Swedish and Norwegian are mutually intelligible, just like Czech and Slovak. It's nice when two nations understand each other and don't need translators. As far as Scandinavian languages are concerned, Swedish leads the way for me :)

@kristianemilpaludan1653 22 дня назад

You also don't need translators between Norwegian and Danish (just slower conversation). Norwegians are in general the best at understanding other Scandinavian languages and Swedes have the most trouble (but there are probably more factors at play than just the languages themselves!) The dialect continuum continues down to Denmark btw, so Northern dialects of Danish has three genders like west Norwegian (which also has the Danish r), and southern Swedish also has the guttural r and has a lot of Danish loan words and more danish sounding vowels. Bornholm Danish is VERY close to southern Swedish and so forth. This video is mostly talking about the dialects of the capital cities (which is also probably what a foreigner would be learning) but mind you that the reality is of course more nuanced. I would guess Oslo Norwegian/Bokmål is the most widely understood dialect in Scandinavia, because it is pronounced very close to how it is written and has a lot of influence from both Danish and Swedish. It is however also perhaps the most singsongy dialect, so other dialects/languages will make a bit fun of you haha

@spidrawebster 8 месяцев назад

I learned some Danish as an exchange student over a summer, then got in a situation where my school dropped Danish instruction but still offered Swedish. So I took that. Then Danish came back and I was taking both for a couple years. I was very good (I'm told) at keeping them separate, but it takes constant practice. In the years since, as I've gotten busy with other things, I make far more mistakes when switching now. As you allude to, there are far more Swedish speakers (Swedes also tend to be better at promoting their national "brand" than Danes are) so I've gone from being equally good to being better at Swedish now. There are just more opportunities to practice it.

I am Danish. If you want to learn a Scandinavian language, take Swedish. Why? Because the three of us understands each other, but speaking Swedish, you will do fine in Finland, too. Swedish is an official language in Finland, therefore many Finns speak Swedish.

@alexanderjohansson8133 2 месяца назад

As a northern swede I would say it's a bit generous to say that the three of us understand each other. Danes have to adapt a bit to be understood, I can read danish semi fluently, but as soon as potato mouth comes in it's over :D Most norwegian is very easy to understand though. I must admit, although I wish it was different, that I prefer swapping to english with danes. It would probably be quite easy with a little bit of exposure to get used to the danish sounds in order to understand spoken danish.

@1h30minsmusic2 2 месяца назад

As a Finn I can say that ” by speaking Swedish You will do fine in Finland too” is a bit overexcarated. Altough technically Swedish is official language in Finland due to historical reasons, only about 5% of Finland’s population speaks it as their first language and the amount has been declining since the Finnish independence. I can definently say that you can do fine with speaking Swedish in Åland, around the city of Vaasa and in some smaller villages in Ostrobothnia and southern Finland. However for an example in the capital city metro area, where almost 1/4 of the whole Finland’s population lives you will be looked weird if you go to shops, restaurant etc… and start speaking Swedish. And It’s the same story in pretty much all the eastern and northern parts too.

Scots dorics and Frisian and Dutch are more closer in inteligibility. I guess in terms of inteligibility with English it's Globish and Ogden English,ISE another idiom out of these sphere today doesn't have inteligibility with hodiern current English. Frisian today is very far from english, English is very mixed and hibrid in higher level that any idiom can't follow today...

@iKrivetko 8 месяцев назад

Bokmål and Nynorsk aren't just different writing systems, they are in fact standards of two separate languages, and while Nynorsk is distinctly West Scandinavian (eg/ek for I is one of the features, for example), Bokmål is indeed more of an assimilated version of Danish which is East Scandinavian.

@sayitinswedish 8 месяцев назад

Like I said in the video, they are different standards in writing, BUT nynorsk is more oriented towards dialects that have more of these traits that are seen as genuine Norwegian. That's true. Hence the difference in pronunciation in my example.

@ole7146 8 месяцев назад

For starters is Danish in fact the odd kid out? The soundshift of what is today the Scandinavian languages already began during the 800 and the major soundshift of Danish happend during the 1100, long before any of the Scandinavian languages was influenced by middel low German. Old norse had stress accents and neither Faroes or Icelandic, the closest spoken languages to old Norse today, is classified as tonal/musical languages which is the case with Swedish and Norwegian. So Swedish, and in particular Norwegian, quite simpley took a diffrent path evolving into having tonal / musical pronunciation, although it differs throughout Norway from less to very pitchy. In Swedish it seems more stabil throughout the country as less pitchy and in certain regions the pronunciation / soundscape is quite nasal. Danish on the other hand, in particular the varies Jutish dialects and accents, leans more towards western Germanic languages like Dutch, Frisian and northern English. As far as the written standards Swedish is the one that differs the most, Swedish has a significant amount of wotds that differs completly from Danish / Norwegian.

@sayitinswedish 7 месяцев назад

@swedishmetalbear Месяц назад

The Danish dropping of consonants and letters is not THAT old. There is written testimony of that by sailors and merchants explaining how odd Danish was beginning to sound.. But this is only as far back as the 16-17 hundreds.. Even from when the R became guttural instead of rolled in the front of the mouth comes from the 16-17 hundreds when French was beginning to dominate the continent...

@hijackbyejack1729 Месяц назад

So Norwegian has a lot of similarity to Swedish due to proximity, but it also has a lot of similarities to Danish because of previous Danish rule. By this logic, if someone's goal is to understand all three very well, wouldn't that makes Norwegian the best choice? Also, you talk about the dialects of Norway, but again if your goal is to understand everybody in Scandinavia, then studying Norwegian prepares you for understanding them better than studying Swedish does, right?

@kristianemilpaludan1653 22 дня назад

Yes! I'm fluent in Danish and Swedish, but Norwegian is most definitely the one to choose if you seek to understand everyone in Scandinavia to some extend. Danes generally have a much easier time understanding Norwegian than Swedish. It should be noted however that both Danish and especially Norwegian have many many dialects, and a Norwegian might even have trouble communicating with another Norwegian because of this. Similarly there are some dialects of Danish that I don't understand unless I know some context. The Swedish language also have dialects but they have mostly died out and are nowadays minor in comparison. I would say Oslo Norwegian is comprehensible for most Scandinavians (but it is unrealistic to learn to understand all of the dialects in the region)

I think they say Norwegian is West Norse because it originally was, and that shines through in some elements such as diphthongs, the feminine etc - most of those being emphasized in Nynorsk. However, Bokmål (especially the conservative variation) is pretty much Danish, so East Norse.

@sayitinswedish 6 месяцев назад

Yes, but even the more conservative dialects have "Swedish" traits. It's just not that simple. All the classification is good for is, as you say, to describe some sound changes.

@SaturnineXTS 6 месяцев назад

@@sayitinswedish Exactly, the whole West Norse thing is essentially just stuff like "ben" vs "bein" or "rök" vs "röyk", and very few of these forms are actually mandatory in Bokmål. What I do find interesting though is their feminine, which is also optional and I hear is slowly disappearing, especially around Oslo: ei kvinne - kvinna instead of en kvinne - kvinnen. More conservative languages such as Icelandic or Faroese f course also keep it
