When I grew up in the 80s in Norway I still heard a lot of negative stuff about Germans. The legacy of WWII took a long time to heal. But I have been very positively impressed with Germans that I have met myself. Very polite, proper, decent and helpful people. I think a lot of us Norwegians get very surprised when being around Germans for a while just how similar they are to us. I think the legacy of WWII made a lot of us think Germany was like this totally different planet and we aligned ourselves more strongly with the British and Americans. But the truth is that Americans and Brits are much more different from us in mentality and how society works than Germany. I think the key differences between Norwegians and Germans are: - Germans care a lot more about hierarchy and titles. Norwegians have almost a disdain for hierarchy and titles and prefer flat power structures. Norwegians think people should be addressed the same way by first name whomever they are. Learning German in school I notice how different it is having to deal with grammar related to politeness and formalism. - Germans are more structured and hard working. Norwegians are more chill, and I think tend to wing it more. Making detailed plans. Writing down what you are going to do in an agenda, is more of a German thing I think. - I notice e.g. German super market are a lot more efficient than Norwegian ones. But they are also kind of rigid. Norwegians I think are a bit more pragmatic and will simply ignore rules they think are in the way for a smooth operation. E.g. in Germany I experienced a whole line held up while I had to dig up a 5 euro cent for an extra plastic bag. That would never happen in Norway. The cashier would deem the cent not worth holding up the line for. - Germans are well organized. When playing computer games I like being on teams with Germans. They have a structured plan and ideas about what everybody should do to win. And while there is this stereotype about Nazis, Germans are very friendly in this kind of cooperation. I find that e.g. Americans and Brits are more likely to get pissed off about losing and passing around blame, rather than come up with a constructive plan. - Germans are strangely both more liberal and more conservative than Norwegians. Like in Germany you could have a beer at 16, and things like prostitution and drugs seem much more liberal. OTOH Norwegians are more keen to use new technology, having women in higher positions etc.
@Dutbrothers4 жыл бұрын
Thanks for your nice comment. The only point i would add something on, is that drugs especially weed is in some federal state an absolut taboo like in bavaria. The Police there is really hard when it comes to weed or other drugs. It is better to drive a car after 2-3 "Maß" than rather smoke a Joint in Bavaria, the fine you will get is much lower. In Berlin or Cologne it is a whole different story when it comes to sanctions on weed consume. But i think my comment is a german thing too. You did a nice job, but a german will find a thing to criticize. This is what the German society is about 🤣

As an American with family roots all over northwest Europe, I appreciate this kind of comprehensive discussion about Germany from a Norwegian point of view. Many years have passed since my Norwegian ancestors emigrated from Europe to Minnesota and I have no more direct contact with Norway, but my German ancestors of more recent vintage never lost touch with us except during the war years, and I visit them and they visit me often. Your views of Germans are quite measured and fair, as are mine. On the other hand, we must never forget history, especially as it may even now impact our lives as in the close call we Americans just had within what was until now considered a progressive society that emphasized, as you put it, "passing around blame." That is one of the weaknesses of the American experiment with constructing a truly multi-ethnic, multi-lingual, multi-racial new nation. It is often through conflict rather than consilience that long-lasting institutions find, ultimately, common ground. Ole Rølvåg was someone who, although overtly a pessimist, wrote about that process.

Us Germans really adore the Norsk countries, especially Norway and Sweden. To hear that they like us too really felt good. I would love it if our country would have stronger ties. A lot of your progressive politics and culture would be much needed over here. Also your nature is very stunning as well as your prices. The first in a good way, the second more in a tazer gun way ;)

I have to say: I don't know anything about Norway except they should be similar to us, Germans, as the northern European countries are. But after this video I'm very impressed of these people. I'm even curious enough to want to go there for a holiday. These Norwegians don't have these platitudes too ready to be offered. Like this: "The Germans are rude or boring". The last teenager did say it but she is young, it's understandable. I've seen so many videos with people to be asked on the streets about Germany, so many of them did sound like records of the same stereotypes.They are saying stereotypes without thinking on their own. But not these Norwegians. These people are thinking, really thinking about what their own opinion is. And they also say "I know too little to know properly". Very appealing. The way how they act express much what the Norwegians may be. And now I'm curious about this country.

I have been in Norway maybe 16 months ago. In one cafe in Trondheim I read a small book „The social guidebook to Norway“. Was funny as hell as I have experienced much of those descriptions during my vacation. Just recommend that book if you plan any trip to Norway. Myself I never had any negative thought when it comes to Norwegians. Germans show quite different characters depending where they are from. In my experience quite big differences between some regions.

I‘m German and have to say that I realized that that, the Norwegian language doesn’t sound a lot different to German if it’s spoken naturally. I have to admit that we use to have kinds of people that are often a lot louder then the rest😅. But it doesn’t sound any more angry than English or Norwegian. THAT is a typical stereotype.

@@rdmname same as German, Norwegian Danish, Swedish and Luxembourg from the Proto Germanic language. Its routes are in the frisic dialect same as the dialect Germans have spoken (only few still do) in the German regions north of the Netherlands. As Kid I still had to learn ("Plattdeutsch") the dialect spoken in Hamburg and was able to understand some Dutch. Dutch and German (talking about high German here) seperated back in the 14th century when the Dutch did not adapt the second change of consonants. The Scandinavian dialects and the Germanic dialect separated much earlier into own languages. Old English is also a language that came from the frisic dialect of the Anglo-Saxonies with more latin influence coming from the Normans later. German today has as much in comon with the dialects back in the 13. century as Dutch. So Dutch is not a originating from German both are originating from the same rootes

Actually, I do agree there is not anything nice to say about our past, but we are trying and I am happy and surprised that it seems to work. I also want to give back the compliment I’ve been to Norway once (yes with a camper! ) and it was very interesting, loved the amazing churches, the fjords, the sun not setting, only it seemed a bit cold to me, that was in 1986. So Danke and it is true all Norwegian people I met were friendly.

Quite interesting that some people in the clip thought Norwegians and Germans have similar working behaviour. Actually having worked with both of them I find Norwegians really relaxed while they are at work, trying not to be overwhelmed by the job they are carrying on. If they have a break f.e. from 10:50 to 11:20 they might be starting at 10:45 and come back at 11:25. If they can they always smile. At least this is the experience I had (I have worked with STATOIL). Germans are quite the opposite: strict, stubborn and obsessed with timetables and smiling while working is usually not an option. Nice clip!

That it has nice people, that they talk a bit funny since the language is similar to ours and that the people in the end are very similar to us too. But a video about what Norwegians think of NL would be nice.

I am German and have been to Norway three years ago. One thing that was very obvious to me during that trip: the Norwegians are far more relaxed than the Germans. That`s no wonder. Norway and Germany have about the same size, but as there are about 6 million people living in Norway, there are about 83 million people in Germany. The population here is so dense, that you are automatically more stressed. A cliche I have in mind is: The Norwegians drink even more alcohol than the Germans, they just don`t confess it.

Greetings from Berlin! I find this video cute because I grew up in Trondheim. That footage is not from November 2020, that is for sure... I think also you have been very selective with the responses. No one brought up kinky sexual practices, for example. Admittedly, most Norwegians are too shy or polite and avoid confrontational or non-mainstream topics as much as possible. I would claim it is common knowledge, if you have spent any time in either of the countries, that Germans and Norwegians have a thing for each other, especially Germans for Norwegians or Norway in general. This goes way back historically, and is not particularly kinky because the two countries share a lot of cultural and linguistic elements historically. Just think about what the common breakfast is in both countries, they are like twins.
