Norwegian Dialect - Trøndersk (Trøndelag) With SUBTITLES

I got Weird Norwegian Victor from Trøndelag to help me make a video on the dialect from Trøndelag. Steinkjær is where he is from. Check out his channel here:

Hey all Norwegian learners!
The language I'm teaching is not Bokmål nor Nynorsk. It's an Oslo-dialect and I don't think you will have much problem with bokmål after this. :) And everyone will understand this.
I am Norwegian, from Norway. Born and raised. I live in Oslo, with my husband and two sons.

These sounds are palatals. They exist in my dialect of German as well as in Russian. You pronounce them by moving the middle of your tongue to the roof of your mouth.

[@heisljulius]

What german dialect uses them?

In Portuguese too

[@dragan176]

Is it the sound you get in "Mädchen"?

This has to be one of the most hilarious videos from Karin! totally nailed it with her reactions to Trøndersk! 😁😁😁

omg my two favourite norwegian youtubers in one video, my life is complete :)

[@Alisen12]

I am currently studying Norwegian and Icelandic and I love the fact that I can now officially say å fårrå in Norwegian because I always want to say jeg fer instead of jeg går because in Icelandic it is að fara and my mind just does not want to accept that it is not å fare or something like that in Norwegian. So from now on it*s gonna be fårrå. I just have to make up how this is declensed now...

[@ThorKipperberg]

å fare is sunnmørsk dialect, it means to go somewhere, to travel,. same as ad fara in icelandic,. icelandic shares a lot of words from western parts of norway and sunnmørsk and the dialects around the parts of sunnmøre and sogn og fjordane. Many icelanders has ancesters from these parts of norway. Iceland was Norwegian, and was under the Norwegian king, long before the danes started to mess things up. ;)

Å fare works in Bokmål too, but not like fårrå, its farte

[@maxmellow2490]

takk for denne videoen, den var veldig morsom

[@bjrnsrensen8456]

I love these videos. I’ve learned so much from them that I don’t get from regular textbooks. I was wondering if you have a video on the different uses of the word “det.” It seems to be used a lot, even in places where I wouldn’t expect an additional article to be added. For example, when Victor said he was from Steinkjer in nord-Trøndelag, you said “er du det?” which kind of translates to “are you it?” but I assume means “are you?” or “are you really?”

[@bjrnsrensen8456]

I meant to say pronoun, not article.

[@darlawilson5073]

The relaxed and very vowel-heavy way of speaking reminds me of Danish. If you want to make various Norwegian dialects easier to understand, I suggest watching a lot of Danish films, because it really works your brain.

[@NorwegianTeacher]

[@sirbattlecat]

At 3:30 it sounds like he said "I ain't trønder" with a southern accent!

[@brunilda]

Karin, those weird sounds you are referring to are all instances of "palatalization": just pronouncing "n" but making contact with the palate, instead of the alveoles or teeth, and "t" the same way. I didn't know palatalization was characteristic of Trondheim but apparently it is.

[@sebastianlundahl1282]

Grammatiken är väldigt likt Jamtska 😎Tröndelag

[@laughingdolphin8448]

Hallo Karin. I have just written a comment under Victor's video, where I ask him if he is speaking nynorsk or bokmaal, and someone said that these are not something you speak but something you write. In your video 1:25 you say that you don't have this troender sound in bokmaal. This is something I don't understand, because it does mean that you can write dialekt in Norwegian, is it so?

[@NorwegianTeacher]

Hello :) I understand you are confused! Its probably my fault. Let me explain, there is two written languages in norway "Bokmål" and "nynorsk". They are official written languages, that all in Norway have to write formally, one of them. Most places in norway write bokmål, a few write nynorsk. Oslo-dialect and lots of the dialects on the east of norway is almost exactly the same as written bokmål, that is why I often say i "speak" bokmål, even though i really have an "østlandsdialekt" (East-land-dialect). People who has a "real" dialect, dont really refer to my dialect as a dialect :P Was that any clearer? I almost speak as bokmål is written! ;)

[@laughingdolphin8448]

Norwegian Teacher - Karin thank you, I understand now :)

[@morsil88]

Sound so much like Jamtish the Swedish dialect in the neighboring Swedish county Jämtland. This is the only Norwegian I know.

