We have 3 extra letters in Norwegian, namely Æ Ø and Å. They are not A or O's with an accent, they are actual letters. Å is pronounced like your O in the word "bored", Ø is pronounced as your I in "girl", Æ is pronounced as your A in the word "bad". You can use "Hei" and "Hadet" in any setting, so those are the most normal ways to say hi and bye.

Se-ne-re. You roll your tongue on the R, like an Italian 😝 You can also say it with a typical French R. It depends on the dialect 😊

Directly translated it says: Hi on you, but it means hello to you

saying Ø is a type of O is like saying Q is a type of O. you are doing great BTW it is never too late to learn a new language, the more you practice new languages, the more your brain adapts to learning languages, the longer you go without learning a new language the more it reverts. nether of the changes are permanent

A lot of her words are dialectic words native to her region of the country. Everyone on Norway would understand it, but it's obvious Oslo area.

When you say "hi" in English it sounds like the word "hai" in Norwegian and that means shark. You pronounce the Norwegian "hei" just like the English word "hay". Easy!

I was laughing my ass off to this video. Your reaction to "hei hei" was great. Like you said, there's lots of nuances with these things, so for Norwegians this is very funny. There's also large differences between dialects, regions, towns etc. And then you have informal, and then actual slang on top of that. You'll get very far with "Hei" and "Hade" (goodbye) tho. Perhaps it's also easy to remember the Germanic version(s), like Hallo (or similar) is typically used in several countries with Germanic languages. "Adjø" is obviously derived from adieu and similar, which is originally French I believe. Anyway, there's a bunch of ways. And very often the mood of the person, atmosphere and formality levels kinda decide the appropriate greeting. "Hei hei" is a more informal, happier version of "Hei", most of the time, but not always - depends on tone. As a 27 year old man I've heard maybe ~3-4 non-natives in my entire life that could've passed as natives in terms of language. Essentially almost nobody gets it perfect unless they moved here at a very young age. I once met a Dutch man that had lived here for 8 years and it took me a good ~15 minutes of listening to him before I picked up small things that would indicate that he's not a native speaker. And generally I find that the Dutch picks it up quicker than most. French people will sound French even if they moved here at age 5 and has spoken Norwegian for 30 years. You would perhaps assume that Swedes or Danes could pass by "undetected" since the languages are so similar, but that's also the problem. They don't have to think in a different way and don't need to kinda "switch into x language mode", so it's very hard for them to get rid of their habits. When it comes to picking up the language so that you can be understood 99% of the time tho, it's fairly quick. Perhaps because of all the different dialects and language influences we have we have a pretty good ear for picking up words, tones etc. that doesn't sound like what you're used to. We've got lots of eastern Europeans working and living here, and most of them make themselves understood completely fine after 2-3 years. And if in doubt, just switch to English. If you have aspirations of picking up the language like a native, especially when including dialects, that's a very tall order and I would recommend that you're a bit more realistic.

«Hei på deg» can basically be translated to «hi to you». Never heard anyone use it for bye/when they’re prating ways. And yes, O’s are pronounced like that 😂 and yes, you can say hei only once instead of twice, really no difference. I’m 27 and still really hear people my parents age say «hei hei» instead of hei. Most of them would only be “hey/hi/hello”, not necessarily special circumstances. You can use “hei” as goodbye, yes, but it’s old, same as adjø/adieu, also old. We often say “sees” as see you (later), or “snakes” as talk to you later

Saying some words twice is very typical in Swedish and Norwegian (and Danish?): "Hej hej" (hey hey) "Tack Tack" (Thanks thanks) "Morrn morrn" (morning morning) "ja ja" (yes yes) "nej nej/nä nä" (no no). "jo jo". It basically expressed as one word. These spellings are in Swedish.

I know 14 languages, I'm learning my 15th language now. I already know Norwegian since i'm from Norway, but it's always funny to watch other people trying to learn your language. To be honest I think you're doing pretty good pronunciation wise compared to a lot of people trying to learn our language.

This was really fun to watch as a Norwegian! As always, thanks for the videos, so fun watching you learn new stuff! ☆

When writing the special Norwegian caracters with english caracter set you need to write aa=å ae=æ oe=ø. You could see it a lot during winter olympics when Bjørn Dæhlie was winning a lot and on the screen they called him Bjoern Daelie. Now that internet is common it's more common to just use a singel o instead of an ø. You could also use the Swedish ø that is written ö and their for of æ is ä , å is the same. Norwegian is more like danish in writing, but we sound more like swedish in the east of Norway, but in the very south they sound more dannish and we also tend to call the people "spare danes" like for fun (for us in the east, not for them). Norwegians understand eachother even though we sound like we speak different languages. I can not understand Sognamål (dialect in Sogndal) and as a kid I had difficulties understanding people from Haugesund and Stavanger and Bergen, but my two best friends came from Bergen and Haugesund so I learned after a while. By the time we was in 3. Grade they also spoke like me, but could still say things like "boss" to garbage and "disse" to a swing (the on you use on a playground).

