Norsk og tysk er faktisk veldig likt, mange ord er ganske like og grammatikken er nesten likedan, er nok bedre å sammenligne svensk og tysk, men norsk er ikke langt ifra, har tatt tysk-kurs i 4 år, så er ikke helt fersk
@tronder911 hææ. Norsk er i nord germansk språk gruppe det at den er på en annen gren sier litt om språk forskjellen, det er altfor lang tid med språkforskjellen.
@WolfieboyMachi Om vi er! Men nynorsk er ikke renere enn bokmål, eller kanskje det er renere, men bokmål er et språk alle forstår, mens nynorsk er et språk det faktisk er folk som har vanskeligheter med å forstå.
@lysseremoni23 Ved å si det har du fort gjort det selv til en arrogant liten dritt. Bare fordi jeg er en jerk, betyr det ikke at alle Oslofolk er det. twat
@lysseremoni23 Du skal få ha din egen mening om Oslofolk, om du velger å slå alle under en kam eller ikke. Anders Breivik slo alle under en kam. Det er ikke noe man skal gjøre.
@boxershortser Haha, Oslo the dialect is not "clean" bokmål, its a dialect! If you want "clean" bokmål, go to Finnmark. Btw, bokmål is a written language not a spoken language, so nobody speaks bokmål, but the closest is the Finnmark dialect.
And also, the Oslo dialect sounds like shit is flowing out of your mouth.
@KaizerOle Ok, so it seems that I'm not aloud to talk shit about the dialect she chose to learn, but you guys can say whatever the fuck you want about my dialect. I think the Oslo dialect is the most practical to learn because it's the dialect that is spoken by most people in Norway. 1/10 of Norway speaks Oslo dialect.
I coulden't help notice you kept saying "æ" heter Catrin. Your speaking with a certain Norwegian dialect here(Jærsk kanskje?). The correct pronunciation here if your trying to speak "bokmål" is; "jeg heter Catrin" ^^
I speak Norwegian and at first it isn't hard but the completely learn it is complicated. There are 2 types of Norwegian, Nynorsk and bokmal. But the A in bokmal has a circle over it
Kommen deiner Eltern aus Deutschland? If not, the warum haben sie Deutsch sprachen? I'm not german, I'm Scottish and irish (with norse roots of norway and Denmark) So are you german of ancestry or blood or did you just take in in High school and college?
@squrtonme Jeg veit. Det var ment som en spøk. Man møter ikke en Østlandsk, men en i så fall en østlandsk person. Bokmål blir mer skriftform slik jeg ser det. Man snakker radikal bokmåls dialekt i Oslo, men det er få som prater helt etter boka. Dialektene vil variere i det uendelige avhengig hvordan man strekker opp lokale grenser. Jeg snakker annerledes enn de som bor 1km unna har jeg merket. Men det er stadig østlandsk.
@podivan22 Yeah, um, sure, the grammar could be similar... But as a Norwegian trying to read German and understand what they say when they speak, it's pretty much like reading and hearing any other foreign language I don't know, like turkish, spanish, or japanese. I don't understand a thing.
thats not true at all.Im german and i can understand a lot of danish conversations(which is very close to norwegian) even better than dutch.so your claim about " listening or reading german sounds like a foreign language" is totally incorrect
@akb48musume2001 Du-ah, it's true. I am Norwegian. Don't try and tell me what I can understand and what I can't, and say that my opinions are wrong. That's like telling a Muslim that Allah's not real. And when it comes to Danish and Norwegian, they aren't all that similar either. Half of the time I don't understand a single thing Danish people are saying. So shut the hell up and go eat a cookie.
You are speaking North-Norwegian very well. And the other 5% in Norway speaks Lappish. Men det er kult at du faktisk gidder å prøve og snakke norsk og tysk og har ikke samme uttale, på norsk heter du: Katrine.
Akkuratt som det er hele 5% som snakker samisk. Alle samer snakker norsk, så godt som. Når de skal på joiketur, er det mulig de snakker samisk. Musling --> muslim.
@WanderingRover actually norway have been been among the top 3 wealthiest countries per capita in the world for several years..and we dont have some oil, we have ALOT of oil:P
Some deutch words are pretty similar to norwegian, but thats not many. Liek.. I am norwegian, but i'm NOT able to read and understand any fully deutch sentences. Non of us can :P An the pronounces are way too different as well.
i think norwegian and german is pretty similar. im in middle school in norway (ungdomskole in norwegian.) and i have german on school. and i understand alot of the words we learn, like before the teacher translate them cause they are pretty similar
Not bad at all, considering you've never learnt the pronunciation. You seem intelligent, and instead of just saying it with an American accent you made an educated guess using a Germanic language that you do know to help you - impressive!
The way you pronounce the word for 'I' makes it sound like you're speaking the dialect they speak in Trondheim - is this the dialect you were aiming for? You said Æ rather than 'Jeg'. Nothing wrong with that at all though!
A slight correction; The Sami where here before the norwegian state was created, and per deffenition are "NATIVES".(Like native americans). And the kingdom of Norway aknowleges the Sami as NATIVES. Proof of this is that they have something called (translated) The Sami Council (SÁMIRÁĐĐI/Samerådet). Meaning they have a own governing body. (Wich is under norwegian law, and rule no less. [in norway] And under swedish/finnish/russian law in their territory.)
Very good! Fun to see someone try to pull of Norwegian. Too bad there's such diversity in dialects around here that we can hardly understand each other from south to north, or west to east. And even more so, we have two written languages that are very different.
And as people comment below here, the Sami people is not (or: no longer) regarded as native people from Norway, rather than descendant nomads from the northern parts of Norway, Sweden, Finland and so on.
The dialect you're speaking is the dialect we are speaking in the northern part of Norway. When you're saying what in English means "I", you're saying "æ", or "ae". The most common dialect are the one they speak in Oslo, the capital of Norway. That dialect is called "Bokmål". Therefor saying "æ" is wrong when you're supposed to learn Norwegian. What would have been normal is saying "jeg", or "hjay".
yes its from the germanic language"branch" of the "language three" but this guy is speaking a dialect. really redneck dialect. say it like "Mitt navn er Catrin" with a sharp R like when you say.... brrap :) that b(rr)ap sound is what you need in catrin (Well almost, didnt find a better example in the minute and a half it took me to write this. I ll post a better one if I get one - and bother finding the video again
