Norwegian Bokmål vs. Nynorsk: Verbs

[@stariyczedun]

Jackson Crawford, the rizzler.

[@davidlericain]

Hearing Jackson say "riz" was my Christmas present.

[@Infrared01]

That ending was hilarious

[@uncaliber]

These are great. Looking forward to more!

[@Ramngrim]

Your friend has a nice Norwegian style cardigan. Very fitting for today's topic.

[@delanebredvik]

Hey thanks, I'm that friend. Jackson is a genius, so yeah, it was cool that he edited that in.

[@martindiaries]

More Nynorsk yes, let's gooooo 💪

[@midtskogen]

It shouldn't be more difficult to learn Nynorsk that Bokmål for a foreigner. Since Nynorsk tries to generalise features of many dialects, it was an opportunity to make the written language more systematic and regular than the spoken language. On the other hand, Bokmål has a lot of Danish baggage. Nynorsk was a fresh start, so it should really be easier.

[@MultiProGGer]

This is super interesting. I've been learning Bokmål, maybe I'll take a closer look at Nynorsk.

[@troelspeterroland6998]

Strong verbs in Standard Danish versus South Jutlandic also show the difference between the East Norse and the West Norse system: jeg får - æ fæe jeg går - æ gæe jeg har - æ hæe jeg kommer - æ kømme jeg når - æ næe jeg slår - æ slæe jeg står - æ stæe

[@Molmen07]

😂

[@midtskogen]

Is "nå" a strong verb?

[@troelspeterroland6998]

@@midtskogen Only in the sense that it has umlaut in the present. So it's not strong in Standard Danish. And I suppose the actual definition of a strong verb is that it has ablaut, not umlaut. So I'll correct myself (and Jackson too, I suppose): Many of the Sønderjysk and Nynorsk verbs with umlaut in the present are not actually strong.

[@toaztelg]

so weird listening to a non-Norwegian talking about my own language. I speak Stavanger dialect, which is close to nynorsk, but I write in bokmål

[@MrJenssen]

I'm Norwegian, I have nothing to learn from this and I don't know why I'm here. But, eh, screw it. I'm here.

[@hrafnagu9243]

Nynorsk eller bokmål?🧐

[@fgunerius]

I highly doubt you have nothing to learn from this video 🙃

[@ErikHolten]

I mean, i-mutation of strong verbs is not exactly taught in high school.

[@ryskatt]

Eg hata nynorsk på skulen. Skreiv bare på goe Sandnes dialekt å besto 😂👍

[@UnenlagiafraMaknoeja]

I love this video series! Keep 'em coming :) I've always found nynorsk and western dialects "prettier" for some reason, but mastering bokmål first is a must do to access proper resources.

[@arveskjellanger4121]

Read a poem in nynorsk and compare to bokmål, it is always better in nynorsk

[@hrafnagu9243]

I actually learned Nynorsk first. It made it way more difficult but I like it so I did it.

[@areadrian22]

crazy as a norwegian watching an american teach me my language here fr

[@eiksynd]

In Sunnmøre and Nordfjord 'kj'-sound is pronounced as 'ch' in english 'chest', etc.

[@kartogr-c3e]

Sunnfjord and Nordhordland as well.

[@johanneswerner1140]

The "ich" loud sound pretty decent. interesting current shift of ikke and ikkje is now ik-kje (I guess... ikk-chje). Strange, but a common thing among the young ones.

[@imafuckinggod.]

I love you

[@vincentfinn292]

Very interesting!

[@SiavashHeydari-Guran]

What is the intro song? could'nt find it anywhere.

[@JacksonCrawford]

It was custom made for me. Glad you like it!

[@delanebredvik]

Oh wow. Totally Riz and Brat. Keep that Flex going!

[@skippern666]

I'm a Norwegian native speaker, I write Bokmål, but my spoken dialect is closer related to Nynorsk, while none of the written forms conforms with my spoken dialect. My dialect have some old norse casuses that has not survived into neither Bokmål nor Nynorsk, though Nynorsk have more casus forms than Bokmål. Some of my dialect casuses are impossible to write (possibly because I don't know phonetic IPA). An example, written as best I can with normal latin letter notation: Gå i båta, by altering where I put the emphasis can mean "Go into the boat (as in boarding a boat)", or it can mean "walk around in the boat". I think if you study Norwegian dialects all over the country, you will find remnants and building blocks from old norse, that no longer exists in either written form, in almost any dialects, most notably in rural dialects.

[@Ramngrim]

Well, the dialect where I come from used to have the dative too, a couple of generations ago. I don't have it, but I've heard it. That said, "gå i båta" in my dialect, or rather my grandparents' dialect, had to mean "walk around in the boat". It could never mean "enter the boat", because that would be "gå i båten".

[@skippern666]

@@Ramngrim My dialect also have some prepositions that I don't know about is used elsewhere, like "punni" meaning directly under something, like "ballen er punni bilen", the ball us under the car, and "inpun" meaning in under something (enclosed or semi-enclosed space), like "pøsa er inpun tofta" meaning "the bucket is under the till" From what I know, my dialect use dative though I don't know the theory around it so I can't explain nor actually confirm

[@Ramngrim]

@@skippern666 , du er frå ein stad i Trøndelag eller Nordmøre? Eg brukar òg båe "punni" og "innpunnj". Og "tu", som i "Ho kom tu bya." Besteforeldrane mine sa det. Eg seier "tu byn".

[@ulfhedin8728]

Nordmøre?

[@EllieMcEla]

So why don't you write nynorsk?

tusen takk

Есть интересно в норвежском языке звук "ч"?

[@Yohann_Rechter_De-Farge]

Takk👍🏻

[@evvient]

good video! Nynorsk was created through multiple different dialects across Norway, to «fight» back the danish and whatnot introducing Bokmål and trying to force out norwegian dialects. They failed, we northernes won :P

[@midtskogen]

Well, it grew out of the idea that as a new nation in the 1800's Norway should have its own written language rather than just sticking with Danish. But people were so used to read and write Danish, which is relative close to Norwegian anyway, so since the effort wasn't universally adopted, the situation got a bit messy. Maybe a lost opportunity.

[@evvient]

@ han gikk rundt å lagde nynorsk for å forene de som hadde dialekt igjen, så det ikkje skulle dø ut

[@kniter]

Eldar Heide has a video on norwegian language history. Highly recommend checking that out.

[@EGULL97]

Doc, I appreciate you and all the knowledge you bring to us. I think you might be a bit less qualified for the modern day slang. Merry Christmas to you all.

[@jonragnarsson]

As somebody who moved to Norway, Norwegian is a mess!

[@talideon]

"kj" and "sj" ought to be easy. After all, it's the same sound (/ç/) as the "h" in "human".

[@weepingscorpion8739]

The humans Hugh and Hugo Hughes surviving humongous humidity levels. Nonsense sentence, but should help illustrate the phoneme. Well, for those that don't merge it with /j/ and say: The yumans Yugh and Yugo Yughes surviving yumongous yumidity levels.

[@hrafnagu9243]

"Sj" er som "sh" på engelsk "short". Det var det som eg trudde iallfall.

[@ankra12]

I speak bokmål. Oslo dialect.
