What Swedes Think Of Norwegians 

Typical norwegian is going to sweden and buy a kilo candy... 😂

I've always liked the comradeship Sweden has with Norway and Denmark. One joke that's always stayed with me is language related. "The Danish language sounds like a drunk Swede attempting to speak Norwegian."

Why do Swedes always drink their milk in the store? Because on the packet it says "oppnas har"

My Norwegian American grandparents STILL told Swede jokes.

Haha, this is hilarious. Greetings from Norway

A Norwegian, a Swede, and a Dane was stuck on a deserted island. Suddenly they found a bottle with a genie inside, and he gave each of them one wish. First, the Norwegian wished himself back to Norway, and the Dane wished himself back to Denmark. The poor Swede got lonely, so he wished them both back.

Norwegian joke about swedes. There are 3 swedes in the wild. They find tracks. One swede says "oh it's Elk tracks", the other swede says "no, no it's reindeer tracks", the other swede gets killed by a train. It's train tracks lol.

How do you make a Swedish guy laugh on new years eve? By telling him a joke on Christmas eve ^^

Haha. Loved it. So basically we do the same. Make jokes about our Swedish friends. But it's with no ill intent. More like the same way we would talk "trash" to our best friend. Generally speaking, we love our Swedish neighbours.

Lol we in Norway think that the Swedish language is cute!

"It's actually become so popular in Sweden that a lot of Swedes have started to speak Norwegian...". Made me really smile. It's so funny; just yesterday, I was googling around how to speak Swedish with Norwegian accent/melody/intonation. I'm learning Swedish right now, because I really in love with the country and wanna live at least for a while there. And I've also been recently watching (and rewatching) Skam and I can't even explain how much I fell in love with the intonation of the Norwegian language. It doesn't necessarily sound happy to me, just the way they accentuate and play with some words in the sentence. So it's seems to me so emotional and expressive. Never thought I would find a language, I'd come to think that sounds better than French to me. So given that I didn't find anything on google, I really wonder how did it go with the Swedes trying to speak with the Oslo accent? :)

As a norwegian i think of Sweden, Denmark, Iceland and Finland as my brothers. Then again I think of Shetland, Faroe Islands, Scotland as Family too.

hahaha, I love those made up words, I need to remember them. I love the friendly banter between Scandinavian countries. Have you seen the NRK sketch "kamelloso"? It's about a Norwegian trying to talk with a Danish shopkeeper.

Norway and Sweden. Best neighbours, and the best countries in the world :) Love from Norway

Sweden: hi denmark do you want to here a joke? Denmark: yes let me here! Sweden: ”Skåne” Denmark: i don’t get it? Sweden: thats right... you will never get it!

«Jeg Skal Drepe Deg» 😂 Norskkkkkk

Ive watched your videos about 1 month and this is awesome channel! I think your channel will grow very big! Greetings from Finland!

As a Norwegian person I’m very positivly surprised. We just kinda have the typical ‘swedes are stupid’ thing... Love you tho’.

Aww! Wow that’s not all that bad. I thought you’d say swedes hate us 😂

The first one is so true for me, they sound freaking adorable.

We norwegiens think the same think of the swedes 😘

Just came back from a vacation to both countries. I hardly knew anything about either one, that's why i took the trip, and came back in love with both countries. Norway is a little harder to enjoy considering its just so expensive. Stockholm has a new place in my heart. People are so light hearted, caring and respectful of eachother. Not sure if it was just that they are so happy to see summer arrive but I just got the feeling that they are very happy people in general. It was a wonderful trip and I'm going to save my $ to get back there again.

