

The Jeg fikk 5'er is interesting because we have numbers in Austrian schools as well. Except there a 5 means you failed and a 1 means you did everything right. I love your channel by the way. I'm trying to learn Norsk using Duolingo and your channel gives me a lot of context.

[@Holden10shr]

Amazing video! Would love to see more!

[@Alisen12]

Tusen takk for forklare disse ord! Jeg lærer norsk på universitetet og det er så bra å se på SKAM for å lære norsk. Jeg se på SKAM i NRK hjemeside og jeg kan også lese teksting men jeg frostå ikke alle ord. Det er veldig bra at du forklarer alle disse ting. Jeg har bare lært norsk i et år fordi er det ikke så lett på meg.

[@joeyhan3795]

I hope you can continue this project!thanks a lot~

[@MagdalenaHaupl]

In German "Vorspiel" actually mostly means foreplay as in the sexual way, if we want to say "party before the party", as in drinking something before going out it is "vorglühen"

[@rockchick18495]

Hei Karin! Not sure if someone already asked: I have just started to learn Norwegian recently but I realized Eva pronounces a "k" before all the h-words like "hvorfor, hvordan, hvem" etc. Is this a dialect? From Bergen or Stavanger maybe? Also is it more of a colloquial pronounciation if the "kk" in "ikke" becomes more of a "ch" sound? Takk for hjelpe!

[@NorwegianTeacher]

Hello! :) Eva is from Bergen! She has lts of those K's, check out my bergen video: kzbin.info?o=U&video_id=I99Q3K18T6c Also, you can see what I talk about in the Stavanger video, they have lots of the same with the K-words and the CHsound. Stavanger video: kzbin.info?o=U&video_id=8F8SnVzGei8 or this: kzbin.info?o=U&video_id=Sk9ST8R2SDk :) Good catch!

[@ravensberger]

"Vorspiel" in German does absolutely not mean the pre-party! The pre-party in German is called "Vorglühen", which means something like to heat/warm up. However "Vorspiel" is mainly used in terms of sex.

[@MrOperettalover]

Jan, with utter amplification on *mainly*. Vorspiel is in wide use in german everyday language, from music to sport and there in between religion. It mainly interpret to "action before the main event"... All though you're right about "vors" and how it is used in Norwegian directly translate to meet up at somebody's home drinking before going to a party, it means more than exactly that. (Germans wouldn't even understand the concept even though they've got a word for it) Gathering in small parties at different places with the motive to meet the at main party adds more than being drunk at arrival. Thus, vorspiel absolutely means pre-party in context of Feierlichkeiten which is exactly what's spoken about in this video. Oddly enough, the neighboring word, nachspiel is not mentioned even though it is much more common. "Nachspiel" is most commonly used without slang and no translation. Even though Nach is after (etter) and spiel is (game) spill, in Norwegian. Norwegians have adopted this word as their own. To be more precise one should rather call it Nachtspiel as such parties without exception will happen at night, preferably after the nightclubs close. Pardon me for being almost clueless about the series Skam, but are there really no Nachtspiel in there? In that case the author needs a reality check about Norway.

[@ravensberger]

Well, thank you for instructing me on my mother tongue! I am German and therefor perfectly clear about the meaning and use of "Vorspiel" in the German language. Of course you can use "Vorspiel" in other terms than sex, but that's the subject where it derives from. If you use it in another context, it always comes with a slight coquettish undertone, which is intended to crack a joke or at least make somebody smile. "Vorspiel" is almost never used correctly in terms of music. What you might mix up with is "Vorspielen", the event of playing in front of a jury. You sometimes find "Vorspiel" in theatre, where it is used like "Vorspiel auf dem Theater". Here it stands for a short scene at the beginning of a play, like an intro. Germans never use "Vorspiel" in terms of sports. I can't even think of a word or situation that might have led to this idea. Furthermore, I can assure you, that using "Vorspiel" in the context of "Feierlichkeiten" is definitely not correct at all and would cause major bewilderment among native speakers. However "Nachspiel" is quite commonly used in the German language, mainly to describe that something will have (bad (legal)) consequences. If somebody says to you: "Das hat ein noch Nachspiel!" it means, that you really pissed him/her off and that you will find yourself in trouble soon. I have never heard the word "Nachtspiel" in German and neither have the people around me. As it is always possible in German to create new words by combining single nouns, the two words "Nacht" = night and "Spiel" = game, match could be combined to a correct sounding word. However, I'm afraid to say that apart from a football match, that takes place in the middle of the night, I couldn't think of a situation where this word would make sense at all.

[@hannem9799]

Actually the Norwegian use of the German words "Vorspiel" and "Nachspiel" puzzle Norwegian linguists. They seem to have been in use since the 1930's - but with a completely different meaning than the German originals. The logical Norwegian words would have been "førfest" and "etterfest". In many countries you won't need words for these phenomenons. They don't exist. In Norway they do, it's got to do with prices of alcohol and opening hours. But why pick German words - and give them a totally different meaning? It's unique. And a mystery.

[@ShaderMC]

As far as I understand she said what it means in Norwegian and said that the word comes from the German 'Vorspiel', but didn't imply it means the exact same thing in Modern German as 'vors' does in norsk.

[@Chantwizzle]

She didn't say anything about German. She said what Vors means in Norwegian and then added spiel.

Jeg fikk 5'er - I got 5s (meaning grades) Jævla bra/jævla søt - damn good/damn sweet Vi stikker (a slang phrase) - let's go ("å stikke" means "to sting") Halla, hva skjer 'a? Hva skjer? - hey, what's up? (lit. what's happening) Starter buss - talking about someone "starting a bus", this comes from Norwegian concept of "Russebuss" Førstis - a freshman Vors - "pre-party", a party before the party Dritgøy - super funny ("drit" means "crap") Høstferie - fall break I kveld er det lov å være hore - tonight it's allowed to be a whore Luremus (lit. tricky mouse) - a girl who acts like she wants to have sex, but backs out in the end
