Norwegian accents and dialects

His teeth are brighter than my future

As a norwegian I just have to say that your pronunciation and knowledge of the norwegian language is extremely good. This was really impressing!

This guy looks pretty Norwegian himself.

Guy: Your way? Guy: My Way? Australian: Nor way

what the heck you sound like a native norwegian

Those teeth are amazing. Just wanted to share this.

As a norwegian and a "bergenser", I'm actually really impressed by your pronunciation, especially the western and northern pronunciation! I find it so cool listening to Americans talk Norwegian bc I know that the english language doesn't have the rolling 'r' or scarring 'r'. Keep up the good work, bc your norwegian is really good, mate!

How cute you are! I love your smile when you talk about Norway.that shows your respect and love for the country and I love it couse it's the same that I have. I love your videos,keep on!

I´m from Ålesund in Norway, and i have to say i am really impressed by your accent! I mean u almost speak native norwegian, it´s almost freaking me out!

He's such a sweetheart!

Your norwegian is amazing!

Everyone's talking about dialect and I'm here like 'he's SO attractive' ...I'm here because of a Wattpad story tho

I found tord

Very impressed by your pronunciation skills. Most immigrants in Norway are planets away, hard to understand mostly any of them if they try to speak Norwegian. All Americans I`ve met and heard in Norway has this typical American accent. You did not, which I find very impressive. There`s one thing I would like to add when it comes to dialects, Norway has one of the shortest distance per dialects in the world. That basically just means dialects in Norway varies very quickly. A short ride and you can hear clear differences. One good example would be, but far from unique, from Kristiansand (where I am from) to Vennesla, a 12 minute drive and you actually need to listen closely to understand what`s being said. The difference could be compared to Norwegian/Swedish, with many different words and a clear difference in accent. But you actually don`t need to drive 12 minutes, 5-15 minutes in whatever direction you drive out from Kristiansand and it`s already accepted as a different dialect, and in some cases the accent is noticeable different too. This is more or less common throughout most of Norway, with the Greater Oslo Region being the only exception, even though there are differences there as well.

When you imitated the old man, it was extremely easy for me as a swede to understand!

I am a girl from Norway - eg kommer fra Bergen faktisk!You are describing our country and us as a people perfectly!From me you`ll get an A!

i`m from germany and we also speak a hard "r" but i can´t speak this beautiful norwegian "r". I´m going crazy ^^

Most wholesome dude I've ever seen I love Norwegian accent

At the beginning I was thinking the guy is Norwegian!

In Northern Swedish they chop their words in half too.

Impressing. Your western (Bergen) and northern dialects are way better than mine, an eastern norwegian (Oslo) :D

Omg you melted my heart when you said " Eg kommer fra Bergen"

That was really good dialect impression.

I must say that this guy is of extraordinary beauty, his eyes are not of this world.

Aww what a Cutie! I like him!

As a Bergenser I would say that your Bergen dialect is quite good.

Awesome job with this. Love the respect for native speakers.

I am from Norway, and you did those dialects perfectly!! By FAR the best english representation of norwegian i've ever seen! FYI 27 grader is like 80 degrees so there wouldn't have been 20 feet of snow :P

I'm impressed by your pronunciation! I'm from a Norwegian town called Harstad and it's a little north from Bodø and I think you sound almost Norwegian

I'm English and learning Norwegian and I found this video really interesting. You're really good at explaining this, thanks! 👍

If you have to generalize it then there are 4 main groups, North Norwegian (nordnorsk), Trøndelag Norwegian (trøndersk), West Norwegian (vestnorsk), and East Norwegian (østnorsk). Sometimes. But still inside those 4 are 50+. there is so much variation it's ridiculous.

Trying to learn Norwegian after about two years of learning Swedish, it's challenging not to speak in the Swedish accent so this was really helpful, thank you!!

Wow. For being an american, your norwegian is fantastic! Im impressed!

I wasn't expecting that when he started speaking Norwegian. Could have fooled me! Hørtes ut som en nordmann for meg! =D

Being norwegian and all, I have to admit that's just the tip of the iceberg. There's a lot more dialects. You didn't say anything about the southern dialects...

the way he said that he comes from Bergen in the bergen- dialect was actually really good!

so handsome!

pewdiepie but rich

WE'VE FOUND TORD MY BOYS

Im native norwegian, and your norwegian is very good.

You are actually pretty good in speaking norwegian! :)

This is very informational. I'm developing an interest towards Norwegian language, so thanks!

Wow, I'm impressed!

Being a Norwegian person, this is amazing-

han skulle kommet te finnmark så skulle han fått sæ en smakebit

I think this was really impressive! :) Very good observational skills and good pronounciation :)

I come from the mid part of Norway (Trøndelag) and we can have a really broad dialect if you know what i mean. Some people can have a broader dialect than other for example. English: My name is Leif. Eeastern norwegian: Jeg heter Leif. Not so broad trøndersk: Æ heite Leif. More broad trøndersk: Æ hæte Læf. That didn't have so much to do with the video but i thought it would be fun to tell you a little about from where i come from:)

That’s super interesting. Thanks 🙏🏻

I'd love to pet him - I'd bet he has really soft hair!

