After Scots and Frisian, Norwegian is the closet language to English. It would take a native speaker of English probably 6 months to learn the language at a conversational level if forced to speak it. Since Norwegian is so close to English , and English is the default international language, most Norwegians are fluent in English and would just speak English to a foreigner. Norwegians and Swedes speak the best English of anyone not Native to English speaking countries, from my experience, because of the similarity to English and their education system.

interesting video ! One of my best friends is norwegian and we both grew up in seoul and America but she explained to me that dating culture is different in Norway. I am a bit surprised the people here did not explain more how you hook up a few times and then a relationship can develop from there. To me that’s the only part of Norway i am uncomfortable with, only because i am extremely shy and i couldn’t give that to my partner unless i was 💯 comfortable with them and i have to know them very well first of all. I’m also just hesistant bc I come from two cultures where STD’s are feared and honestly, I would not like that 😂The bit about American media was funny. American dating in itself makes no sense.

I'm Norwegian, and I also don't like do do anything like a hookup unless I'm 100% comfortable with the person. You just have to be upfront with that, and people will respect you :) if they don't, then they're not someone you'd want to spend your time with. It's very chill when you date, it's kinda like going out for coffee with a friend, and you just get to know each other like you're 2 friends, and then later on, if you want to see each other again, you can do something more date-like(but very chill! Not a restaurant). You just have to clarify that you are looking for a relationship, that you want to get to know a person, and that you aren't comfortable with sex early on like other people may be comfortable with. I'm like that, and people respect that. You don't have to go that route that includes such things. One just have to specify that so that others will understand. And then it will be easier for you. And you'll just have to find a person that wants the same. You don't have to do anything that you're not comfortable with doing just because others go that route :)

I’m shy, I don’t approach people, even when they look my way. My friends tell me dating apps are just for quicker relationships (not my thing), and I don’t drink which my friends told me is the (only) way Norwegian guys will talk to you outside of apps. Also, although I have many friends in Norway, they seem to have 0 single guy friends, and so there’s that. Not mad about it, it’s just funny actually, makes me wonder why people always act so surprised when I tell them I’m single in Norway.

If you're not too shy, Scandinavian men are open to being approached and aren't so traditional when it comes to that, if that doesn't matter to you.

Norway, very nice country. Fortunalety i have lucky enough to visit there one time. So, I high recommend it to you!

There are a lot of gentlemen on the dating sites , except of some " Mr. not so right " ( scammers ) . Girls might find it very difficult for them to pick whom would be best for them . So the simplest and easiest way might be to find someone socially in reality instead of picking all or no one ....😆

Living here for almost 5 years now and I can say that the dating culture in Norway is a little bit different than the rest of the world. Just because you hooked up doesn't mean you are dating & dating starts backwards that is why dating apps are so popular. You start with physical intimacy first, afterwards, if you find out that you are both interested in same things then you can decide to go on a date/dinner/coffee and start to get to know each other. That is why it is not uncommon to see (most young people) have multiple partners in both genders. But this does not apply of course to everyone.

😭😭 This is sooo sad. Everyone is so socially awkward, NEVER say you have an “American” style of dating.

Such an efficient language, they say so much so quickly with few words and those words are quite short. You can transmit ideas much more quickly. The smartest people I've ever known have been Scandinavians or had ancestors from those parts of the world. for most of history those people didn't have time to mess around and be slothful because winter was always a looming threat closing in, the smart and efficient were favored. Neat.

What is "remote" to you? I would keep out from the tiniest valleys if you want to be close to a city, yet if you find the right village you may be lucky and find friends for life 😊 Generally Northern (and Western?) Norwegians are considered most open and straightforward, but it depends on what you like. And sadly Northern (and some Western) parts of Norway are more isolated, so it may be more complicated to travel to central places.

"Jeg har veldig lite peiling". Sounds like the German "Ich habe keine Peilung" or "etwas (nicht) peilen", which more or less means "I don't know what's happening right now". It originates from piloting ships into harbours. When the pilot had no landmarks to orientate himself, he had "keine Peilung", ie couldn't find the direction where he should go. Seems fitting since the Hanseatic League played a big part in Norway's history as well, and both languages (Norwegian and German) seem to have influenced each other to a great extend because of that. EDIT: 10:28 I find it interesting that she says "tyveårene" and not "tjueårene". So... that means I won't stick out as a weirdo if I say "tyv" instead of "tjue"? I just find it way easier to pronounce "tyv" than "tjue", heh.

