NORWEGIAN SLANG!

[@TheMrkeineahnung]

When you were saying a whole sentence, I was like: "Hæ?"

[@ihascakes]

HAHAHAHHA

[@ysteinsagen8752]

Sunny liker videne dine

[@ronin9043]

Hæ?

[@11ingen76]

Hahahahah

[@Ok-pq5ro]

hva?

[@hns_203]

A thing about Norwegian is that it's almost hard to understand it in a sentence, that is why we use "Hæ" all the time.

[@basicw1tch]

Hæ? Ich understandisch nicht xD

[@bellaporter3185]

Særlig er det vanskelig når man skarrer; da jeg bevisst meg norsk av Duolingo, lærte jeg kun bokmål og østnorsk, så det var ganske vanskelig å forstå folk i år da bodde jeg i Oslo. Men jeg bodde sammen med to fyr fra Bergen så nå si jeg «ka» i stedet for «hva»

[@thotbot6952]

wow!!! you normally speak English with a really cute accent but now your even more cute when you speak Norwegian 😍

[@ihascakes]

[@AlexBerish]

yo I'm actually learning Norwegian right now so this is hype. Are these mostly understood in all the regions of Norway, or some just a particular dialect?

[@Mdx]

ehm people don't really say serr or lætis in like the north of norway i think

[@Mdx]

***** ur right

[@tiriltrseth2045]

most of the youth and younger people understand it, but it is most used in the Eastern Norway. except for serr, that is used all over, just like liksom

[@Zapp4rn]

both "sigg" and "alkis" are used in sweden so i guess they would be understood in all regions of norway

[@Momo-re9nh]

your eyes 😢😢😍

[@future4you]

I keep falling into her eyes.

[@gms9608]

Actually, Norwegian influenced English (Actually Old Norse, which is the same btw). The Norwegian words commonly come from Proto-Germanic (A dead language) or Norse.

[@gms9608]

P.S: Do a video trying to speak Finnish!! (or Albanian... or Ukrainian)

[@pellementmaker]

Well, english is a west germanic language...so naturally there are similarities to other germanic languages...and over the years with trade, culture exchange, and travel the languages have influenced each other. Also english is heavily influence by romance languages, old norse and north germanic not so much i believe.

[@StuArch1]

Old English is the same as Old Norse, and old english is very different to middle and modern english as it had 4 case systems like in German

[@TheMarkmcr]

@sploofmonkey it's a mix of old norse, Latin, and french. Not sure if there are other influences though. I believe old norse is actually closer to Icelandic than anything else

[@TheMarkmcr]

@sploofmonkey thanks!:-)

[@loke1555]

@@Bekltuvanetko It was a white man who invented the guitar. It was a white man who invented the electric guitar ti was les paul a white man. And Black matal is so far away from blouse as it is possible to get.

[@Floral_Green]

Al Kindi Abu Yosef Stale meme, Abdul - a boomer-tier talking point nowadays. Blacks in the South adapted Scots-Irish/British folk music to their own sensibilities, producing various subsets of Blues music (which also was never uniquely black, mind you). As was mentioned: whites created the instruments, the musical theory, and ultimately, the legacy of popular music as it exists today in the Western world. Implying that blacks are somehow entirely responsible for the existence of not only Rock music, but something as innately racially European in character as Black Metal, is beyond fallacious. That said, black Americans are responsible for (among other styles) the inception of Jazz, which is more than enough to be proud of.

[@bobbymcgowan2705]

[@cuddlingteddybears]

I believe English is required or at least taught in most countries

[@HansYuan]

Younger Norwegians tend to have no problem. They grow up watching TV and movies from the U.S. and U.K. with the original audio and Norwegian subtitles (sometimes not even that), so in comparison to European countries likes Spain or France where English media is dubbed over with the native language, the younger (relatively speaking) Norwegians, say 45 and under, tend to be quite fluent.

[@MyouKyuubi]

@@HansYuan Indeed, me, for instance, i actually speak and write English better than Norwegian, and i've lived in Norway my entire life... I'm a gamer though, so that may have a lot to do with it. :P

[@troystuart8870]

the other day my friend asked me " Norwegian.... shes from norwega....(i was describing sunnys' channel) and i looked at him said.... Umm Norway, I should have hit him with the "are you on drugs" slang phrase... but my friends not as dumb as that mad him sound. We laughed for like a minute straight after that. Its a stereotype that americans dont know anything about other countries and its a kinda true with some people. They teach basically nothing about Norway in school and if your not interested in the cultures of other countries you never find anything out about them... Thats definitely a stereotype that is true about A LOT of Americans...Awesome channel Sunny.. you always put a smile on my face : )

Next time i'm going to Norway, i'll go in a Bank and say "Hey, i want 100k $, gimme a Sigg here" If they don't give it to me and i keep provoking them, they might call the police, after they arrive i'll just say, i just wanted a SIGG, you know cigarette? :D

[@tubybubi]

SIGG are swiss drinking bottles made of aluminium. ;-)

[@Oddme100]

Fill a water gun with cod liver oil and go into the bank holding the gun visible and say "Dette er tran" which means "this is cod liver oil". It may get mistaken for "Dette er et ran" which means "this is a robbery", but it's not your fault if people misunderstand you. right...? Seriously though, I heard someone actually did it during their "russ celebration", but the police really didn't like it. :P

[@dolganthecute]

Many of the slang words you mentioned are mostly used in eastern Norway around Oslo. Other parts have their own slang words.

Norway is proof that God cannot possibly exist. How can one country have everything? Beautiful people, great wealth, no poverty, the best fish, a low population and general overall well being. :|

[@varunnerurkar9418]

What exactly is a future economic crisis? Your entire population is educated, not merely literate, but educated. In fact, the majority of your society has reached secondary and tertiary level education. Also, I'm fairly certain that your country was rich before the discovery of its oil. To say nothing of the natural beauty, fertile valleys, an abundance of fish, geographical isolation from war and the superior build quality of its people. I mean look at you guys. 6 feet tall, strong and well built. It's just not fair. Sheesh!

[@JT-hm1rf]

Norway was big in shipping before the oil wealth, and of course the country was hit hard in war times at sea, but not much damage domestically. True that Norway don't have big industries through big mass producing companies. But Norway have pretty cheap labor when it comes to high end engineers. Much of the industry in Norway is based on very specially designed installations that need high engineering skills and is expensive. Things you as a normal citizen probably did not know exist, because it's not part of your daily consumer goods. This Norwegian industrial segment is of course not very forceful in the big world as there is only 5 million Norwegians. But it is highly renowned. And Norway is big on exports of high end weapons, so good for Norway that someone is wasting their money on it.

I had to show this to a Norwegian friend. He said it was spot on for words used by the younger crowd in Oslo these days. I'll stick with struggling to master German for awhile longer though I think. I much enjoyed your speaking German videos. It was interesting though that you had very little trouble with German umlaut pronunciation versus, say, us Americans trying to learn German. Does the concept of umlauts exist in the Norwegian language too? Anyway, Sunny, you're a very pretty young lady, your eyes are absolutely amazing.

[@thereallucifer666]
