When I flew on KLM I always thought the Dutch announcements were English with a northern accent, which I just wasn't quite hearing properly. Also when people crash on Dutch Dashcam footage they sound like Mancs or Yorkshiremen who are so angry they've become incoherent. Or Scousers, who are always angry and inchoherent.
ia m dutch and i have to say he portrait the dutch language prety well. and with is assumption of putting ing the extra endings he also made allot of norwegian words dutch. this just shows how close our language actualy realy are. i love norwegian. its sounds so fluid the melody is just awsome. and i can understand a fair bit of it. if i set my mind to a norwegian way of prenouncing
To a Norwegian spoken Dutch sort of sounds like a made-up language. You understand very little - yet you feel you are so close to understanding it all. Dutch, Germans and Scandinavians will all understand much of Vegard's gibberish. Try "Jaap Westerdijk at the Amsterdam Mobile Convention".
Cecilie B well I've been to denmark and sweden recently and when someone was talking in their native language we understood some words but the rest was all just some repeating sounds. when we were listening to it we were like oh i understood a word and now its just like huelehuelehuele ( which it sounded like to me :D ).
I don't know Dutch and I don't know Norwegian either, but hell I can't stop laughing!! Only a masterpiece could make someone laugh so hard without speaking any of the languages!! Vegard, you're such a legend! Love you!
The ending killed me, mostly due to his face when he realises he just responded to her questions when she was speaking Swedish and the cat is out of the bag.
When he says that thing with "textil industry..... general strike..... 28" at 2:29 it totally sounds German. We would say it almost the same way in Germany ("Die Textilindustrie hatte ´nen Generalstreik von ääähhh 28..."). Vegard spoke German. Now I can die peacefully.
Even though the guy was obviously not saying a word Dutch at all, I think his impression was pretty good. I can see how this is what Dutch sounds like to others. Sometimes it even sounded like he was putting some Dutch accent in there hahah
It's such a good imitation! Like the interpreter said "Ik begrijp d'r geen woord van", it's complete nonsense but still sounds so Dutch. Petje af Vegard!
I'm Dutch and he is right, everything you say with some extra g's in it will sound Dutch, but it doesn't mean it is. These translators were being very polite and tried very hard to make it a good take, but there were only a view words that were really Dutch, the rest was gibberish! But funny!!!
Hahaha! The host finally lost it! This was funny to me, but I also sympathised with the translators...unless some kind soul puts up English subs, that's how I usually feel watching Ylvis. Completely lost except for an occasional word!
I'm Dutch, and for some reason it felt normal to me, but I couldn't make any sense of it. I have the same when watching Ylvis without subtitles. I feel like I understand them, but I don't, at least not completely.
I am dutch and I can't understand everthing... But it's really funny to hear this! And I like Vegard very much so I do like it he pretends to speak our language. It is a real language by the way and it is the hardest language to learn for everyone, so respect for Vegard!! Echt geweldig, hoe hij nederlands probeert te praten! Jeg også snakker litt norsk, jeg prøver nå å lære
Even though he doesn't know Dutch he does base it on more than Norwegian. "Keine" is not a word in Norwegian, so I figure he knows a little German. He doesn't just speak Norwegian mixed with gibberish, but (at least) a mix of German and Norwegian with gibberish.
Yes. With a little preparation he would have spoken lots of recognizable words. I'm sure he's able to spot what Norwegian words are of Low-German origin. Ex. all the words starting with an-, be- or for-. Then.. jump into it. I think the Dutch would understand. Another rule of thumb: if the word is similar in Scandinavian and English, it's very often a common Germanic word. Ex: body parts, leaf trees, basic food. Melk, egg, brød in Dutch? Should be easy. Ceci from Ekeberg, Oslo. Dutch: Eikenberg?
For us Dutch, speaking norwegian or Danish is like say the dutch word but image your a sheep at the end of the word. The ééu and a more vibrating rrreu. (agian the sheep sound)
off cOUrse! dutch and afrikaans both belong to the netherlandophonic language group! afrikaans stil kan be understood quite well by flemish and dutch speakers, here and there you might miss a word or an expression, but not worse than english and australian
well here's a Dutch guy singen in a scandinavian language: Hans Teeuwen - Live in London - Scandinavian War Song this is how norwegiand and swedish sound to us
if you're reffering to my link then you have absolutely no sense of what is funny. Second: Ylvis is norwegian, not Dutch. Conclusion: You must not be very fun at parties :)Marco Alzeni
Absolutely. I'm Norwegian. I've never learnt any Dutch. Had four years of German, two years of French. Give me some foreign papers, German: I'll understand 75%. Dutch: 70% (because Dutch is even closer to Scandinavian). French: 30%.
@@hannem9799 Form my Dutch side being in Denmark and Sweden on several holidays I came to me that not only the languages but also the countries are more similar to The NEtherlands than to germany. At least Danmark is very similar. I already knew I could read these languages without learning them because I did on internet. I wonder if that would have been possible to the same degree with GErman. Never will be able to asses that as I had to learn german the first three years at school (age 12-15). But aal in all I feel Scandinavia is clearly closer to us in many ways than Germany. I Germany I feel abroad, especially in Denmark I never really felt abroad. Just another province. Oh and when I was talking to my son the Danish host said she understood every word I was saying. She asked me what language I spoke and she had no clue Dutch was so similar. Sadly, while reading Danish is easy understanding it when spoken is really difficult for me. But I managed to comprehend the weatherforecast on TV for 90% which on holidays is one of the most important things...Norwegian when written seems very very similar to Danish but spoken to me it is much easier as is Swedish btw.
Did you activate the captions? There's a cc button on the action bar on the video. It displays the subtitles for me, so I don't know why it shouldn't for you as well.
+Tygo Heemsbergen ja, het is echt moeilijk voor mij, ik ben in een nederlands cursus, 1 jaar geleden ik begreep echt niks, maar nu ik ben een beetje beter.
