WOW Facts From Norway - Yourway2Norway

[@badjujuwan]

Am I the only one laughing hysterically that we're having a knowledge session in a public toilet using the wall as a classroom board? Imagine the looks they got when they finally left the toilet - 30+ minutes later - with camera equipment and a pink handbag. LOL

No, I suspect quite a few of us love their witty approach. :) Have a look at their "Norwegian supermarket" video. I lost control of my lungs with all the laughter and my bladder too! I love the way Meds (?) interrupts the filming to tut at the thought of trying a different flavour! "Gasp!"

[@cathyg2905]

You're so cute 😂😂😂😂 so animated. I've learned a lot from you guys about Norway.

[@buckaroobonsaitree7488]

Love your videos! I'm half Norwegian. My great grandmother Inga Pederson emigrated from Norway around 1910 at 14 years old. She used to ski to get her mail, was the hardest working woman I've ever known, best cook in the world, and lived to the age of 102. Her mind was as sharp as a tack until about 95. The first sign of any memory issues was when she forgot she salted the soup and we had very salty soup that night 😀

[@StarkeyLaurel]

Tor from Nor More to the point - flight of the manufacturers and highly paid jobs. At least that’s the Cleveland version of the story. Of course it would help if we had winning sports teams. Look how much money LeBron and the Indians have pumped into downtown. There was a reason his insanely large poster of him with outstretched arms in Public Square looked like it should have an altar. Our Good Friday was when he left for Miami and our Easter when he returned. He’s ascended now to California but it’s ok because for a brief while we were champions. We still have the Browns.

[@JACKDAWFISH]

Other countries used in "American" english : "Going Dutch" means splitting the bill 50/50, "Dutch Courage" means cowardly or you're only brave when you're drunk, "Scotch" means frugal or cheap and "Turning Japanese" means one is turning gay. We also use the expression, "It's all Greek to me" which means you can't understand someone or something as though the other person was speaking a foreign language. "Pardon my French" you say before or after you use a swear word, "Mexican standoff" means when 2 groups of people can't agree upon what to do next, "Chinese whispers" refers to information that came from gossip or isn't true, and "a Young Turk" is a wild person sort of like how Norwegians use Texas. That's all I can think of...

[@tkps]

We use a few of those in Australia. 'It's all Greek to me' is one we use a lot and I catch myself saying 'pardon my French' when I swear.

[@mygirldarby]

Turning Japanese doesn't mean turning gay. It is a song by the Vapors and it means self pleasure. I've never heard the phrase outside of the song.

[@Zandanga]

We also have a saying called Russian Racehorse. You see, when you are very old and your bladder sends an urgent COMMAND, you must go to the ladies room very quickly because you have become like a Russian Racehorse. When you are old your bladder, whose name is She Who Must Be Obeyed, is like your Boss. I promise you ...

[@gojewla]

I have never heard of turning Japanese, but yes about going Greek.

[@knaajo]

We also have the expression "it's all Greek to me" in Norwegian.

[@carlahunt2512]

In America we have a saying “Pardon my French.” You say this before or after you use a curse word or obscenity. I am unsure of the background of the saying, but surely it implies that the French are in some way more vulgar which is ridiculous. Lol

[@czarzenana5125]

You also have the expression 'going dutch'

[@carlahunt2512]

Yes we do! I don’t have a clue on the reason for that one.

[@MrBlaxjax]

@@carlahunt2512 from the 17th century. England was often at war with the Dutch. So some slightly uncomplementary expressions relate to the Dutch. 'Going Dutch' = share the bill, implying lack of generosity. 'Dutch courage' = needing to drink alcohol to gain courage implying cowardice. Double Dutch =speaking some incomprehensible language. (Holland used to be ridiculously powerful and would usually beat the English BTW)

[@comraderieco]

Its used sarcastically, just like Dutch noted by others. All things French are considered fancy. So pardon my French is sarcastic acknowledgement that the language youre using is really low or coarse.

"Helt Texas" that's really interesting. In Mexico we say something like that about Guatemala. "Mala" can mean "bad" in Spanish so we say "We're going from Guate-bad to Guate-worse'". Don't mean to offend Guatemalans, though, lovely country.

I remember people saying "you have to go clear to Timbuktu" or "we live so far out in the country, the nearest hospital is in Timbuktu" - meaning an overlong distance. (I'm in the USA). There's another expression I learned when I moved to New York: "going by way of Canarsie", meaning going the long way around. Canarsie is a neighborhood in Brooklyn. Why that expression, I have no clue. But I know what it means. Love the idea of equating Texas with wild and crazy. :D Ahaha - the marching band drawing. At first I thought you were drawing bar stools. Well, of course, the 2nd favorite pastime is drinking! But, nope, looks like...fishing!. Nope...submarining? Well, there are all those offshore rigs, so maybe. Ah, marching band - of course! :D LOL - up to the end, I thought you were going to say Norway's biggest export was water. But, yes, the rats.

