Taboo in Norway

Random strangers on the streets of Trondheim, Norway, tell us about taboos in Norway. The subtitles are in their dialect, the equivalent in Bokmål, and then translated to English.

    I was born in Norway, but moved to the US when I was 8, and told i must only speak English. I have retained a lot but don't have too many opportunities to practice, nor do I have any depth. For instance, I can get my basic needs met, but to have a full conversation on any topic is difficult. The dialect piece at the end is wonderful, and my favorite part. I was born in Bergen and my mother was from there, and my father from Finnmark area, so I most easily understand those dialects, but have more difficulty with other places. I am also enjoying hearing the slang and the language mannerisms, in addition to the topics you cover. Overall, I am loving this series and the opportunity to hear real people talk, thank you so much!

Maybe you think about the cities in the north? Trondhjem is in the middle of norway. Midt-norge. It's the same distance to Oslo from trondhjem and from Bergen. And it's not more expensive there than in the rest of norway. Everything cost the exact same in the country even if you're in trondhjem or other cities. It's not like f.ex US where the prices differ in every state. In my hometown we're only 20.000 people but everything cost the same here as in the biggest cities. I understand you don't live here bc you wouldn't say it's way expensive. Anyways this was a video about taboos in norway and people mean the same all over the country so it doesn't matter who you ask here. As long as they are norwegians themselves.

The worst way to interpret that would be to assume the person in question is racist. But if he is your friend you probably know it might be one of the hundred other reasons.

    There are so many great aspects to that kind of culture, being able to handle life so much more easily than judging and making a conversations about others. I wish it was the same in my culture. People like to talk too much about politics, agendas, it's simply draining the mind and the soul and it keeps you always on your feet. Sometimes it's much healthier for you mind to step back and enjoy the good things in life without having to deal with all the hard topics, in which there's never black and white. I love that about Norwegian people, being liberal thinkers on one hand but also more reserved and distant in a way on the other hand, it's beautiful. It's the way I'd like to live my life, more genuinely and reserved. Being a critical thinker and not dwelling in tough questions and emotional turmoil all the time. In my country there's always stress, the news is full of negativity, people tend to feel oppressed by the leaders and with the hot climate outside that affects their overall behavior, they're just confronting and fighting with each other all the time. I've been always the one to observe from the outside and enjoy my little spot away from everyone.

Da han kom til Norge snakket han ikke språket i det hele tatt, men lærte seg det fort mens han jobbet på slakteri. Da jeg møtte ham første gang, og trodde han var norsk, hadde han vært i Norge i tre år.

Engelsk-talende har et stort hinder for norsk-læring i Norge, og det er at nordmenn gjerne slår om til engelsk. Og dersom ens norsk-kunnskaper ikke er særlig gode fra før, er det lett å velge minste motstands vei.

    Well, since everything we know is based off of our input - our senses and our perception, the truth is highly subjective. Example: I would say that the earth is round (or, slightly oval-shaped) - but someone would challenge that truth, by saying the earth is flat. But, the truth is not taboo - because we discuss it every day. Or did you think about something particular?