[@FluxTrax]

It's closely related, as it's also a Trøndsk dialect

[@Noksus]

Snakker folk bokmål/vanlig norsk i Trondheim? Jeg lærer norsk og egentlig elsker Trondheim men dette høres ut veldig umulig! Hilsen fra Finland!

[@haeleth7218]

Nice video. Interesting. I am English but my family is from Bergen. I believe there's a strong dialect there too.

[@Rimrock300]

The Bergen dialect is also very distinct. It is basically west coast norwegian dialect, but with a touch of Oslo dialect mixed into it to sound more posh than the 'famers' on the countryside nearby, that speak the more pure west coast dialect;)

[@zakonspirowanyidiota]

So basically this dialect shares some sounds with Polish, like Polish "ń" or "ć" sounds

[@SvendleBerries]

Interesting. "Æ e itj" sounds like the American "I ain't", which means "I am not". Its not exact, but when spoken quickly is sounds pretty similar. Neat :D

I lived in Trondheim for a couple of years and my fiancee is from Trondheim, so this is the most natural dialect for me to speak (Especially weird since I'm from Scotland and actually learned Norwegian in Trondheim!)

[@barborahadrovska5647]

I'm from the Czech Republic and I want to learn Norwegian ... and this is just ... wuaaa ... I can't stop laughing ... And I'm so glad to learn the right style of Norwegian :D

[@FluxTrax]

Sounds like you've learned the wrong type

[@riku32194]

so "Æ kjett i nassin" and "Jeg er tett i nessa" basically means "I have a stuffy nose" or "My nose is stuffy/stuffed (up)"?

[@NorwegianTeacher]

yes! :D

[@saftobulle]

As a swede I find it interesting that some words were more similar to Swedish than bokmål even though overall, trøndersk is much more difficult to understand. It sounds a bit similar to västgötska/värmländska actually.

[@saftobulle]

kebab mix jag har inte skitbra koll på jämtska, men rimligtvis borde det vara likt... Jag tyckte också Västergötland kändes väldigt långt bort, men hur han uttalar konsonanter och mycket av melodin här låter som västgötska. Ioförsig så är Göta-dialekter närmre norska generellt än vad Svea-dialekter är.

[@msf47]

[@juliusbrito]

Hello Karin!!! :) I have a question. People also speak bokmal in Trondheim? Or only Trondheim dialect? Thanks!

[@NorwegianTeacher]

Hey, if they are born in Trøndelag (and Trondheim) they will speak Trøndersk, yes.. They understand Bokmål, and some might speak it (though it might not sound that great), but for everydayspeak, they dont speak bokmål no.

[@juliusbrito]

Thank you!!! 😃

[@FluxTrax]

If I were to speak bokmål it would be like speaking a foreign language with a heavvy accent and it would sound kind of wrong, or I'd sound like a posh pretentious twit so I refrain from that

[@richardblackhound1246]

@@FluxTrax What about people who work in radio and TV, I mean those who you can hear and see, not behind the scenes? Would someone from Trondheim just speak in their own dialect on TV or would they try to speak something closer to Oslo dialect?

[@FluxTrax]

It used to be like that before that people would speak more bokmål like when on tv. It did sound very unnatural though, a bit like someone trying to sound posh or "fintrønder" as we call people speaking bokmål with a central norwegian accent. But there is a tendency amongst younger people to shed some of the regional characteristics when they speak, retaining the verb endings and favouring a rn sound instead of a palatalized n etc.

[@donaldkaspersen3768]

My grandparents and my mother came to the US before the language reforms and, although they never taught me Norwegian -it was the language of secrecy, spoken when the children were not supposed to know what they were talking about- one thing was apparent, after listening to them and their friends: that it seemed that everyone spoke their own dialect of Norwegian, the Harstad, the Bodin, the Arendaler and so on. They sounded different to my ear. Could it be that they normally spoke English so they could understand each other better? Is that why so many Norwegians speak English today?;) You might be amused to know that the one that they all agreed spoke the most peculiar Norwegian was the one they call the "Oslo gutta." -

[@donaldkaspersen3768]

Thank you for the response. I wrote this late at night and left some words out. Oslogutta was what they called the man who spoke with his Oslo accent. It seems that all Norwegians love their language, but have strong opinions about others. A woman I met from Strand told me that my mother's Arendal Norwegian wasn't Norwegian at all- it was Danish! It certainly didn't sound like the language of the Danish woman who lived next door to my paternal grandfather, nor could either of them understand much that the Icelanders spoke, who that lived on the other side of my grandfather's home. The comment that they spoke English to one another so they could understand each other was not serious. You missed the wink and a smile emoticon.