Very interesting to hear where our «har ikke peiling» expression comes from! Tyve/tjue can be interchanged without any issues, but I’d say tjue is more common, although it has the downside of being potentially misunderstood as sju

@@SimpleNorwegian "although it has the downside of being potentially misunderstood as sju" Yes, that's my main concern. I still have a hard time pronouncing "sju" and "tjue" distinct from each other (right now I tend to put stress on the "e" to make it more clear), so I wondered if I should just say "tyv". Which also would have the added benefit of being able to say "en og tyve", just like I would in German, instead of "tjueen", lol.

Listening to spontaneous speech of native speakers is one of the most important things to do while learning a new language

So now what can do when girlfriend from norway

Thanks for these videos! I'm really enjoying. I'm trying to learn Norwegian by myself now. I have a book with CD but it's much better to watch people talking about their opinions on different matters like in the videos :) One question: I've noticed many times a sentence ending with the word "da" and there's no translation to that word (I think, but maybe I've missed something). Could anyone explain to me what does it mean/when is it used? For example at 2'19'', 2'25'', 2'28'', 13' 05'' and 13' 16''. Thanks a lot in advance! :D

It doesn't really mean anything. Swedes do this aswell. It's sort of a filler word and you will notice that some people use it a lot while others don't use it as much. Here it is used as a way of saying "because" or "since". Basically if the pattern in English is "this is .... , so ...." you could express it in Norwegian as "dette er ... *da*, så ...". The sentence before the "da" usually explains the sentence that follows if that makes sense but it isn't always the case because we use it very arbitrarily. I recommend that you don't learn it now at all, because if you learn Norwegian you're eventually gonna start saying it naturally because of how others speak anyway.

The reason why i hate dating apps is because how a man gets attracted to women is completely different then how women gets attracted to men. Men simply needs women to look pretty for him to decide if he wants to sleep with her or not. So tinder works very well for women. But when it comes to women, they dont care about appearance as much as men, they care about a man's character more. Which is why dating apps dont work well for men. How are u going to display ur attractive characters traits through a freaking text? And u only get the opportunity to display ur character through text only if the women actually matches with u and actually has a conversation with u. And as mentioned, women dont get attracted to a man's physical trait. Most women rate 80% of men below average in appearance. So good luck getting matched with just ur pictures.

Women caring less about appearance than men is a ridiculous myth spread by pop culture. Your yourself said it. "Most women rate 80% of men below average appearance," ie women are much pickier than men and they ALSO look for other things other than looks. How do you go from this statistical fact to "women don't get attracted to men's physical traits"? Makes no sense. The reason dating apps don't work well for men is because... 80% of them are rated below average by women lol.

@@ihsahnakerfeldt9280 Bruh how do u go from me saying "Women dont care about appearance as much as men" to "women dont get attracted by a man's physical traits." I never said women *dont care,* i said that women dont care *as much* as men. I.e a man's physical trait has far less impact on deciding whether the woman wants to sleep with him than it has on men. 80% of men is rated below average, but if 80% is below average then that becomes the new average. Which means that the average man, is not very attractive to the average woman. But I am pretty certain that most men would rate the average woman as attractive.

My man definitely had to have other redeeming traits, other than being fun to see naked. But being fun to see naked was definitely part of the package I was looking for. I think the whole "women don't care about looks" is perpetuated by the women who marry primarily for financial security . I always made my own money, so I didn't have to sacrifice actually being with someone I wanted to f&^k just to gain some financial security.

Since I can accept being and probably remaining single I feel much better even if I would like to have a girlfriend. This aim lost its importance to me. In the last weeks or months there developed a fear of being in a relationship - not a really big one but a fear I recognize, 'cause I didn't experienced how it is to live with a partner and so I'm a bit of afraid of doing something wrong. But as I mentioned for me it's really OK now. Nevertheless it's an interesting theme so I've enjoyed that video. It's interesting to see how people in other countries are living, thinking and so on. I think it's a good way how one of the women told that it's good to do activities instead of dates where you're just talking. So you can avoid these gaps when you don't know what to tell next. Unfortunately I often had problems to read the subtitles 'cause they changed so fast. Perhaps I'm just too slow or maybe Norwegian is a more "fast spoken" language. Incidentally I watched "Vikings" which plays in Norway (but I'm waiting for the release of the second part of the 6th season on Netflix). :)

Jeg synnes datingkulturen i norsk samfunn er som amerikanerne veldig fritt og gøy.