Hahahha jag älskar d norska språket, sååå gulligt

Hei. I’m so happy to hear that Swedish people think most of these things about my country. This was a great video, and you deserve a thumbs up :)

Jeg lærte skikkelig mye gøy av å se på denne videoen!! I Norge kan det faktisk høres litt ut som at vi snakker forskjellige språk på grunn av dialektene😂😂 "'Jeg skal drepe deg'. Aww cute". lmao😂😂 Eg lo godt av dette. Eg ska ivertfall se an flere gange.😂😂😂

You say it SO serious that me and my brother nearly died of laughing 😂 (jeg er fra Norge btw)

I love the fun bantering and humor that you guys all have never noticed any other countries that have such a great rapport and get along so well

Omg the end « (straight face) ut på tur, aldri sur👍🏻»😂😂😂

Aww! Thank you! Thank you for thinking we sound cute and happy!❤🇧🇻💙

And Norwegians go to Sweden to buy food👍🏻

My friend and I always imitate our neighbours, he always imitates Danes and I imitate Norwegians. And when I pretend to speak Norwegian I just speak Swedish but I exaggerate the intonations of sentences and I end words often on E (example: Svenske instead of Svenska) or if the word ends with an N, I remove the vowel before the N (Example: BussN instead of Bussen) oh and I put a lot of emphases on the N sound. Last things I never pronounce G as an J anywhere so Norje becomes to Norge plus I often change the O to a Ö and A to Ä, so it's Nörge. As for my friend, all he does is just sound mad and pretend he has a potato in his mouth. And no joke, it sounds like Danish.

Thanks for having put a smile on my face. 😁

In Denmark we can't get mad at Norwegians either, because of their cute language :) Swedes tends to have an all together different view of the Danish language - our pronounciation is the subject of much ridicule! ;) :P But no worries, we poke fun at the swedes too - actually more so, than the norwegians. Good to to see that the old animosity has turned into friendly neighbouring banter :) Talking about languages - here's a icelandic comedian on the Nordic languages: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OSacz4GHQjs.html

Kinda feel like swedes lowkey hates us tho 😂

I just started watching Skam, and I'm at the very beginning of season 3 now. I'm German, but I can speak Swedish a bit, and it's pretty cool to see that I can translate most of the texts (e.g. messages or websites) in the show, even though I've never learnt any Norwegian. :D

Du var flink til å snakke norsk😂👍🏼 mye rett du fortalte om oss!

the outdoors part is absolutely true

Damn you nailed that "Ut på tur aldri sur" coming from a norwegian :D

Great video, thanks

Neimen, det her va veldig koselig! Takk skal du ha.

You are the one with a pretty face, and a sweet personality. I love you, man.

Arigato ( Tusen takk ) for sharing your thoughts about the Norwegians ! :) Yes, I've also had a feeling that the Norwegians never get angry. In fact, I've never seen or heard my bestefar Thor being angry. ;) I will watch your other videos, too, by the way. :D Greetings fra Japan

this is absolutely great omg

Tusen takk for en søt og morsom video. "Ut på tur. Aldri sur" :-D Klem fra vest til "söta bror", som vi gjerne sier her på østlandet (Oslo-området)

Omg HAHAH, those "Norwegian words" are hilarious! As a Norwegian I would never have guessed what those words are supposed to be (except for "kjempetorsk" which just sound like a very large fish), but they are hilarious anyways! And I hate skiing btw, and the winter in general.. I just love the christmas and having a white christmas with lots of snow outside (its so cozy). But something that is funny about our people is that we are always complaining about the weather (not all of us of course, but lets just face it all Norwegians; we complain a lot!). Yes we do have the expression "ut på tur, aldri sur", but in the reality its always like "aww its raining, I want warmth and sun!" or "omg this heat is killing me, I need some rain now!" or "omg its so cold, can't it be summer and sun soon..!?", and the complaints goes on and on. But I guess thats just part of our culture..? Is that a thing in Sweden and/or Denmark too?

You should do a 'What Swedes Think Of Danish' next!!!

You guys actually have some pretty precise stereotypes of us, especially the outdoors stuff! We have a saying here in Norway "det finnes ikke dårlig vær, bare dårlig klær" roughly translated to "there is no such thing as bad weather, only improper clothing".