[@benedictewrstad8379]

Arendal-norwegian is probably one of the dialects that are closest to danish, but it’s not danish. And the danes sometimes have a hard time understand norwegian, is my experience AS a norwegian with danish friends.

F0NIX in a Danish dialect you can say something like 'a a æ i æ å, a a å æ ø' meaning 'I am not in the stream, I am on the island'. His dialect reminds me of some Danish.

[@MrKennyBones]

Haha "Æ e i a æ å" actually means "I'm in her as well"

[@gnawershreth]

It's fun to hear these Norwegian dialects. :) I'm from Denmark so Norwegian obviously isn't totally foreign to me but some of the dialect stuff is almost closer to Danish than the.. What do you call it in Norwegian? "Riksnorsk"? The whole "Æ e Trønder" thing reminds me of some of our rural dialects in Jutland, Denmark. We'd probably write it "A æ" though but the idea is the same. There's a sort of "rural tongue twister" in Jutland.. Maybe especially the southern parts of Jutland. "A æ u å æ ø i æ å" which is a complete sentence only using vowels. A æ u å æ ø i æ å = Jeg er ude på øen i åen = I am out on the island in the stream. Two of the Æ's basically get the same function as "The" in English. "Æ ø" = "The Island". The word that the two last Æ's represent in that sentence doesn't exist in Danish though which is odd, we have no "the". We add -en or -et endings to words instead of adding "the" in front of them. "En ø" (a/one island) - "Øen" (The island). But in some rural dialects in Jutland there's sort of a "The" in the "Æ" sound. A lot of the dialects are slowly fading away these days though which I suppose is a shame. :) It's interesting that some things from Danish are more similar to the "strange" Norwegian dialects while other things are far closer to "riksnorsk" (if that's even a word you use.. We use the word "Rigsdansk" so I figure you guys probably have something similar. :P)

[@knuthenriksommer4982]

Gnawer Shreth Vi har ikke et "riksnorsk" talespråk i Norge, bare to offisielle norske skriftspråk. (I tillegg til tre samiske språk: sør-samisk, lulesamisk og nord-samisk. Dessuten har vi et språk nært beslektet med finsk: kvensk). På NRK brukes nå dialekter.

[@gnawershreth]

@@knuthenriksommer4982 Men der må da være en "officiel" eller "korrekt" måde at udtale ord på? Det er vel det, som i kære nordmænd lærer i skolen? Så er der selvfølgelig en masse dialekter, men der er vel en mere "neutral" måde at tale på også? Den "officielle" måde?

[@knuthenriksommer4982]

Gnawer Shreth Nei, det er ingen offisiell måte å uttale norsk på. Folk som har en dialekt de opplever at mange ikke forstår, velger noen ganger å "moderere" dialekten litt for å bli forstått. På skolen bruker elevene dialekt. Vi har kun offisielle skriftspråk som elevene må lære. Dialektene er fylt med mye historisk stolthet og identitet. Alle har selvfølgelig interesse av å bli forstått og forstå andre, så man tilpasser seg automatisk for å oppnå dette. Frem til for noen år siden hadde NRK en slags talestandard som ansatte brukte, men idag bruker også journalister i NRK dialekt. Men, som sagt, de ønsker også å bli forstått og "modererer" dialekten selv hvis nødvendig.

