2:52 "Må jeg save", to anyone who doesn't get it. "må" in danish can mean both "must" and "may", but only means "must" in Norwegian. So the Dane is saying "May I saw?", and the Norwegian thinks he's asking if he has to. Conversation from the Norwegian's perspective: - Must I saw? - Must?" - Yea, must I?" - No, you don't have to, I can do it myself."

Why are you upvoted, this is wrong. "Må" means "may" in Danish, and only "may". M "Må" means "must" in Norwegian, and only "must". So the same words have different meanings in each language. So the joke is, that the dane is asking if he is allowed to saw, but since the word means must in Norwegian, the Norwegian thinks he asks if he has to.

Untill someone send them a helicopter more often with the Right Mental Help? Probably the children do not want to die if their parents would be not alcoholics. But alcohol erase pain from your brain to forget all those memories you hate - so you can be chill again? But if you put a Curtain to a Shop You can not erase the pain Behind Because the cemetery knows How many gravedigger they should hire To put All those dead bodies to the ground???

***** Probably only written Danish. ;)

2:25 The "gibberish" is "Fælles naboland" (Common neighbour country) 2:37 is "Så er jeg sku klar til en arbejdsdag, du" which roughly translates to "Now I'm ready for a day of work, mate". 2:52 "Må jeg save". In norwegian "Må" means "Must". So "Must I do the sawing?". But in danish, "Må" can mean both Must *and* May, so the dane is asking "May I saw?", but the Norwegian thinks he's asking if he has to. Then the dane thinks the norwegian says "No, you may not.", but from his perspective he's saying "No, you don't have to". 3:15 "Femoghalvtreds". This is a shortened form of "Femoghalvtredsindstyve", which is a shortened form of "Fem og halv tredje sinde tyve", which means "Five and half third times twenty". The danish number system is based on twenty, from a time when herrings were hanging on sticks in sets of 20. "Half third" implies that you already have all of the 2 first, but only half of the third, meaning 2.5. Then "times twenty" which is 50. Plus the five, makes it 55. The form "Femoghalvtedsindstyve" is valid, but is usually only used for ordinals (where it's required). The ordinal 55th in danish would be "Femoghalvtredsindstyvende" (Fem og halv tredje sinde tyvende / Five and half third times twenty th). Likewise 97th would be "Syvoghalvfemsindstyvende" (Syv og halv femte sinde tyvende / Seven and half fifth times twenty th). 3:50 "Oh well"

I found your video when I was looking for a polski or a swedish movie to listen to their languages. this is so funny, though I dunno norwegian ^_^

I know its a joke but the incorrect linguistic history is irritating me haha. Danes and Swedes used to speak a similar language that was separate from Norwegian but Danish developed very differently from Swedish probably because of the close contact with German speakers. Denmark controlled Norway for many years so Norwegian took so many loanwords and spellings from Danish that the vocabulary ended up becoming almost exactly the same but the pronunciation still was radically different. So Danes never spoke Norwegian; its really the Norwegians in present day that speak a weird sounding variety of Danish. However strangely enough, Swedish is more closely related to Danish and Norwegian is more closely related to Icelandic and Faroese. Yeah again, I know the purpose of the video isn't actually to educate people on history but man i just had to get that out there.

Oh my last time I saw one of your vids it was a first person call of duty in real life like 6 or 7 years ago xD fancy seeing you again

Well... actually they have a kind of alcohol prohibition in Norway. Any kind of alcohol advertising is banned there. There is only one kind of alcohol shop in Norway called Vinmonopolet which is a stated owned monopoly chain. In this way they keep a high price for alcohol and prevent people to get drunk unless they are very rich.

You can get alcohol up to 4.7% in a regular supermarket here in Norway (not enough to get wasted but still enough to get tipsy :)). And, in general, I think those policies are a good thing; I've read that in Denmark up to 20% of people are functional alcoholics, which is what Norwegians and Swedes try to prevent.

What a great video even though I don't understand Danish or Norwegian it was funny to watch. Some words are even almost the same in German or English. It's the same with Swedish and Russian. (That some words are nearly identical [in the pronounciation] to English or German)

My high school teacher was german. Well, presumably is, he wasn't that old by the time i graduated. The point is, he learned norwegian in 3 weeks. So if you are coming from german, norwegian is not at all difficult.