A little tip for Tyler and others is to use 'Google translate'. As Swedes, we google 'Google översätt'. There we can enter words, copy texts from the internet and have them translated into the language we want. AND Tyler, there you can also click on the speaker icon and you will hear what it sounds like when someone speaks what you wanted translated. Also, don't forget that if you speak comprehensible Norwegian, you will be understood in both Sweden and Denmark. The languages are different but most things are usually the same. Good luck.

"Hei hei" is typically a cheery, bubbly way to say "hei". You'll typically hear as a customer from cashiers, baristas, and so on!

"Hei, hei!" is a pretty playful way to stay formal. I like to use it when I'm writing a message to my boss asking for my work hours, or to my friends when I'm telling what I've done since we last meet.

I'm not sure why google would claim "hei på deg" is more used as farewells., I've never even heard of anyone doing that. Perhaps some parts of the country do. "Hei" or "hei hei" can both be used as farewells, though it is not all that common among younger people, as she mentioned. As for "hei på deg", I would say it's more used as a greeting to express surprise at a chance encounter. It can be used normally as well, though it would be more playful, maybe. I'm not really sure why "på" (on) came to be used for this, but if I had to guess, I'd say it comes from how we use that preposition together with "å møte" (to meet). "Å møte" on its own means the exact same as in English, but "å møte på", to meet on someone (sounds strange in English, obviously), would specifically mean you met them by chance. From this perspective, that preposition has a feeling of suddenness. Might even be a short form of saying "Hei, tenk at jeg møtte på deg her!", (Hi, to think I would meet you here! (literally: "Hi, think that I met on you here!")) Just my own random conjecture, though, I have no idea of the exact etymology behind "hei på deg". If anyone does know, please let me know, I'm now curious.

"Takk for sist" is one of the best greetings in any language. It generally means "thank you for last (time)" as in, it was nice spending time/meeting you last time we met. What makes it awesome it has no time limit whatsoever. 3 days since you met at a party? "Takk for sist", uncle you have not met for 12 years? You guessed it: "Takk for sist". It is extremely practical when meeting someone you cannot remember when you interacted with last time, you just know them to a social degree. It is not a greeting used for someone you don't socially interact with on some level. It is semi formal. It works in most settings among equals. I would not say it to the king.

"Mårna"/"Morna" is short form for "I morgen da"/"God morgen da". (tomorrow then/good morrow then). Essentially wishing you a good morning in advance. Thus it is a "goodbye".

As a Norwegian. I find you videos very fun to watch. I feel like i'm watching a ballgame where the one with the ball runs and twists thorugh to the endzone. guess the goal point would be more understanding of your self.

Hello, american viewers. I'm a norwegian person from Oslo, Norway. I know a lot about the norwegian language. Norwegian is my native tongue(which is the first language i have learned as a kid).

I really like watching your flicks, great entertainment, and very exciting to hear what other nationals think about our language and customs.

She focused mostly on pronounciations, but you asked when to use these... Hope this clarifies a bit. The tl;dr or summary if you like: Professionally you will say something like "God morgen/ettermiddag/aften" (slang: go' morn') or "Hei" when you meet, and "Takk for nå/meg" or "Vi sees" (see you later) when you leave. If you accept a phone call from someone professionally you could say "Hallo, du snakker med " (Hello, you are talking to ), and typically "Ha det" or "Vi snakkes" (we'll talk later) when you hang up. With friends you will say "Hei" or "Hei hei" when you meet, and some variant of "hadet" or "ha det " when you leave. Other social situations or moods can make the other greetings feel appropriate as well. ---- The longer story about these variants: One thing that is relevant here is that scandinavians tend to be not very formal towards one another. Unlike many other languages where you have formal and informal variants and they are kind of strictly "policed", that is less so in our languages and less so in norwegian than swedish and danish. "Hei" or "Heisann" (slightly less formal, kinda like a Heya) is used both formally and informally. I think "hei hei" is more informal as a greeting, but I have also seen "hei" and "hei hei" used as a departure. "Mårna" (for departures) is slang for "Morn" which again is slang for "Morgen", which is short for "God morgen" probably? Norwegians correct me here. :) But yeah, some greetings work for both greetings and departures. The word "Hallo" is more of a phone greeting actually, more used in phone conversations. Alternatively, in both polite and casual settings you can say "God morgen" (literally Good morning) or "God ettermiddag" (means good afternoon, lit. "good after-mid-day), "God aften" (lit good evening) or "God natt" (lit good night). In terms of saying good byes, "Ha det" (lit "Have it") is short from for "Ha det bra" (have it well, a way of saying "wish you well"). It can be used both with friends or professionally, though I hear many norwegians, especially older generation use the fuller form "Ha det bra" to be polite. You say it could be one and you'll often hear it contracted, as in said like one word "Hadet", especially on the phone. In the business or professional world "På gjensyn" (lit On next sight), "Takk for nå" (thank you for this occasion), "Takk for meg" (lit thank you for (admitting/entertaining) me), or more often "Vi sees" (we'll see each other (again)), "Vi høres (igjen)" (we'll hear from each other (again). Adjø is a loan word from french "adieu" and is typically said when you expect that you won't see each other again for some time. "Farvel" (contraction of "far vel", lit fare well) is also a sober expression for not seeing someone again in a long while or ever, typically said by the person who is staying to those who are travelling away, wishing them a good journey. But it is also used in funerals.

