By the way, metric prefixes "femto" and "atto" (10^(-15) and 10^(-18)) came from these words "femten" and "atten".

[@SimpleNorwegian]

That's pretty cool! Makes it much easier to remember those prefixes now :D

[@aster965]

The reason why Norwegian does milliards and such is because they use the original numbering system. English once also used this, but it has since fallen out of use.

[@JonWonders]

Most language use numbers that way, English is just the odd one out.

excellent! just a request re the timing on the test: time how long it actually takes you to say the larger numbers and set the timer appropriately. the timer is shorter than your own verbal answer in some cases ❤

Heisann, whoever runs this channel! I have a question I hope you see. I am trying to learn Norwegian, and your video are a big help, but I'm having one problem: I forget everything! Nothing stays in my head, no pronunciation, no phrases, nothing! I even had to look through my notes to remember how to say Hi! So my question is this, how should I practice? Should I use flashcards or something? Tusen Takk!! :) Edit for misspelling a word in English.. maybe I am not ready to learn another language (just kidding)

[@SimpleNorwegian]

Repetition is an essential part of learning languages. Flashcards could be used for that purpose

[@orereo2328]

@@SimpleNorwegian Thanks! The test at the end really helped me learn the numbers and now I remember almost all of them! I will definitely make some flashcards for other lessons!

[@junglegirl5174]

Just use duolingo. U will repeat the words hundreds of times. They teach by the principle of "how the children learn a language", and that's by repeating the same thing over and over and over, until it gets naturally simple and "logical" to you. This channel, Simple Norwegian, helps me a lot, cause we r not kids, so it's much better (for me) when I see the structure, the "rules", and then, again: repeating, which duolingo does best! Any one can learn an extra language. If u learnt yours, u can learn as many as u put yourself into. But, keep in mind, u have to listen to the language, read it, speak it, repeat it. Otherwise it "goes to sleep", it's stored somewhere "in the back" of your brain and comes out again, when u r put among people who speak it. Im currently learning Norwegian, cause we want to go to Bergen to see as many fjords as possible, next August. But I've studied more than 15 languages by now and speak many of these fluently

Great video! And as an FYI, 1st, 2nd, 3rd are called ordinal numbers in English. Since ordinal numbers tell the position, then these are nummer?

[@barnaba_kicinski]

as a polish speaker im so happy that bilion in norsk is milliard and then billion for trillion. numbers i use only while talking about worth of huge companies. but still. my brain is so happy for being understood x

[@barnaba_kicinski]

just makes sense!

[@vetrubio13]

The difference between the English and Norwegian billion and milliard is because both languages use different scales. In English the short scale is used, while in Norwegian, French, Spanish and some other languages the long scale is used.

As for me, the counting system strongly resembles the English one, and not only in terms of its vocabulary

[@watchmakerful]

It's common for Germanic languages. Maybe even not only Germanic.

[@skylake7058]

@@watchmakerful yea, I know. But the matter was how much it's alike. And speaking of English and Norwegian, it seems the most similar from everything I've ever seen among the Germanic languages (despite the case when both of the compared languages are continental North Germanic).

I really love the way you explain, it is super clear and easy to understand. I want to ask that is your dialect from Oslo or Tronheim?

[@capitalh6490]

I think he speaks with a trønderlag dialect (trøndersk)

[@LinniC93]

To be more accurate, "et hus" means "a house", while "ett hus" means "one house". Notice that when you put emphasis on the number of houses being 1, you need to use the word "ett" with two t's! But to be fair, many Norwegians also get this wrong and mix up "et"/"ett". Edit: For "en" you can also add an accent above the e ("én") to put emphasis on the number one, e.g. "én million".

[@Muchoyo]

Enig med deg. Etter mitt skjønn blir det feil å blande inn ubestemt artikkel i en leksjon om tallord. Selv om det sikkert vil være nyttig å gjøre "elevene" oppmerksom på at det her er snakk om to forskjellige ting. Antakelig fort gjort å bli forvirret.

[@mishamc93]

Thanks for the awesome video. Do you have any tips to roll my R’s better? I find it difficult to pronounce “tretti” and “hundre”

[@jakubkacprzak4189]

Numbers from 21 to 100 are created like in Polish. For example 21 (dwadzieścia jeden) in Norwegian is 21 (tjue en).

