Because of this, I could understand a lot of her words.

In the end, not having ever been to Germany or any Northern country, I still managed to understand 2 sentences fully and many partially, which is still pretty good

Finnish isn't in the same language family so it's not related at all. And you Slavs have it easy, because you don't really have to deal with thousands of different dialects making it near impossible to understand each other. The 5 Nordic languages are easy to understand, it's the dialects that's difficult. I can open my mouth and I can promise you that no one from the 5 Nordic countries selected at random would understand me. And that's the power of dialects. If I say yvon literally no one understands me, in Danish that word would be øgon, Swedish ögon, Norwegian øgon, Icelandic augu Faroe augu. Oh the word is Eyes in English.

The "Ö" is quite similar to the "I" in Bird or "Ea" in Earth. 🙂 O is a totally different letter with a different sound. 🙂 Actually, the most difficult letters for native speakers to pronounciate properly would be the "R" which in standard Swedish and Finnish Swedish are rolled, but not in the southern part of Sweden. Two vowels that can be tricky as well is "U" and "Y". The rest you will manage to pronounciate, even the long and short "Ö-sound". Å= Saw or Awesome (Aw sound)(British accent). The short sound is like, "o" in "Top" or "Pop" in british english. Ä= Is like "a" in "Cat" or "Bad". The short "ä" is similar to the short "e" and in some parts of Sweden it's pronounced the same. 🙂😉 Good luck!

Icelandic is not even close to being one of the hardest languages ever, it’s just a bit harder to read than Norwegian, which is one of the easiest languages ever - Dutch & English are the easiest languages in the world, and then Norwegian is very close to English, and the grammar is even easier in Norwegian (while the sentence structure is easier in English, and then Norwegian, and then Dutch sentence structure, which may seem kinda difficult at first, but it really isn’t that difficult, especially after getting to an advanced level, it becomes very intuitive and at this point I just know if the word order doesn’t feel right) and, then it would be Swedish, and then Old Norse (which is actually way more refined than Modern Icelandic, so it’s easier to read) and then Danish (it’s easy to understand written Danish, but it’s not easy to understand spoken Danish, so understanding spoken Icelandic and Faroese is actually easier than understanding spoken Danish, but reading Danish and spelling Danish is easier than reading and spelling Icelandic & Faroese) and, then it would be Icelandic & Faroese, and then German, which is actually more difficult to read and write than Icelandic & Faroese due to having so many consonants and groups of consonants and silent letters etc, and then the Frisian languages maybe, but maybe they are easier than German, actually, but I don’t know much about them yet, tho they are all on my list of languages I want to learn and improve, while Old English is the most difficult Germanic language because it’s the most unrefined-looking Germanic language and that makes it extremely difficult to read and remember the words, so I am learning it and the other more difficult languages little by little, while prioritizing the easier ones first (and Afrikaans is very easy, just as Dutch, but the pronunciation would be more difficult than Norwegian, but it’s still one of the easiest languages in the world and one of the easiest Germanic languages, which a very simple grammar like Norwegian, tho some of it is not correct, so it’s not as logical as Dutch anymore, because some parts have been modified in an incorrect way, tho I use my own version of the words that I made up according to the logical rules, like, I use wy instead of ons when saying we because ons means us technically, and a few other similar words) and, Spanish / Italian / Esperanto are the easiest Latin languages and are almost as easy as English / Dutch / Norwegian, and then Welsh & Breton, which are the easiest Celtic languages, and overall, German languages are the easiest ever, then Latin languages, which are almost as easy as Germanic languages, and then Celtic languages!

They are all germanic languages, not only from the same family (indo-european) but also from the same group (germanic), although ("although", is that how it's written?) german would be a "south-germanic" language. You can see the parallels, like a lot of "i"s from north germanic becoming "ai" sounds in south germanic languages. Look to "IS" (or ÍS in icelandic), it just turns into EIS in german, IJS in dutch and ICE in english, all with the same "ais" sound. Also a lot of "ooh" sounds becomes "au" sounds from north to south, like in "HUS" or "HÚS" becoming "HAUS", "HUIS" and "HOUSE", all pronounced the same. So even the differences follows easy to understand patterns.

@@tetea7257 If you take a very close look at words, grammar and the the origin of cognates, then yes, both are similar. To be more accurate: It is very easy for any Germanic speaker, to learn any Germanic language due to high number of shared vocabulary, similar grammar and syntax. Even many basic words are Germanic: to have (English) = ha (Norwegian) = haben (German) = hebben (Dutch) = hawwe (Frisian) = hafa (Icelandic) Keep also in mind that there are Old Norse words in northern German dialects: Trousers: Buxe (Northern German) = bukser (Danish) = byxor (Swedish) = bukse (Norwegian) = buxur (Icelandic)

Great job! I had a girl in my class back when I was like 16 that came straight from Iceland to Sweden. Took her about a year to basically understand everything and when she spoke you couldn't even have guess she came from another country. I guess that has to do with Icelandic being closer to the "root" of the other languages, making it easier to see how the words have changed. :)

That could be because they all are direct relatives of the vikings who sailed out of fjords from western Norge shores and it's safe to assume that after occupying those islands they kept some distant contact occasionally. This is very probable assumption, since history shows that other vikings like from Danish area (incl southern Norwegian coast) were more interested in England/Scotland and Ireland apparently. Whilst Swede vikings went east, penetrating Slavic lands deep - all the way to the shores of Black/Caspian seas and from there beyond to Byzantine/Samarkand.

Always love listening and learning from Hrafna's videos.

I absolutely love the Nordic languages! I have seriously been obsessed with them since I was a very young kid. Not only the languages but also the people, the cuisine, the culture and architecture. So far I have had the best luck with learning Norwegian and Swedish. The funny thing is I have some experience speaking Danish and to my surprise the native Danish speakers understood me.

I love how these kinds of videos bring together nordic countries

Eyyy Hrafna's back! Also, completely out of topic, but when i was cleaning out my subscriptions two weeks ago to delete some channels, I found you and i was about to delete you, until i found out you were one of the people that inspired me long ago when your channel name was still cassidy.

I do think it’s easier for an Icelander to understand Scandinavian than vice versa, since we lack a lot of the declensions that you still use. Also a lot of our loan words are from German and French, and are in many cases similar to English words.

rödhårig-redhair/själv-self/glad-happy those as well doesn't need any translation, I've been learning some Norwegian for the past few months and can assume that about at least 30% words are nearly identical to English or approximate meaning can be interpreted. Pretty interesting that pretty often you tend to get whole sentences that are absolutely word-to-word in both languages, just with minor spelling differences, but pronounced still the same minus the accent.

"Eg elski mat" That is correct. Just stepping in for a lacking goggle engine.

I'm Finnish but live in Sweden and I understood every sentence. Woop woop

Choosing a topic covering the similarities between germanic languages is not discrimination. It's your choice and a meaningful comparison. I'm Afrikaans (also germanic language from mainly dutch origin), from south Africa, and find it fascinating that I can actually understand parts of the scandanavian languages, except finnish, which is not germanic, but uralic.

The Nordics rock.

Never apologize. Ever. They will never be satisfied. Nothing will ever be enough.

Okay I subbed. I love languages and Icelandic has interested me for years, especially since you use the þ and ð which we used to have in British English. I also found it interesting how Icelandic seems closer to Danish, Norwegian and Swedish than I thought. It's a reason also why I watch Söngvakeppnin every year, just so I can hear Icelandic.