You should try Norwegian in Duolingo. Would be fun to see how you do.

for a normal norwegian who opts to go the academic way and finish high school, there is 11 years of mandatory english classes, and 13 if you choose it. There is also 5 years of either spanish, french, or german.

A good friend of mine is currently learning Norwegian, I can tell you he's quite frustrated over exceptions in grammar and pronunciations. One of his favourites was, Brød & Brødet, as he can't hear the -e at the end. I'd say the closest to "What's up" would probably one of the slangs "Hva skjer?","Skjera?", "Står til?" or "Åssen går'e?" Funny enough, a lot of the English words you use, originates from the Norse, like the word: Are (You are) Here's a list for those interested: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_English_words_of_Old_Norse_origin If you struggle with certain words, the issue is generally always the tongue placement, most of the letters take usage of tongue's movement, many of them collide with the top of the mouth. Like "D" you push your tongue-tip towards the top of your top teeth, same goes with "T" while "S" you need to have it between bottom and top teeth, almost as if you are trying to whistle. "R" you need your tongue curled slightly pointing up to the top with the tip connected to the top but points partially forward to the teeth, while you push out some extra air out. I tried to explain it as well as I could.

As a norwegian this was very entertaining. I see you got a lot of tips in other comments so I am just going to say that I am impressed by your pronounciation.

Your "snakkes" sounds so danish its fun :D

Modern English is based on German, French, and Scandinavian languages. Norwegian is possibly the easiest language for a native English speaker to learn. While the pronunciation and grammar may be slightly different, a lot of English words are very similar to Norwegian words. The Norwegian language also has fewer words in total.

Omg i was laughing so hard when you tried to say «ha det and using that Google voice😂 sounded almost like korean to me😂😂 really funny but also good try and keep it up!

All the hellos in this vid all depends on the person, situation and how you feel when you say it. Lots of them are short for the more longer version: Hade/ ha det or ha det bra is all short for ha det bra = Bay, have a good day. Snakkes, Sees/Vi sees = talk later, see you later Hei, hei på deg and Halla (which mostly men says) = hello, hello to you. I'm not gonna go trough it all, cause she does it very well i think. But yeah. It's lots of versions and variants.

About your comment on Ha det and making your own words. Actually, in Norwegian and Germanic languages you do make your own words by putting them together as one. So for instance in English you would say: micro transactions. Here we say mikrotransaksjoner. You say Santa Claus, but if we said Jule Nissen instead of Julenissen that would be considered an error in word division and take on a whole different meaning.

It almost sounds english in a lot of ways because a lot of english words that we use today came into existence through the interactions between the people of the British Isles and its neighbouring countries ie Norway, Denmark, Sweden, France etc

Some of these are highly regional. Noone will say "Halla" outside of the east part of Norway unless it is to make fun of easterners. Mårn is mostly also like that.

Lot of old Norse/Norwegian words used in English today. Check this out: kzread.info/dash/bejne/dJOK2sOjh7ytXZc.html

Plz do more language 🤗

there is also "talas" which is just a different word for "snakkes" (Talk) but some say, like my self "talas" instead of "snakkes", due to my dialect which is usually said by people from "Toten" which is the area close to Gjøvik, Lena area (eastern part of Norway) (Gjøvik and Lena is places in Norway, like Oslo) if there is a video about norwegian places and their names you should watch and react to that also "Hadet" is actually 1 word, we (at least I do) only say it as two words when something I must have like: Ha det (have it) like: "Jeg må ha det" (I must have it) or "Han/hun har det" (She/he has it) the meaning can become different if you write or say it as 2 words if it's used in 2 words it's more like "Ha det bra" (which is the same as saying: bye, be fine - or take care - or stay safe) (I've always written "hade" like that, so it feels more natural for me)

also if you find Norwegian names interesting, why not watch a video about Norwegian names, like the one by Simple Norwegian)