[@doncarlodivargas5497]

Fun fact, earlier we said "en og tjue" or one and twenty, this was changed in 1956, but even young people still say numbers the old fashion way, from what I understand, the reason why we changed was the telephone, and the confusion it created to say numbers in the wrong order

Thank you! Very helpful on explaining the numbers

[@Muchoyo]

A couple of things worth mentioning if you don't mind, Hundreds between one thousand one hundred and one thousand nine hundred are, more often than not, expressed solely as a number of hundreds. Tolv hundre, tretten hundre and so on. As for years of the second millennium (except the first century, where it is forbidden) this is mandatory. Unless one skips the "hundre og" altogether and says, e.g "nitten nittini". At least when it is obvious that one is talking about a specific year.

17:18 SIMPLE NORWEGIAN CALLING US 'Swede'??!!😳😳🇸🇪🇳🇴

[@mingosutu]

billion, milliard, trillion in Norwegian are the same as in Brazil.

[@ActinOut]

Great outline. 7 and 20 are a bit confusingly close for me. 7 basically sounding like shoe and 20 like shoea, and very close spellings sju vs tjue. Was a bit tricky for me. The sj and tj seems like they have the same sounds. Initially my mind was going - wait, what, are those the same? Lol

[@SimpleNorwegian]

Yeah they are the same sounds, the only difference is the e at the end. Even Norwegians can accidentally mishear the wrong one when talking to each other, but keep in mind we have an alternate form for both 7(syv) and 20(tyve), which can help make communication more smooth :)

[@autumnday77b]

Not quite the same sound! "Tj" is probably a difficult sound for most foreigners, it's placed in the back of the mouth. It is also used in some words starting with "k": kino, kjerring. That said, there is a development in Norway of leaving that sound behind and just use "sj"/ "skj". So in some years time, yes, it will be the same sound!

[@manirakizajeanne3365]

Thanks

[@andolineso-oabes8332]

Tusen takk 😘❤💞💞

[@sydneyaustry493]

Only in english and in portuguese we see a billion as 1 followed by 9 zeros, but it depends from the country you are in... Examples: Brazil and USA

[@karatthedog6740]

In Polish we also have "bilion" as trillion and that system of counting (miliard, biliard, tryliard etc) And maybe in some countries they do the same🙃

[@annadupont7615]

It's the same in French!

[@Gilmaris]

This was an excellent introduction on Norwegian numbers. A correction about the number 1, however: En gutt, ei jente, et hus means *a* boy, *a* girl and *a* house respectively. If you want them to mean specifically _one_ boy, girl or house, it's: Én gutt (note the accent) Ei jente (ok, so there's no difference here) Ett hus Which means it is also _ett_ hundre, not "et" hundre. Unless you wish to number something as eg. "et hundretalls" - "about a hundred". Many Norwegians get this wrong, too, which annoys the hell out of me. Also, the v in "tolv" is not pronounced in standard Norwegian, but many dialects do pronounce it, and very markedly too. As for the multiples of 10: the order is optional, but the "German" style (eg. "one and twenty") is more old-fashioned. Still the preferred method in some dialects. When it comes to the 30s, however, it is always "tretti" if thirty comes first, but always "tredve" if thirty comes second. "Tretti-to" vs. "to-og-tredve". "Førti" is often abbreviated as "førr" if it's in the second position: "Fir'-og-førr" (44). As for large numbers (million, millard, billion, billiard, trillion, trilliard etc.), the reason why there's a discrepancy with the English is because English uses the short form of large numbers, and the European standard is the long form. By all rights, Britain should be using the long form as well, but for some reason they have adopted the American practice of using the short form. And just because: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZjOnJefeb56q9U

[@tomek3633]

btw in germany the "billion" is also 1 milliarde and the "trillion" is 1 billionen, same as "på norsk" :)

[@stclare58]

Tusen takk! Great videos

[@hartmutbohn]

What still confuses me: When is the G in "og" silent, and when is it pronounced? In numbers it seems to be always silent?!

The G is silent in the word «og», although, sometimes you do indeed hear the g.. but 98% of the time you won’t

30 has the alternative "tredve" also, and from 21 upwards there's the option of saying the small number first.. ex "jeg er to og tredve år gammel". Old fashioned maybe?

[@LinniC93]

Good point! Many Norwegians will say "to og tredve" instead of "tretti to" - but it's mostly the older generation(s) that say it that way, in my experience.