I love that video because of that language and way how you speak. Cheers mate

Hva er forskjellen på en svenske og verdensrommet? Det er håp om å finne intelligens i verdensrommet😂😂

Actually we - Poles make the same kind of jokes mostly about Czechs and the Czech language (their language sound like a cute version of Polish - *also apply to Russian and other slavic languages) and we make up funny words that don't exist in that language as well :)

I love how you say Norwegians are always sounding happy, when you in this video sounds like you are bored to death! Very good pronounciation of Norwegian! Jäg tycker det var jättegott! Hejhej, hemsmycket... hejdå!

thank you so much for this! ive always wondered what the swedish people thought about us!

"Brusefortølj" xD Har lyst til å bruke det ordet nå.

Awww u think our language is cute😂

Hahah great video! I'm from Norway and this was a fun video to watch :) it wasn't rude just funny and informative which is nice :) And it's true that both countries have stupid jokes about the other, our jokes about Sweden are usually about stupidity or blondes... Love that you had the "ut på tur, aldri sur" because that is such a common thing to say here in Norway. Also fun to learn you call us Brisk :D in our defense we need to learn to enjoy bad weather or we would never leave the house as it can rain quite a lot :P Common things about Norway that u didn't add but often hear: - Norwegians are born with skiis on their feet - vikings, trolls and moose - Lillehamar eventyrland, seriously google this one so under appreciated kid fairytales park Great video :) curious what Sweden think of Norway as a country and Norway the people :) also curious about what a Sweden is like for someone who lives there :) what does an average day look like vs a year in Sweden? Sunny, lots of cars or bicycles, maybe cats everywhere like I saw in Crete, seriously up to 7 cats outside almost every hotel around xD share things we wouldn't know unless you lived there :)

I love it when he said "jeg skall drepe deg" and its so true they always sounds so sweet I would know cause I'm Norwegian 🇳🇴

A swedish man walked in the desart with a car door then he puled up the window saying it's so cold here

Vi sier også ¨ut på tur aldri sur¨ i norge :) En annen ting vi sier (som er steriotypisk norsk) er ¨Det finnes ikke dårlig vær, bare dårlig klær¨

I've never known a Swede, but one of my oldest friends was Norwegian. It's true that she loved the out-of-doors and really good food. We shared a fondness for potatoes, too. She did speak of the Scandinavian rivalries and had some funny descriptions of the various stereotypes.

My Dad came from Sweden to Canada in 1923 . My Mom's Dad was from Norway Great wonderful people Canada was very lucky to get thousands of these people Danish too and Finnish