In norway, we have new-norwegian, bergen-dialect, trondheim-dialect, South(sørlands)-dialect and so on. We have so many freaking dialects, it's unbelieveable xD
You speak in the dialect I speak, lol. I live in mid, norway, maybe I'll see you there, lol.
Btw - you had the words right - you should make more videos of yourself trying to speak norweagian :DIf you come here you should try to speak to us, we are very 'reserved' people that mostly keep to tourselves, but talk to us and we'll talk back to you - and not in a bad way :D
Norway has only 5 million inhabitants and English is quickly replacing the norwegian language. Plus, no one would want to visit or live in norway since the norwegian people are the most unfriendly people in the world and norway has winter 8 months out of the year. Spend your time on learning another language because norwegian would be a total waste of your time.
lol! what a douchebag! we don't have winter 8 months/YR. I wonder where you're from ? ;P btw Norway, is the wealthiest country in the world ;) You're pretty much just jealous of our sovereignty! hahaha ;P
i agree with you..Norway is a very nice country..I am a Filipina living here in Norway for 5 months and from that time i really love to stay here although i admit that Philippines has a very nice climate compared to Norway but the experiences that i have here in Norway can never be experience in my home country
Yeah, that seems about right. With your knowlledge of English and German, you should have be able to convert a fair bit of your vocabulary into Norwegian/Danish/Swedish.
@gregboyds THAT IS SO NOT TRUE! Norway is a great country and norwegian people are really nice! Im not from norway but i spend every summer there, and it's not that cold.. Besides learning languages is fun!
@gregboyds I dont agree that we are unfriendly. Maybe we can seem a bit cold, maybe we are different from you, and you feel a bit ignored because of that - but this is just because we dont want to bother anyone. Talk to us, and you will see a different side. On the other hand, most of us cant stand it if people start being bossy. Some tourists do this, and they are not really doing themselves a favor. Just act like a normal person, thats all. Btw most of us speak at least one foreign language.
@gregboyds 1. Norwegian is not being replaced by english. Sure the majority of the norwegian people can speak english, but it's not being replaced. 2. We are not unfriendly, talk to us and you would find out. 3. It is not winter 8 months of the year. I mean BE SERIOUS! We actually have warm summers. 4.The Norwegian language is one of the easiest languages to learn for a English person.
5. IT IS CALLED KNOWING BEFORE POSTING, YOU SHOULD TRY IT!
@Luredreier It's actually very easy to learn, considering the fact that we don't dub English-speaking media. The Norwegian culture is also heavily influenced by western culture and trends. If there's any excuse for a Norwegian to not be able to understand English, it's because he or she had no interest in learning the language, whatsoever. In fact, you'd have to be a hermit if you don't understand basic English. Norwegian adolescents who don't speak English get bullied.
Sami people are considered as their own people, they have their own little "government" and some other rules. Norwegian cant be related to Sami because its a different culture and language. and the northern part of norway now werent norway back then, so thats why "norwegians" came to norway first.
@Greatnessgrowontrees Yes they're their own people and they where first to large parts of Norway.
The reason that Norway is named Norway and not Sápmi is that when the nordic people first arrived in Norway they started pushing away the Sami people as they encountered them.
Well, that's one version of the story anyway...
They might have been partly assimilated too perhaps.
Whatever the reason the people now called the Sami people arrived first.
I live in Norway by the way incase you're wondering.
We don't have a high norwegian as such, we don't even have an official standard.
But there is sort of an de facto standard that is used when teaching new people to the language or when talking to someone with an dialect different enough to make it impossible to understand them (a rare case). Usually when talking to other norwegians we use our own dialect, perhaps with some of the hardest to understand dialect words replaced by the "standard".
You speak English very well, so what I say isn't a bash against you, just some tips to further improve. Never end a sentence with a preposition, (but, like, by, etc...), and if it has a vowel sound, you would use "an" instead of a. example: a chair, a good night, a cool shirt, an art show, an amazing race, an honor mark, etc...I usually like it when people correct me like that when I try speaking German so I thought I'd share some knowledge with you:) though it's just youtube :D
This is usually a good rule, but not to be fanatically adhered to. (<- yes, I did that on purpose.) Like Churchill said, "this is the sort of language up with which I will not put!"
Yeah. I say if it wasn't for German's obsession with "der, die, das, etc..." (genders and forms of who included) it would probably be one of the most logical languages. English however, is a pile of shit, which I freely admit as a native English speaker.
@1Sky1 "Der, die, das, die," "den, die, das, die," "des, der, des, der"... That's how much I remember from German class. I could never work my mind around their correct application, however, but that's because I've never been forced to use German in any noticeable degree. I can still read German, though, and understand spoken German if it's slow enough. A big difference between German/English and Scandinavian languages is the definite article: Scandinavian languages use suffixes instead.
Street signs you'd probably be good on...but with the different dialects (VERY different) it'd depend on which part you visited, because my family is from Oslo, and I can barely understand people from Bergen...and well...the way you're saying Jeg heter Catrin is definitely not how I would pronounce it. But it's very interesting! =) What got you interested in Norwegian/Norway?
Ha en fin dag!! ;-) Oh, & Norwegian is similar to Danish, too!
Æ, E, I, Jeg and Eg is all different variants in the Norwegian language. "Æ" is used north, "E" is upper-southwest, "I" is middle-southwest and center-south, "jeg" is used south-east and "eg" is used south-west.
It's a very rough description of where we say what.
I'm from the west-side of Norway, so I say "Eg", but where I live they say "Æ" like in this video.
@majaolsenh That is called a sociolect. But you are right! I live on Andøya now, and they too say "Eg". But I didn't take the sociolects in concern, that would be way to detailed, and way to much work.
I am a norwegian, trolololololl

