Well the dude speaks Scanian, which is a very particular dialect and quite different from Standard Swedish, so this isn't very informative to people who have never heard Swedish or Norwegian before. Standard Swedish is way more similar still to the Norwegian that the girl is speaking.

+Kamboh 1991 +saturnineXTS that's because the danish, swedish and norwegian languages are more like different dialects of a same language, seperated into three different languages due to politics. Actually it's more like a continuum of dialects. For instance: someone who speaks a certain norwegian dualect, will understand a swede better than another norwegian who speaks a different dialect, even when they simply never heard eachother's dialect before. Also, swedish and danish have a standardised language while in norwegian there's simply no such thing as a 'formal, standard language', everybody just speaks a dialect, even tv channels and politicians.

Actually I wouldn't say Ru/Be/Ukr are anything as similar to each other as Swe/No/Dk are. You can understand them, sure, but so can Poles, especially with Belarusian. The Slavic languages could be treated as a dialect continuum all the same, but the differences are somewhat bigger than with the three Scandinavian languages (though still not as big as between certain dialects of German. go figure)

Both German and Swedish, like English, belong to the Germanic language group. So naturally there are many similarities. And yes, phonetically Danish is the one closest to German. The Danes do not sing, like Norwegians and Swedes. As for Germans and Dutch, I do not know enough to say anything educated about it, but as I understand a German and a Dutch can understand a lot of what the other is saying and/or writing from the get go.

Just spent 6 months in Norway, and I was really surprised about the similarities of the 3 scandinavian languages (sorry Icelandic), like... reading swedish or danish is quite ok for me, and even speaking with Swedes ! It's really almost the same, which is uncommon for a french man, considering that even spanish and italian is far from being that similar to french (altough we can read it pretty much). Although, I dunno why, I think Norwegian sounds a bit better !

It would be interesting to see Swedish, Norwegian and Danish together! (Maybe with some happier sentences?) I love how similar the languages are, but how different they sound! And I love the variations in accents too.

Haha. It's always funny to see you make videos with our dear Nordic neighbors. :)

I liked this one. I think your Norwegian friend did a pretty convincing Skånska if I do say so myself. I would love more videos highlighting the subtle similarities/differences in Scandinavian languages. oh, and if you are taking suggestions for video topics, I would like one about bicycle infrastructure (bike path, bike parking, bike traffic signal, bicycle underpass) just to see your take on this as you are from a region where biking is an everyday mode of transport. Or if that is too specific a topic, maybe you can explain in the comments your opinion the difference between a cykelvag and a cykelbana? They seem interchangeable to me.

I have no idea how to speak any language other than English (American) and Spanish. But I love reading Swedish mystery novels (and Danish, Finnish, Norwegian etc) I'm currently reading a great book and one quick question. Does the name or word Mällvik mean anything? In this story the main character was bullied and his last name was "easy to make fun of". So what does it mean? If anything? Thanks

Sven (or Martin) please do more Swedish vs Norwegian but with longer phrases and that makes sense lol Thank you

Well that explains why your pronunciation is a bit different from what I'm being taught in my language course. Influences from Skåne. I can hear differences in pronunciation, but can't attach that to the different regions yet. I think that will take me several years of living in Sweden. Not to mention the really localized dialects...

I think “dødelig” and “dödligt” have the same origin as the world “deadly”. All three kind of sound alike and the Nordic words have similar meaning to “deadly” in this context

She is stunning.

Swedish has lots of dialects as well. It is everything from the islands that once were Danish, Åland, Gotland, Skåne, Dalarna, Stockholm, Lappland and all along the Norwegian border (influenced by Norwegian) + more. Norwegian has 8-10 main dialect areas. Danish also has more dialect areas than you would think. At least Denmark had. They're now dying because they're so different from the most productive dialect which is the Copenhagen dialect. The most interesting thing about Danish dialects is the infamous "artikkel-grænsen" on Jutland which is where you find the frontier for the continental and British prefixed definite article. das Haus and the house. In South West Jutish they say/said 'a hus'. The same prefixed definite article as in continental European and British. In Scandinavian it is postfixed definite article 'huset'. 'Det bor en familje i a hus.'

According to the official data, Ukrainian is more similar to Belarusian, Polish (70% of common lexicology), Slovakian (68%). Ukrainian and russian languages have 62% of common lexicology, it's less, but not strange. Because Ukrainian and Belarusian languages came from East Slavic, but the russian did not. The russian is more similar to Bulgarian (73-74% of common lexicology).

They don't need English for communication. They can keep speaking their native languages and understand each other pretty good.

These are not fun as we are so similar and close genetically, linguistically and culturally being Scandinavian/Germanic and we all grow up being fluent by default in each other’s languages. I was never taught neither Danish or Swedish, but due to the exposure through media, music and TV shows/movies, I understand. Norwegian is closer to Swedish, and the majority of us has Swedes in our family, my aunt and my 3rd cousin’s husband is a Swede as well. Written wise, we’re basically Danish, but Norwegianified. Norway was also under both Swedish and Danish rule. We have over 100, if not thousands of dialects, and some was influenced by German/Dutch, and others Danish, Swedish, Finnish and Russian.
