What Norwegians Think About Denmark & Danes

Random strangers on the streets of Trondheim, Norway, tell us what they think about Denmark and Danes. First line is their spoken dialect, second line is the equivalent in Bokmål.

[@jenat82]

I'd say there was a HUGE difference in the Norwegian spoken in just this video. Some almost sounded like Danish people trying to speak Norwegian, whereas others sounded more like Swedes trying to speak Norwegian. The former being much easier to understand for a Dane of course. Southern Norway and Denmark seem to be closer and Norwegians feel more connected to Sweden the further North you get. All the way at the top I would guess they think of Finns as their best buddies. Norway is a LONG fucking country. lol

[@markmedka1342]

Dane here✋ I work with Norwegians and speak with them daily. For me it is key importance that we speak our own language and do not swicht in to english. If you just open your ears and your mindset it is not that hard. We spell almost the same way - we just pronunce the word differently (bokmål og dansk). I know for the vast majority of Danes that we adore and love our brother country to the north. You do not find a people more common to Danes than Norwegian. That is my experience. And dont get me started on Sweden...😉

[@flameofazazel598]

Yes, I am a Dane and feel the same way about Norway. I think Norwegians don't like us because Danish is unique and historical reasons.

[@flameofazazel598]

@Brian SandbergI find that a lot of people don't hate Sweden, but like Norway and Iceland more. Obviously this depends on personal opinions.

It's true that danes can sometimes joke about horrible things, but it's never meant to hurt people's feelings or because the people condone horrible acts in any way etc. It's meant to diffuse a tense, dark, grim or depressing situation, sometimes it's better than to get too worked up, furious or unbearably sad. It's called "galgehumor" or "gallow humor" :)

[@TellusJD]

In the beginning you might need to switch mode in your perception of the words, but it really doesnt take long for a person either from Denmark or Norway to be able to understand each other perfectly. You just have to get over the surprise of the pronunciation on words and then it becomes familiar.

[@danielpetersen7856]

I find it interesting that some of the Norwegians have this myth that Denmark "took away" Greenland and the Faroe islands from them, when in reality it was just the Swedes who took Norway from Denmark *except* for Greenland and the Faroe islands. We didn't take it, we just kept it.

[@abcabcboy]

But still it would be more natural for these territories to be under Norwegian control, since they were settled by Norwegians and were originally part of the Norwegian Kingdom, not the Danish. They are only Danish, because Norway has never made a serious claim for them after independence.

[@Thetarget1]

@@abcabcboy Norway has made a serious claim actually, but was stopped by the US applying the Monroe doctrine. Look up the history of the Sirius patrol for example, it is quite interesting.

[@meadish]

@@aularound Helt klart. Förutom att Jämtland och Härjedalen länge hörde till Norge, och att Trondheim var en viktig vallfärdsort för svenskar i kristen tid så verkar det också som om de första nordisktalande förhistoriska invandrarna i nuvarande svenska Norrland till största delen bestod av folk som korsade Kölen från Norgehållet. Det verkar ha varit mer begränsad kontakt i förhistorisk tid mellan Mälardalen och Norrland på grund av de stora och förmodligen svårgenomträngliga skogarna norr om Uppsalaslätten. Många av runstenarna i mellersta och södra Norrland är också på gammalvästnordiska, till skillnad från runstenarna i Mälardalen som främst är gammalöstnordiska. Det verkar också som att några norska vikingar tog sig ner från Trondheimssidan och stannade till i Södra Norrland innan de reste i Österled.

I think Denmark is a lot like The Netherlands, in every way. Small and flat countries ... and the people of both countries are very open and friendly, bicycle culture and their languages ​​have a guttural sound. On the other hand, Norway and Sweden are very similar to each other ... they are colder and more arrogant people, their languages ​​have a melodic sound and they have mountains (mostly Norway), lakes and forests.

[@TorbenL1965]

Dane here 🙂 Very interesting. I consider the Scandinavian countries to be closely connected and I have a sense that we are the same and would defend each other against problems from Russia, EU, US and others, including Finland (Suomi) and Iceland. We have lots of problematic history in relation to each other, but in the greater context, we are pretty similar. At any time, I would prefer going on holiday in either Norway, Sweden, Finland, Iceland, Faroe Islands, Greenland than anywhere else. I would feel sure to meet a culture that I understand and like 😊❤

[@tata-ng2ko]

What I’ve noticed from seeing some videos from norway or scandinavian countries in general is that people really don’t pay attention to their appearance. Not trying to be rude or say they are ugly or anything but it’s just that effortless look overall, it’s much different than here in the balkans where girls literally dress up to go to the market

[@Heretogasunu]

Normal people don't give a fuck about how they seem to other humans

[@linajurgensen4698]

Okay but Balkans is really extreme.

[@WeldingForJesus]

Zdravo! 😉 The bigger question is: why would we? It's just going out to buy something in most cases and as long as you do not stink or look completely disgusting so to scare off other customers, the merchants won't care. There is this saying here: "Hel & ren", which would translate to "Whole & clean" that sums up an acceptable appearance.

My family immigrated to America from Norway generations ago to escape blights and famine in the mid 1800s. For generations since, we’re still told stories about how Danes were apparently just the coolest people on Earth and how Norway wasn’t that bad under Danish rule. Imagine a group of people so cool that descendants of those they ruled are still told tales of how cool said people are. ...on a side note, the stories we’re still told of the Swedes are less flattering.

I am from Costa Rica, I lived in Denmark in 2017, being Latino it is a culture shock to arrive in a country like Denmark where people are so reserved and closed to new people, but even so, and although in the video they say that the Danes are more open, all the Norwegians I have met either in Denmark or Costa Rica, they have been much more open than the average dane, but maybe because they were in another country, who knows if they will be more closed in their own country!! Also, even after living in DK for a year i still think danish is so difficult to understand haha

Its aboute that Sweden got its revenge after the Stockholm massacre, The Danes beheaded 100 men on the square in Stockholm, when Sweden wanted to leave the union.You lost Skåne and Norway and that still hurts obviously.You are a little bit childish. The only people that i have heard saying they hate danes are people from Skåne and they used to be danes. But i have lived in Norway for a couple of years and had a great time, i have also spend a lot of time in Denmark and it was great. But Norwegians are more frendly and polite than danes. I am from a place close to the Norwegian border and i have norwegian relatives and many Swedish dialects are close related to norwegian and our folk music to. Danes sems very intrested aboute to be a brother to Norway. But Denmark are much more similar to Holland or Germany. The Norwegians that prefer Denmark sems to be from Oslo, and thats becouse the people from Gothenburg and the Swedish westcoast arent intrested aboute norway. Its easy to have good relations to Norway, But if Norway was at the other side of öresund and your neigbour you would have the same problems becouse Danes are more rude than Norwegians and Swedes. Its a part of your culture. You can be rude withoute thinking in another way.