[@gnawershreth]

@@knuthenriksommer4982 Ah, det er interessant at høre. Men hvordan modererer man sin dialekt, hvis der er ikke findes en form for "neutral norsk" eller lign? Jeg kommer fra Midtjylland i Danmark, og her har vi selvfølgelig også dialekter (dog er vores dialekt ikke så slem), og hvis jeg vil "modererer" den lidt, så ændrer jeg den jo netop til at være lidt mere "neutral dansk" eller "officiel dansk" eller hvad man vil kalde det. Hvis der slet ikke findes en "neutral" eller "officiel" tale, hvordan ved man så, hvordan man skal ændre på udtalen for at moderere en dialekt? Man risikerer vel bare at gøre sig endnu mindre forståelig, hvis man "modererer" sin udtale "den forkerte vej"? :)

[@knuthenriksommer4982]

Gnawer Shreth De fleste dialekter er mulig å forstå ganske greit for de fleste nordmenn. De som har en vanskelig forståelig dialekt velger som regel å gå i retning bokmål eller nynorsk "uttalt" når de opplever å ikke kunne kommunisere og ønsker å bli forstått av andre. Fonetiske detaljer er i den sammenheng ikke så viktig, men ligger nok nær Oslo-fonetikk uansett dialekt. Det finnes som sagt ingen konvensjon, men et ønske om å bli forstått og en erfaring med hva som vanskeliggjør det.

The problem is that the spoken versions are not mutually intelligible. Trondersk and East Norwegian/Bokmål are definitely not the same language in linguistic terms (they are more like Spanish and Portuguese), although they are perhaps perceived ideologically to be the same language because they are both "Norwegian".

[@benedictewrstad8379]

Shaun Vargas I had to Google this. So the definition I found tells me that variations of the same language spoken in the same country counts as dialects (London dialect), but variations in other country is called an accent (argentinian accent). Although in practical real life it seems like most english speakers use the word accent for everything. What we usually think is special in Norway is that we have some variations in every little village and town. There’s always some word or way to say something that the closest place would not use.

[@johanfagerstromjarlenfors]

In scandinavia we mostly use the word “dialect” to like... a variety of the standard language with its own vocabulary variations and sometimes grammatical etc.... and “accent” means like a local or regional pronunciation of the standard language. And “really”.... Norwegian is a dialect of “Scandinavian” cause like 90% of the vocabulary in the standard languages of Norway, Sweden and Denmark are the same (with some spelling difference).... so danish, swedish and Norwegian are more like dialect groups rather than own languages. And in these groups there are several dialect groups.... and so on and so on. The Norwegian part got the most distinctive dialects that can be so different you really can’t understand anything if you’re from another part of Norway. Second comes Swedish, but mostly this is cause some of the Swedish dialects are leftovers from times where these regions were under another crown. And also, people in sweden generally just speak with distinctive accents rather than dialects. And I think Danish is a quite united language with mostly accent differences except for the dialect on Bornholm.... In south sweden (Blekinge, Skåne, Halland) the dialects are like in the middle between danish and swedish. These regions were under danish crown until like 1680... but already before that the dialects of these regions were different from the danish standard language, they made a group of eastern danish dialect along with bornholm. But bornholm didn’t get swedish so they kept the danish vocabulary and have now been affected more of danish standard language and the easter danish dialects in south sweden have been affected of swedish vocabulary. But if i (from blekinge) would speak with distinctive dialect people from småland, västergötland and other parts of sweden probably wouldn’t understand much, but people from skåne and halland would cause much of our dialectal vocabulary is the same. But... a dane wouldn’t either get much of what we say.... and it’s about the same in northern sweden and around the Norwegian border that there the borders of Norwegian danish and swedish isn’t as clear as in the maps.... cause.... Norway, Denmark and Sweden are three different kingdoms and therefore they have three different standard languages.... but that’s just politics.... cause language is almost the same and when we go down to dialects.... there the borders between these Scandinavian languages disappear... And of course we don’t write in our dialects and accents.... or... we can use the standard language rules to write dialectal words... but we don’t mess with the spelling in words that mostly just pronounces different. I’m not allowed to write “Jaou” instead of “jag” or “peå” instead of “på” if I write in Swedish.... yea... if Blekingska would be an own language with its own writing rules and so I could but it’s not. And then we have the word “ild” (fire) in standard swedish “eld” and in danish “ild” so there... is it just a different pronouncing or is it an own word? Cause i can say ild if I just speak standard swedish with my accent cause that’s not so different.

Some dialect, like he's, have a very high tempo and strange symphonics. I wish you would remark on that in your dialect videos. The high tempo is what makes his dialect the hardest to understand for me as a fellow Norwegian. If you want to parody a Trønder, you don't even have to say any words, you can just 'sing their song,' it's very distinct.

What is the easiest way for an American to live in Norge? Should I fly over and just never leave :O?

[@theakanin4136]