Very good! Fun to see someone try to pull of Norwegian. Too bad there's such diversity in dialects around here that we can hardly understand each other from south to north, or west to east. And even more so, we have two written languages that are very different.
And as people comment below here, the Sami people is not (or: no longer) regarded as native people from Norway, rather than descendant nomads from the northern parts of Norway, Sweden, Finland and so on.

The dialect you're speaking is the dialect we are speaking in the northern part of Norway. When you're saying what in English means "I", you're saying "æ", or "ae". The most common dialect are the one they speak in Oslo, the capital of Norway. That dialect is called "Bokmål". Therefor saying "æ" is wrong when you're supposed to learn Norwegian. What would have been normal is saying "jeg", or "hjay".

You speak in the dialect I speak, lol. I live in mid, norway, maybe I'll see you there, lol.
Btw - you had the words right - you should make more videos of yourself trying to speak norweagian :DIf you come here you should try to speak to us, we are very 'reserved' people that mostly keep to tourselves, but talk to us and we'll talk back to you - and not in a bad way :D

THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO REASON TO LEARN NORWEGIAN.
Norway has only 5 million inhabitants and English is quickly replacing the norwegian language. Plus, no one would want to visit or live in norway since the norwegian people are the most unfriendly people in the world and norway has winter 8 months out of the year. Spend your time on learning another language because norwegian would be a total waste of your time.

@zaber89 Understand, it's not that Norwegians have winter 8 months a year, it's just that what they call 'Summer' feels like Winter for other people.

justroosa 1 year ago
@gregboyds I dont agree that we are unfriendly. Maybe we can seem a bit cold, maybe we are different from you, and you feel a bit ignored because of that - but this is just because we dont want to bother anyone. Talk to us, and you will see a different side. On the other hand, most of us cant stand it if people start being bossy. Some tourists do this, and they are not really doing themselves a favor. Just act like a normal person, thats all. Btw most of us speak at least one foreign language.

