Taboo in Norway 

Is that normal in Norway? I have never tried this here in Denmark. Sure you can handfeed them if you want, but I never tried it where they just landed on you like a pirates parrot lol.

That is kinda norwegian to begin with. I do live here now for 4 months. And it is kinda the way people are here. Like :" oh bird comes back!" Don't care just resume what I was doing.

@Pigeon if you come by, you can sit on my shoulder

@@TheBarser Yes, atleast in Bergen. Eating a burger on a bench alone, that invite atleast 2 of these who sits on your knees xD I might give them some fries when I am done eating. Cause throw 1 of those, and 150 of pigeons and some seagulls will be your best/worst friends for atleast 20 minutes.

@@tigergutt93 Sounds cool with the pigeons, though I am sure people who are afraid of birds will find it to be a nightmare. Seagulls on the other hand are annoying. There is some big ass seagull around here where I live, and they will steal your food if you are not careful.

It's very serious business, not cute. I come from Oppsal, Oslo, and it's the best place to be from no questions asked certainly..

@@tomorbataar5922 Best place bruuuh? Too much crime tho lets be real here lol. Beautiful city tho.

@@tomorbataar5922 , I guess your name means Iron Hero in Mongol, it is Temür Bagatur in Old Mongolian and Temür Batır in Turkic languages

Tömör Bataar em nai! vestlandet og nord noreg slår austlandet alltid!

@@Mari-eq8rx Vestlandet og Nord Norge burde forenes under ett flagg! Unntatt om Bergen, dei kan være en uavhengig bystat.

Hello! As a student of Norwegian, could you tell me why there are two subtitles in this video? I've noticed that they're not really different from each other but as a person that is considering to learn Norwegian I feel quite insecure about that. Which variant of Norwegian should I learn? Will it make it possible to communicate to people on the whole Norway?

@@renanavelino4220 The lower one is bokmal and the one above is nynorsk probably

​@@renanavelino4220 ​ The top one is the dialect one, nynorsk was made by collecting dialects from all across the country to make a more true norwegian written language compared to bokmål, bokmål was based on the danish written language.

Lykke til :D

Jeg forstår helt hva du mener. Etter nesten 4 måneder er jeg på A2. Men dette skyldes også det faktum at jeg er fra Tyskland. :)

Is that so? Never heard of anything like that. Maybe it really is taboo 😂

@@SimpleNorwegian Just proved the man's point :D

Really? I feel people talk about drugs all the time, specially among friends. Not publicly ofc

@@8kw7mx9 how did they get the blood? They can randomly test your blood on a whim?

You mean like medical use of marijuana? I mean Norway is Influenced by America quite alot and their legalization has failed miserably so I consider that a good taboo.

Yep, she was an excellent interviewee :)

Det er en podcast jeg hører på mye fra noen kalles Norsklærer Karense. Det var veldig hjelpelig for meg. Hun snakker sakte så menneske som lærer norsk kan forstå det. karense.podomatic.com/

Takk! Jeg vil høre på det

Angyal Zsófia du er flink til å skrive norsk ☺️ du har jo bare noen små skrivefeil, ellers er det strøkent!😄 bra jobba, lykke til videre begge to ☺️

that's why I subscribed

Omg! Same!!!

The pigeon or the dude?

@@gitnoorigin Are you referring to my comment? If so, why do you think's it's rude? Where's the Disney princess at 8:05? It's just a dude and pigeons.

@@victoza9232 no u

@@alessbritish228 No u?

LOL 😆 🤣 😂 cracked me up

Congratulations 🎊🍬🍬🎉🎉

Congratulations! That's great News😊

Congrats!

Such a shame that you lost touch with your roots. Norway is handsdown 100 times better than the US!!!

I have a few more in the works 🙌 Grüße aus Trondheim 😀

@@SimpleNorwegian 😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️😘😘😘

Aren't you that person of a Norwegian learning group in facebook?, I think i just joined that group and I see you making a lot of posts!

Sounds like a good idea, if I could afford it 😁

Why? We all mean the same thing.

Trondheim Is way far from those places haha also hell expensive, by car it would take a few days to go from Trondheim to Bergen for example.

@@pamelacisterna2222 From Trondhjem to Bergen it takes around 9 hour. Not days. From Bergen to oslo it takes 7 hours. From Tronheim to oslo takes 6,5 hours.. 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.

@@SimpleNorwegian Look up lavprisexpressen. They offer cheap bus tickets long distance at a first come first serve basis as a incentive to get people to check out their website. If you are early you can get super cheap tickets there.