This dialect sounds kind of familiar to the dialect spoken in Scotland. Even though Scottish and Norwegian are not closely related, it still shows how vikings back then made a significant influence on Scottish dialect.

I think so too. East Norwegian (spoken here) more so than West Norwegian. Probably because of strong (Low) German influence on West Norwegian pronunciation through the ages. Guttural R's etc.... But yes, Scottish-English sounds more similar to (East)Norwegian-like than any other spoken English. The rolling R, the intonation... yet it's harder to understand than any other spoken English... Probably because it's so different from the English we're taught in school, and also from any other English we hear in the medias or in whatever English speaking country we chose to travel...

lol it's just coincidence. This was 1000 years ago, languages change far too much for there to be any similarities in pronunciation. Rolling Rs were pronounced in England too, not just Scotland, features just died out in some areas that's all. Also, apart from a few words the vikings wouldn't have had enough impact on Scotland for that to happen.

I’ve been trying to decide between learning Danish or learning Norwegian. This video has really helped me out. Norwegian has a sweet ride. Norwegian for the win!

Virkelig sjovt! den er filmet i Norge ik ?:) i har sådan en smuk natur! ( jeg elsker også detaljen med farverne på striktrøjerne;) )

Det er sgu genialt.. Henter lige en Tuborg..

Hehehe, det bedste var helt klart da nordmanden ikke forstod "femoghalvtreds". Virkelig godt klip. Og vil give jer ret i at det ikke giver megen mening at sige halvtreds i stedet for femti. Men der er en forklaring: tres (seksti) er en forkortelse af "tre sinde tyve", hvor "sinde" betyder gange. Tres betyder altså 3 gange 20 = 60. Man kunne dermed fristes til at tro at HALVtreds betød 60/2 = 30, men det er ikke tilfældet. I stedet betyder halvtreds at den sidste "tyver" er halv, altså: 20 + 20 +10. Samme tællemåde gør sig gældende for halvfjerds (70), firs (80) og halvfems (90). Virkelig dum måde at tælle på. Jeg undskylder mange gange på hele Danmarks vegne!

Ligesom halvanden = 1½ Halvtredie = 2½ (Halvtred-sinds-tyve = 2½ x 20 = 50) Halvfjerde = 3½ (Halvfjerd-sinds-tyve = 3½ x 20 = 70) Halvfemte = 4½ (Halvfem-sinds-tyve = 4½ x 20 = 90)

As a Norwegian that lived in Denmark in the mid-nineties it always brought me great joy to point out that the The 50 krone banknote had the sensible word "femti"on it... I'm sad to hear that this was "fixed" in 2009 to have the insane "halvtreds".

This is the first video I watched from Eskild. I had no idea he passed away. I watched other videos saying RIP. This is crazy. I was taken by surprise to find out.

As a Swede, this is just hilarious. Great work. I couldn't help but laugh when he took off on the motorcycle. In 1814. Anyway, I wanted to say that it looks like the description has been cut off!

Not to lesser the Scandinavians of course i love your guys. Anything you want to tell me go ahead you guys are the best, i love viking mythology and vikings and history in general from the medieval ages to today. my real name is Jesse. Again love your countries and love the language trying to learn it myself but its hard us North Americans are lazy and use English too much.

Mikey Ramone The danish numbers sound weird today, because some of the names are short forms of old ways of saying numbers. halvtreds actually means "halvtresintyve" Meaning "halvtredje" (old way of saying 2,5) times tyve (20), giving you 50. So what halvtreds actually means is 2,5*20=50 In a similar fashion, firs, is short for "firsindstyve", meaning fire(4) times tyve (20) =80 :D we still use that kind of naming for 1,5, which is "halvanden" (half-second).

gotta love the Danish reaction when norway leaves. so typical Danish :) shout out from denmark :)

Det her er den bedste video jeg har set længe!!! 😂😂

Great fun. On a more serious note: Do we know when the spoken numbering systems diverged? Femtito vs. to-og-halvtreds.

Hahaha här kommer vi svenskar och förstör (ödelägger) för er igen : 3