Norwegians call Sweden söta bror😂😂

Being part swedish (most of my family is in Sweden, which i visit regularly) so I know about many of the typical conceptions of being norwegian in their eyes. Whenever you are in Sweden, or hear a Swede talk about Norway on television aso, they are quick to bring up the oil, and the idea that norwegians are so much richer than swedes. This needs a bit of a elaboration. What most swedes forget is that they too is one of the riches countries of the world, if you think pro capital. Until 2009 Sweden has always had a larger, by far, GDP than Norway. The main reason that we was bigger in this particular year was the financial crisis. Since our economy rely more on planned economy, where the State is a large owner and contributor and important allocation-decisions are made by government authorities and are imposed by law. The large portion of swedes coming to Norway to find work after 2009 is mainly because Sweden was much harder ridden by the financial situation after this year. If you look upon the year before, in 2008, the story is very different. In this year sweden had a GDP of 315,5 billion dollars, while Norway had 307,9 billion dollars. So the swedes may very well try to portray themself as a "poor" country, but in fact they are stinking rich. The swedish economy is about 25 % larger than our, but since there is twice as many swedes than norwegians, we are richer when it comes to pro capita. In the 1970s Norway's GDP was one third of what Sweden earned, so the rich Norway is somewhat of a new thing. But one can add that our healthcare system, the general welfare state system is something that was developed long before our country became rich. I am saying this because most swedes will point at the oil to explain our financial situation, but also this is in need of an elaboration. Only around 15 % of Norway's GDP comes from the oil. For one we probably have a better financial system than Sweden, we are bigger on raw material and Sweden has gotten a bigger competitor with new rising economies in Asia, like China and India, since the swedes have relied largely on engineering industry. As an example, the car companies in Sweden, Saab went bankrupt and Volvo was sold to the chinese. The same growing economies has had a huge demand for oil. But the main objection is that there is not really a great difference between Norway and Sweden, when it comes to conditions for the single inhabitant. The Uns, Human Development Report who try to say something about difference in prosperity between different countries. In the so-called HDI index, calculated here, GDP per capita. The value of HDI was the highest in Norway in 2011, as in the year before. Then Australia and the Netherlands followed, while Sweden reached 10th place, which is quite a good position. The report also include income probability, Norway is still at its peak. Sweden picks up to third place as a result of a significantly more even distribution of income than countries such as the United States and Germany. And when gender inequality is also included, Sweden tops the UN ranking, while Norway falls down to 6th place. But the calculations of the UN indicate that, in addition to higher consumption, and somewhat higher unemployment, Sweden may be as well-established as Norway today. In very many countries with weak institutions and with the help of powerful multinational companies, natural resource wealth does not benefit the general population, but only to the few. This has not happened in Norway where the oil wealth has been transformed into sort of a "saving account" abroad. For the time being large state owned companies like Equinor (formerly Statoil) a started the transition for a more green economy, less depended of Oil. This is an important aspect, since many of the richest countries in the World, like the US, has a large portion of their citizens living in poverty. So, it is not always about GDP, but how the finances are equally shares with the general population .

nice video, i'm from norway and what you said in that video was very accurat ;D

Elsker måten du sier ut på tur aldri sur😂

UT PÅ TUR ALDRI SUR :D

I'm Norwegian, and I think Swedish sounds cute 🤗

My grandmother and grandfather are from Sweden and I was born and raised in Hawaii when I went to Sweden I thought everyone had a odd sense of humor and I thought the Swedish were so nice and polite.It felt nice to be around people that look like me .they thought it was odd that I was from so far away

Takk. Jeg likte det du sa om oss Thanks . I like what you say about us

Have you heard about the Swedish guy that went to college? Me neither😶

If you poll Americans, when they hear "Swedish" they think of Swedish Cheif (Muppets), Ikea, Volvos, Swedish fish (candy), and Swedish meatballs. Mmmm Swedish meatballs. Some even mistaken Swiss for Sweden... I do not know why. Most Americans do not usually think about the Swedes. They do not even give you the option to learn Swedish in most Colleges/Universities. I love the Swedish culture and wish there was more Swedish love over here.

I come from Norway and this video was very funny for me to watch.

Jeg er en 26-åring jente fra Norge, jeg elsker Sverige og våre svenske naboer. Jeg bor nå i USA, kom når jeg var 4 år gammel. Glad å høre at du liker vårt språk.

För mig norska är mer krävande språk. Man måste betona nästan varje ord så att man pratar med andan i halsen :)

Next do what swedes think about finns! That will be long video tho if you know what i mean! :))))

Cool vid Mate ! 😎

Thank you dude!

We Are brothers hi little brother how is The skiing going? We do The Same to You haha

SKAM 😍😍😍

Quite a gree with you! I have a norwegian friend who I have been known for 8 years! They talk like a birdy jumping on the roof, so fast and happy! Norwegian sounds close to Swedish and written like Danish haha. And I have learnt both the language for a bit, and I was so amazed by some differences especially when I came to learn Svenska after I knew a bit norwegian haha those Swedish accent and intonation makes the language sounds hard and sharp! And I always hear some swede friends talk about the hare and älg across the border😝

haha jeg føler meg så jævla mektig akkurat nå. hahaha

Varför föddes inte Jesus i Norge? De kunde inte hitta tre vise män.