I'm learning Norwegian too!!!!

@@9TOA16 it's a fun language!

Pratar du norska, Toby? Jag pratar svenska!

@@mrmatt1165 lite grann... 😀

​@@gingerdad127 You an American? Ok, I'll write you in English, unless you speak fluent Norwegian that is! lol xD

no, for example in China it's one of the 1st questions they ask you when they meet you

In Norway that is actually public information, you can look up anyone's salary online. But you're right, it would be kinda rude to ask about someone's salary, and I don't think most people care anyways.

yeah I don't think that's the case in South America, most people will openly complain.. I mean talk about it

Well it is rude to ask about that. I personally dont have a problem with it, but lots of people do. It is private.

Not really, I was in Vietnam and people there since the first conversation asked how much money I make.

Yes. I asked someone about it the other day and they said something that made sense also: that he perhaps meant to say that you wouldn't express your taboo opinions to someone who could misunderstand it intentionally, like as in, use it against you because perhaps they have some level of dislike towards you.

Some of the dialects could almost be a seperate language. One such dialect is Setesdalsk, which has a lot of influence from Old Norwegian.

@@Ozzianman the fact that I as a northern often has to speak English in the South to be understood...

We have different dialects depending on where your from :)

Just where I live, there are about 5-6 different dialects within an hour radius drive. They are very similar, but you can definietly tell them apart

@@Joemama-mu2rz if I learn the "regular" Norwegian, will I struggle to understand the dialects?

I agree with you. The pigeon is sooo cute. It seems that pigeon likes the guy.. No matter how the guy wants it to go away, it keeps coming back to him.

@Abc Abc hhhh you sure about that

it's sad politics is so important, but still in a way I can understand too.

In my country we always talk about politics with friends and family. But we kind of manage keeping the friendship and it even strengthens our family/friends ties.

@@Yostheou maybe some people are taking it to serious and hard time accepting that others have different opinions, but it's great that you can talk freely in your country. I talk politics too and have not noticed much problem talking about that in real life but on the internet yes.

I completely disagree this video was so disappointing,i learned absolutely nothing about Norway or whats taboo either everything is taboo or the people were too afraid on camera to speak their mind!

@@1414yorks Norweigans (from what I've learned) aren't too quick to show emotions/personal feelings, and sometimes distance themselves from strangers, so maybe that's why you felt that way. Sometimes you have to learn the culture first so you can kind of read between the lines.

Vienen ;)

@@SimpleNorwegian Que bien!! Tak!

Qué padre 😃 Bienvenido a Simple Norwegian!

Eso si lo sabia que son muy famosos los Tacos y comen mucho pan

I think the same. In my country 🇧🇷 people act like in yours

Ora ora quem encontrei por aqui! Minha vez de dar um alô pra um compatriota 😊

@@MarianaCosta-costa Oi Mariana!!! O jogo virou hehe

@smadge100 That's how Brazilian people laugh on the internet ;) Not the only option, but it is just better than saying "Lemon" (Lmao) XD kkkkk, hahaha, hehehe, huhauhauhauha, aousdhiaushdiausf .... you can choose.

Kkkkkkkkkkkkk

As an English native the language sounds super similar, except more of the words I can understand (norsk)

Garnet Fusion I find it quite close to german

@@K1LL3R268 It is!

Da jeg bodde i Trondheim hadde jeg en studiekamerat fra Irland. Jeg trodde først han var nordlending, men så viste det seg at han snakket trøndersk med irsk aksent. 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.

Væll æ e norsk, å syns du e ganske go allrede æ🧐😊 løkka t👍

@@Gilmaris Jeg kommer fra Irland og det er min drøm å overbevise en nordmann om at jeg er fra Norge. Men jeg vil ikke jobbe på slakteri (jeg er vegansk lol) Det vil nok ta meg minst tre år, hvis jeg er heldig!

@@ImpendingChocolate En gang snakket jeg med en afrikaner som hadde bodd i Norge i noen år. Vi snakket bare på norsk, og etter omkring ti minutter spurte hun meg hvor kommer jeg fra i Norge, fordi jeg hadde en uvanlig aksent. Det er ikke det samme som å overbevise en nordmann, men jeg var da litt stolt.

@@ImpendingChocolate :) Jeg tror cluet er å jobbe sammen med folk som rett og slett gir faen i å legge om språket for din skyld. 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. Men du ser ut til å kunne norsk godt nok til å føre en samtale på norsk, og da har du kommet over den kneiken. :)

Goes without saying.