7:56 _"Why is it two words? That sounds like it could be one."_ Oh you're gonna love Norway! 😁 If a thing is one thing, then the word is also one word (with no spacing) regardless of how many subwords comprise it. "Subwords"? Oh, my bad. It's "sub words" or "sub-words" in English. LOL Edit: She writes it wrong. When meaning goodbye, you write "hadet", not "ha det". "Ha det bra" is correct, though. But with friends I almost exclusively say "takk for nå" (thanks for now) and then "vi ses" (/vi sees) (we (will see each other again)) (I can't think of an English equivalent to "sees" or "ses") (edit: "seeya") If I'm in a hurry, it's just "ses" or "takk for nå, ses!" Greeting with my friends is "halla" and "skjer?" ('sup?). If it's a particularly happy greeting with someone I know it's "Hallaaaa!" and "åssen går'e?!" (how are you?!) (the correct literal form is "hvordan går det"; "åssen" is sociolect for "hvordan" and "går'e" is just the contracted and phonetical form of "går det") "hvordan går det" literally means "how is it walking?" but I think exclusively as a greeting it does not have this meaning. You are not wondering how it's possible for something to walk, you are asking how a person (not an "it") is doing. (like in English, "how are you doing" doesn't literally make sense. Doing what? How is what person doing what?)

The best "Hei på deg" I've heard from a foreigner :D Our consonants are not like english ones, I think it's very hard for you to speak norwegian. I've never met someone that has learned norwegian as a second language, that can pass as being Norwegian.

Re "Snakkes" and "Snakkes senere". Snakkes is an odd word with murky etymology. We used to use "Tales" - which is directly related to "Talk". "Vi tales". "Tale" is still in use but only as "Tale" (holding a speech) - or "tale" (it is speech). E.g. "Han holdt en tale" (he held a speech). And "tale gjennkjenning" (speech recognition). Also related to the English word "tale" and "telling". Notice how I used "speech" in the translation....and not any variation of "talk"!! It MAY be that "speech" and "snakke" is etymologically related!

this was fun for a norwegian

Hei på deg litteral translation would be hello on you, but the way we use it would be as "hello there" or "hey there"

I write " hadet" . Always did👍😉

You're really going into this norwegian thing huh?😊 Are you going to norway any time soon or what? Anyway, I love watching your videos! Keep 'em coming😊

only me that didn't realize that "hadet bra" meant have it good, i was just too used to say hadet bra that i didn¨t think about what it meant.

I think you're thinking of the French word adieu when reading and pronouncing adjø (almost same spelling and pronunciations and means the same too)

Yes, you need to say the o like that in Norwegian, that is our "o", lol

Hi big fan here! im norwegian so FAEN.

Haha. I realy enjoyd this video. You need to lerarn more Norwegian.

3:40 no it's not an accent xD it's a slang ... you could say, or a synonym for hey / hei

I would love to teach you Norwegian, Tyler :)

You can say Hei for hello and ha det for bye and takk is thanks

You should react to Kollektivet's music video EØÅ! Very entertaining, and it'll help you learn the three letters : D

7:55 "why is it 2 words?; that sound like it could be one word" 8:06 "why is it 2 words? we'd make it one" you have no idea how I laughed when I heard those parts the norwegian language is well known for merging words together (just like german, it is a feature of the germanic language family) for example you have this word "Dampskipsundervannsstyrkeprøvemaskinerikonstruksjonsvanskeligheter" which refer /translate to the "difficulties of constructing underwater strength testing equipment for steamships", in principle you could have a word that have several millions of word inside of itself, the only real limit is death by asphyxiation, death by age or falling asleep (so yes technically if you run for example the whole of the norwegian translations of lord of the rings saga and harry potter into a program like grep and remove all punctuations, spaces, arabic numerals & other characters that are not letters then that would be a legit norwegian word, of course most people would ask you to stop taking drugs if you showed them the "word" but technically it is a a legit word) also I am not sure if you already know this but the phrase "hei på deg" got a G sound that is like the G in gold (my english teacher actually used hei på deg as a way to teach the G in gold). 15:55 the only time you can't learn another language is when the heart stop pumping, or dementia have claimed your mind, I have spoken to some old 60/70's year old guys that is learning languages just look at steve kaufmann (aka lingosteve) he was born in 1945 and he is still working with languages, language learning is (in my opinion) a wonderful activity (I am currently picking up japanese just because I am fascinated with their music scene, although the manga and anime is cool too so that is even more motivation).

There is a core difference between a Nordic greeting and a 'Murican greeting: In essence, the Nordics wish each other a "Good Morning" or a "Good Day" when they meet. Period. Inquiring about someone's mood or health comes only if there is an apparent reason (runny nose, a person in tears), and instead of a "How are you", a "What is the problem, can I help?" is more likely.