@gregboyds 1. Norwegian is not being replaced by english. Sure the majority of the norwegian people can speak english, but it's not being replaced. 2. We are not unfriendly, talk to us and you would find out. 3. It is not winter 8 months of the year. I mean BE SERIOUS! We actually have warm summers. 4.The Norwegian language is one of the easiest languages to learn for a English person.
5. IT IS CALLED KNOWING BEFORE POSTING, YOU SHOULD TRY IT!

@TheMissCathrin I agree with all of that post except the "easiest to learn" bit...
Although there's a lot of nordic influence on english it's still a damned hard language to learn... :-/
Luredreier 1 year ago
@Luredreier It's actually very easy to learn, considering the fact that we don't dub English-speaking media. The Norwegian culture is also heavily influenced by western culture and trends. If there's any excuse for a Norwegian to not be able to understand English, it's because he or she had no interest in learning the language, whatsoever. In fact, you'd have to be a hermit if you don't understand basic English. Norwegian adolescents who don't speak English get bullied.

@Damnorwegian The sami people did come first to parts of norway, the question is what parts as that is still up for debate.
Luredreier 1 year ago
@Luredreier
Sami people are considered as their own people, they have their own little "government" and some other rules. Norwegian cant be related to Sami because its a different culture and language. and the northern part of norway now werent norway back then, so thats why "norwegians" came to norway first.
Greatnessgrowontrees 1 year ago
@Greatnessgrowontrees Yes they're their own people and they where first to large parts of Norway.
The reason that Norway is named Norway and not Sápmi is that when the nordic people first arrived in Norway they started pushing away the Sami people as they encountered them.
Well, that's one version of the story anyway...
They might have been partly assimilated too perhaps.
Whatever the reason the people now called the Sami people arrived first.
I live in Norway by the way incase you're wondering.
Luredreier 1 year ago
We don't have a high norwegian as such, we don't even have an official standard.
But there is sort of an de facto standard that is used when teaching new people to the language or when talking to someone with an dialect different enough to make it impossible to understand them (a rare case). Usually when talking to other norwegians we use our own dialect, perhaps with some of the hardest to understand dialect words replaced by the "standard".
Luredreier 1 year ago
@Luredreier
You speak English very well, so what I say isn't a bash against you, just some tips to further improve. Never end a sentence with a preposition, (but, like, by, etc...), and if it has a vowel sound, you would use "an" instead of a. example: a chair, a good night, a cool shirt, an art show, an amazing race, an honor mark, etc...I usually like it when people correct me like that when I try speaking German so I thought I'd share some knowledge with you:) though it's just youtube :D

@1Sky1 Thanks for the though :-)
I don't aim at getting a perfect english though.
For me it's a tool to communicate and that's my goal, not perfection or really anything close.
And for the record, you haven't seen me speaking english, just writing it ;-)
My accent is rather heavy I've heard...
Luredreier 1 year ago
@1Sky1 "Never end a sentence with a preposition"
This is usually a good rule, but not to be fanatically adhered to. (<- yes, I did that on purpose.) Like Churchill said, "this is the sort of language up with which I will not put!"

@Gilmaris
Yeah. I say if it wasn't for German's obsession with "der, die, das, etc..." (genders and forms of who included) it would probably be one of the most logical languages. English however, is a pile of shit, which I freely admit as a native English speaker.
1Sky1 8 months ago
@1Sky1 "Der, die, das, die," "den, die, das, die," "des, der, des, der"... That's how much I remember from German class. I could never work my mind around their correct application, however, but that's because I've never been forced to use German in any noticeable degree. I can still read German, though, and understand spoken German if it's slow enough. A big difference between German/English and Scandinavian languages is the definite article: Scandinavian languages use suffixes instead.
Gilmaris 8 months ago
@Gilmaris
about the same here. germany brags about the logic in their language, yet have ten different words for the forms of "who" we have in english.

Street signs you'd probably be good on...but with the different dialects (VERY different) it'd depend on which part you visited, because my family is from Oslo, and I can barely understand people from Bergen...and well...the way you're saying Jeg heter Catrin is definitely not how I would pronounce it. But it's very interesting! =) What got you interested in Norwegian/Norway?

Æ, E, I, Jeg and Eg is all different variants in the Norwegian language. "Æ" is used north, "E" is upper-southwest, "I" is middle-southwest and center-south, "jeg" is used south-east and "eg" is used south-west.
It's a very rough description of where we say what.
I'm from the west-side of Norway, so I say "Eg", but where I live they say "Æ" like in this video.