The Norwegians in my family were sad when my Swedish family married one of their relatives. This was because the Norwegians were all bleach blonde. And the Swedes had darker hair ( that could possibly turn blond) they basically thought we were ruining there thousand year Norwegian Reich. But, alas I am one of those pesky Swedes who is product of the ruined idea. ( I have darker hair like all the Swedes, that sometimes looks blonde) Also the Norwegians still use the Swedish jokes from like the 80's 😬

im from norway, i liked the Word's you made up :D

Hahahah det var en så bra video😂

one thing about norwegian that's better than swedish (in the written language only!) is they have fewer accents on the letters and they have phonetic spelling haha. when i type in swedish i'll cheat sometimes and use norwegian spelling to avoid the complicated accent keystrokes (on the US keyboard)

Hur sänker man en norsk ubåt? Hahaha

Hahaha ut på tur, aldri sur:)

You just got a new norwegian subscriber😊

Some random observations from a Norwegian about Swedes both positive an negative: 1) Swedes much better at service. Swedes working in stores facing customers tend to do a better job than Norwegians. They act friendlier and more professional. Actually I think Swedes are the only ethnic minority anywhere which get positive discrimination. Like Norwegian bosses will often prefer hiring the Swede over the Norwegian. 2) Swedes seem like sticklers for rules. Now Scandinavians in general are probably a lot more into following the rules than people elsewhere (except for Germans I guess ;-)), however I think Norwegians are a bit more anarchist than Swedes. We tend to disregard rules we find stupid. The joke here is that if you can't see any car as far as the eye can see and there is a guy waiting patiently by the pedestrian crossing for a green light, then that person must be a Swede. 3) Swedish companies have more hierarchy and respect hierarchy more. OTOH Swedes are more into having democratic discussion where everybody is heard. I remember watching Swedish TV as a teenager that they had more shows in Sweden where there was these long philosophically bent discussions. I think that was kind of cool, and points to Sweden being a bit more of a civilized country. Norway is probably a bit more quick and dirty and without much respect for either hierarchy authority. 4) Political correctness. While we are PC in Norway it seem even more so in Sweden to the point of driving Norwegians nuts at times. It seems like in Swede everybody has to declare themselves feminist. Although I guess we Norwegians can smugly claim that we are already on our 2nd female prime minister. In fact the present 3-party coalition in Norway today is headed by 3 women. I must say I was very impressed by what a warm welcome Sweden gave refugees. Swedes have big hearts but I fear Sweden might have overdone it this last time and made a lot of problems for themselves. 5) I LOVE the Swedish language!! It sounds so cute and it is so melodic. Songs sound so good in Swedish and Sweden has much stronger song and music traditions than us for some reason. I love going around talking Swedish at home but it annoys my kids.

Dette var veldig bra

Interesting and funny to see this from your point of view :) ut på tur, aldri sur

We in Spain use a very frequent expression for someone who leaves the place without doing something that is assigned to her or him, ej. work, house work, any kind of task,( pretending he/she didn´t know) or also pretending he or she don´t understand something, but knowing that the person is aware of that. WE say ( no te hagas el Sueco) it means, don´t pretend to be Swedish, don´t play Swedish. The point is, you ask to the spaniards the origin of that expression nobody know .

HAHAHAH when you say " ut på tur, aldri sur" made me so fucking happy :D

I just love this guy,s 🇸🇪♥️🇧🇻♥️🇩🇰♥️🇫🇴♥️🇮🇸

One stereotype that a lot of swedes have about Norway is that everyone is nice there lol. To us Norway is like the Canada of Scandinavia, I guess you could say. I think this derives from that Norwegians always sound happy and therefor we make the connection that you're very friendly too.

I’ve never been to Sweden nor Norway. It’s 2am I don’t know what I’m doing here but I really enjoyed the video!

Love when you talk Norsk

In the midwest we heard the poem called battle of Copenhagen.

Skam is very popular in Finland, too.

Omg elsker dette 😂
