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.

[@DavidsDiana]

Love these videos for both me (I’d say I am at intermediate level but need a refresher) and for my husband who is an absolute beginner and the way you enunciate is very helpful. I get also confused sometimes as my norsk family speak trønder norsk.

Lol I did horrible when it came to the mini test. I've only been studying Norsk for a week or so and progress is really slow. I'm still practicing pronouncing the letters correctly and constantly reviewing phrases but I feel like I should already be past that. Oh well, guess it just takes time

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

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.

[@barnaba_kicinski]

just makes sense!

[@shoshananeni]

Tusen takk! ❄

[@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.

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🙃

It's the same in French!

[@babysulu7704]

You are the best teacher🧡 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

[@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.

[@samuelloredo6945]

Tusen takk! 🙌🏻💯💕

[@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

[@mariconsciencia139]

omg i’m here again and i’m so nostalgic

[@aboyborninjune]

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.

[@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

[@tenpotkan7051]

Most languages go like million, milliard, billion, billiard, trillion, trilliard etc. but English for some reason ditched the "-lliard" and goes like million, billion, trillion, quadrillion, pentillion, sextillion etc. I have no idea why English does this. Maybe they do it because they think that it makes recognising a giant number's name easier. The digits in big numbers are usually divided into groups of 3, so in the english system you just count the groups, subtract one, translate it into Latin and stick a -llion on the end.

[@summeroflove394]

Why do we pronounce 20 "Tjue" as "Shoo-a"? Based on your alphabet video, there is no special condition for T to sound like sh when it is followed by a "j". Can you elaborate or am I missing something?

[@SimpleNorwegian]

Just an exception. There’s also a place called Tjuvholmen in Oslo which has the same pronunciation. But other than that I haven’t seen it anywhere else

So how do we tell the difference between 7 sje and 20 tjue?

[@SimpleNorwegian]

Sju and tjue are very similar unfortunately, the difference in the actual pronunciation is the e at the end. Also, some people choose to say tyve instead of tjue (I don’t remember if I included tyve in the video but it’s an alternative to tjue when saying 20)

[@Ettibridget]

Hvor er den gamle tællemåde? Bruges den ikke mere?

[@SimpleNorwegian]

Brukes av enkelte. Selv syns jeg det er ueffektiv kommunikasjon og kan skape forvirring.. ville ikke hatt noe imot om det forsvant fullstendig

[@Ettibridget]

I så fald var det Sverre Tønnesen og Stortinget der skabte forvirringen. Man kan ikke lovgive om hvordan folk skal udtrykke sig. Og argumentet med at bytte rundt på tierne og enerne for telegrafvæsenets skyld, kan i hvert fald ikke bruges mere. Tallene er som de er. Som du sikkert ved, har Danmark et unikt tællesystem, og man må antage at Danmark fik telefon og telegraf samtidig med Norge. Jeg har aldrig hørt at de danske tal skulle have givet anledning til problemer. Og i dag er numrene jo oppe på otte cifre ...

[@lavendergilly5843]

Why is it sometimes million and other times millioner ?

[@SimpleNorwegian]

The -er suffix signifies plurality, so it’s 1 million, but 2 millioner

These million, milliard billion thing is part of the "long scale unit" which is way more logical than the one the US use, called the "short scale" (US is sadly far from being a reference in term of scales and numbers).