So.. like a total Norwegian I’ve been spending this whole day at my phone, enjoying your videos. Lurking, secretly liking peoples comments and also doing a bit of commenting myself. But one thing i have yet to do, is to openly appreciate the time, effort, quality and humor in your videos. (I realize this might be the norwegian part of me) Needless to say, a Norwegian would normally comment something like «i am from Norway», but they would seldom thank anyone for any norwegian content (haha). And if they did, they’d probably tell u about what is incorrect, or maybe add facts.. haha.. Might i be wrong on this?? Anyways, as for the «non-wegian» part of me , i sincerely thank you for putting into words what i have needed to hear for such a long time (across the board. I bingewatched almost all the vids) The self irony served in such a sweet and open manner. It makes me LOVE the things that i used to barely tolerate. And i recognize myself in a lot of vids too, in a way where i want to change, and where i dont feel like i have been criticized or forced into changing! Thanks a lot! Totally appreciated!!

The video would be one of our beginner bands, maybe 3rd, 4th & 5th grades. 6th, 7th & 8th grade would be band or orchestra. By 9th thru 12th grades (High School) they may stay as part of the orchestra or move to Jazz band. High school also had Marching band and they play outside a lot of the time. Football games, marching in parades. Google "Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade" and you will see High School & College (University) bands playing. They have flag corps and cheerleaders. Watch the movie Drumline. I think you guys would enjoy that. For all the kids who disliked band, watch the movie Stomp. It's all music/percussion, but without instruments.

Love your channel and your videos! So informative and entertaining. Great dry sense of humour that matches our Canadian sensibilities perfectly. Much love from Toronto, Canada! 🇨🇦

And some of the lower North American humour. We are not all stupid and glad to see the same oldies act in virtually movies. Somebody send Ronald to Hollywood. Mads, too (background).

I hope you both washed your hands very well after being in there and touching everything. YUCCK!

People always told me I was strange. Come to find out my mother's grandparents came to the U.S. from Norway 100 years ago, so I'm 1/8th Norwegian. That explains SO much!

[@bobo-wf1jv]

We often use phrase "Ta det med ro" at closing of our written greetings and we don't even live in Norway 😎

[@YOURWAY2NORWAY]

That is really a WOW fact and so cool to here. Where do you live, Minnesota?

[@bobo-wf1jv]

Wisconsin .. and we also celebrate May 17, with parades .. they close main streets for a massive parade .. and beauty pageants "Queen Contests" and lefse and flat bread and rommegrot. The women dress in Bunad and the men in red vests and black pants with high socks .. and yes, we also have high school choral concert at that time and I was in choir and know Ja, vi elsker dette landet by memory since childhood. Yes, my grandparents and parents spoke fluent Norwegian and my neighbors, Norwegian was their preferred language, and still is .. English only used occasionally in a few homes. When I grew up here in Wisconsin, the name of church I attended was Norwegian Lutheran. My Grandmother on my Dad's side was from Skreia, she came over on sailing ship as young girl .. long ago. All of my other Grandparents were born here in USA, but their parents all came from Norway. Some from Telemark region. My last name .. Olson. thanks for great videos .. ta det med ro.

[@bobo-wf1jv]

I almost forgot .. each Christmas my family still has Lutefisk .. along with homemade lefse made on wood fired stove .. and rice soup and we do drive long distance to get the perfect ingredients for that special meal. ty Cheers! from southwest Wisconsin.

[@jolenehedstrom8221]

[@Skald99]

*Video begins* Roland is sitting on the toilet smiling menancingly with the wall covered in marker drawings/writing Me:Weird flex but ok

[@esmeraldagreen1992]

My kids did marching band and orchestra of their own free will, but the family concerts were more often than not painful to bear. I see your point about parents.

[@dwivvc]

Hey Ronald I hear Norway has a lot of bureaucracy is that true?

[@YOURWAY2NORWAY]

Yes, we probably do have a lot. But not so high on corruption..

[@dwivvc]

@@YOURWAY2NORWAY Thank you for replying I love your videos guys!

[@knaajo]

It depends on which country you compare it with and which sector (private, public etc.). In general I think it would be far less than in Russia, less than Italy and probably less than in the UK.

[@dwivvc]

@@knaajo Yeah I currently live in the UK I wanted to move to norway but it just seems quite difficult especially when you're broke lol

[@selinaboyd1806]

I love you guys!! I can't stop laughing and learning at the same time...