@@Muchoyo Aass Fat and Aass Bayer are just so nice. Also Lundetungen.

De nada :)

Hey. Ouf I don’t know. I keep procrastinating :/

@@SimpleNorwegian :((

yeah uh thats your subjective opinion and probably does not reflect the reality

The guy sitting next to the girl? He’s from Molde, in Møre og Romsdal

Simple Norwegian no, I mean the guy with sunglasses talking at 1:05 :) please let me know hehe

@@Jr-ft9ii He is from Orkdal, close to Gjølme.

Rami tusen takk!!

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?

I might!

Simple Norwegian tussen takk ♥️♥️♥️ Love u teacher ♥️🇳🇴

They are the spoken dialect

Top is dialect 👍

There are indeed two official languages in Norway,Bokmål and Nynorsk. The latter is based on dialects,and is widely used in Western Norway.🙂

Some would probably appreciate the chat

Norway is not far behind, unfortunately.

Will u migrate to Norway to talk about migration?

it's useless talking with a hard core German feminist about feminism, especially in areas like: Berlin-Prenzlauer Berg, Berlin-Kreuzberg, Berlin-Friedrichshain, Freiburg, some regions in Niedersachsen around Hannover. They are fanatics and I wonder if they have a father or just were made in a whatever factory (I presume they were all in vitro fertilized). They dream of a world without any (!) men at all and: they hate women, who do not share their views or their way of living as well (go to a Cafe Lila location and have a talk to them). Italian and French feminists that I met just started rolling their eyes when they met German feminists, they couldn't take this radical fundamentalism which has an impact on any aspect of your daily live (and be it going to the bakery).. Regarding Swedes: those I know talk about anything and everything. As far as I know all Scandinavian countries are pretty democratic; there are always some issues but that's because humans are not perfect, even if they pretend or wish or at least hope to be

Mellie hahaha that was kind of funny written. I get what you mean from what friends have told me about Sweden. Every says political correctness is much bigger in Sweden. Like you cannot say your are not feminist in Sweden I have heard. Sweden is a bit weird in this case I think. Feminism seems way stronger in Sweden, yet Sweden has not yet had any female prime minister and we are on our second. But actually what bothers me about Sweden is that patriotism seems taboo. Like only Neo-nazis seem like they celebrate being Swedish. I mean I get that Sweden has a different history than Norway so nationalism has a different meaning. But it bothers me that there are many Swedes who don't seem to get that patriotism/nationalism means something very different in Norway. I feel Swedes think about national pride as only something that separates people. But in Norway 17th of May is actually a major unifying day. Many immigrants say it is their favorite day and that is when they feel most Norwegian. As far as I am concerned you can be proud to be Norwegian even if you are not originally from Norway. If you reject Norwegian values and culture than how can you ever be integrated and part of Norwegian society? I think people need to be able to express love for the country they live in without being a Neo-nazi or something. I also think that if you are too PC in how you talk about immigrants and minorities you may just end up creating more extremists on the fringes. I am not a fan of the Frp political party but at least it has given a home for more moderate anti-immigration voters. While in Sweden people who are anti-immigration seems to have drifted into more extreme parties because it is such a taboo. Don't want to bash Sweden too much. I actually look a lot up to Sweden. While taking in all the refugees probably was not that smart, it still showed that Swedes have a big heart and are very idealistic people. There are many things in society that Sweden has organized and done better than us such as e.g. road building.

@@povelvieregg165 Yes. PC is much bigger and there are cases where people have been arrested for writing about taboo subjects on FB. Older people who do not know the "new taboo norms" in Sweden are an easy target. And yes you are right about nationalism in Sweden. They say that nationalism will eventually lead to nazism so they try to prevent that and therefore the Swedish flag has been made a symbol for "hating immigrants" by the mainstream, so the flag has been demonized. In that case you are wrong. Swedes in general do not vote for any extreme parties. We have one big party (SD) that is almost as big as the second largest party (M). They are against the migrationpolitics and wants to change it, but the establishment will do anything to prevent them for getting any power, no matter how big they get. In that case you are wrong again. Swedes do not have a big heart, but they like to think they do. Swedes do not want to live where there are a lot of immigrants and thats why almost every city will have their own "no go zone" in the near future. What swedes do have on the other hand is a lot of contradiciting feelings and thoughts about immigrants due to the brainwashing from the media. But if you look at their actions you will know how they really feel and think about it.

surprised to find an algerian here ! where are you from ?

It does not sound like Norwegian at all.