No reason to be ashamed of your dialects, you probably pronounce the way better than most Norwegians. :)

You got REALLY nice ear for accents, I'm impressed. Of course dialects and me haven't really gotten along....I'm from Aalesund, never visited Bergen but that's where everyone thing I'm from.

I'm from North-Norway and i can aproove your way of speaking our Dialect ;) You only missed when you said: Æ kom fra Bergen! It's Æ kjæm fra Bergen, wich means i come from Bergen ! But if you suddenly took a flight from West Norway (Bergen) to North-Norway and a guy asks you where you came from? Then you will say: Æ kom fra Bergen ;) I came from Bergen :D

he's cute

You nailed the dialects.

That was really good Bergen dialekt. I think you were very good! :)

Idk why I love Norway and Norwegians so much. I barely know anything about the country.

I found pewdiepie's long lost brother.

honestly im in love with him--

His accent is fantastic...

The only difference I heard from meeting Norwegians here in Miami was the Northerners (from Troms and Nordland ) said "Æ Kjem" where the 'Kj' had a shh sound to it , lot of Norwegian words have the K consonant sounding like Shh Unnsdkyld , Kylling etc

You have, dare I say, surprisingly good pronunciation. Wasn't expecting much from someone across the sea :P Ooo, dare you to try southern - Slow, laidback, danish-like, Northwestern (Møre/Sogn) With strong rolling R and a "downhill/negative" tone, and also Trøndersk - i can't descibe it.. seemingly random long vowels and heavely nasal?

I love waching american's talk norwigen, kinda funny. But he was good. :)

Brilliant, I'm Swedish and I couldn't hear any American accent in your three versions of "I am from Bergen" that you spoke. All sounded very authentic Norwegian dialect/language.

He's actually vrey good in my opinion, in pronouncing the dialects :)

you speak norwegian really well!

Wow, you're good! 😃

Oh wow!!!😲Your norwegian are so good!! Especially the northern!!😀

Very impressed Norwegian here! All the best.

as a Bergenser im proud of your attempt of bergensk

The oslo dialect has a lot danish in it from when denamark kidnapped our country and forced us to read and write danish instead of norwegian :)

I'm Norwegian, and darn you're quite good tbh ^-^

Bodø is more in the middle of Norway, Finnmark is the North which speaks a dialect closer to what Oslo does.

You speak norwegian better than most norwegians xD

wow! you are realy good! how long did you stay in Norway? the old man dialect whas so good! :O

If you want to learn Norwegian, I would advise you to learn Nynorsk. That way, it will be easer for you to undertand the other dialects in Norway.

I come from America and I wish to learn Norwegian. If I were to speak slowly, trying to pronounce every word, I'd fit in the North of Norway xD

Im learning norwegian on duolingo and i need the accent

Impressive work on the dialects, esp. the Bergen one. I was not expecting that - actually on the same level as the eastern kids trying to bring da Bergen-style

Really good norwegian

I am from Bodø and only the elders say "kjæm", the rest says "kommer

This is really fun to watch! Eg kommer fra Bergen btw ;)

Dude, you`re good at norwegian dialects! Better than any american i`ve heard :)

you speak very well in dialect :)

Impressive pronunciation of different Norwegian dialects

bodø is north........ right..... gotta take a trip to Finnmark:P

I am 1/4 Norwegian. I also would love to learn the Norwegian language.

wow, your northern-norwegian is really really good actually. close to fluent!

Kristiansand NORWAY and die hard LEEDS UNITED supporter 😊🇬🇧🇧🇻

..ja det va vintern i nittini.. :-D Thumbs up!

You’re right

Northern you don't use "kommer" we say "kjæm" in most of the parts. Like "æ kjæm fra Bergen", or some would say "kommer", but not chop it in half and say "kom", "kom" means come, not been or coming from.

really good norwegian!

I am amazed by how similar the Northern Norwegian dialect can sound to English. Just part of the Germanic dialect continuum I suppose

Dude! Your "Bergen" is spot on! :D "Eg kommer fra Bergen."

Well that northern dialect was one of the more "outwashed" types. I would say "E kjæm fra" but then I'm from a really small place... XD I have to say, your imitation of the dialects wasn't too bad tho, better than a lot of Norwegians xD I guess that old man was from either Finnmark or Lofoten tho, if you imitated correctly :p

Northern sounds like the beginnings of English, sounds just like "I come from"

Would totally belive you where from bergen ;P

Eg komme fra Bææææærgen! Very nice!

yes he looks Norwegian, but he looks and sounds mostly like a clean and wholesome Pentecostal young man. Am I right?

Just saying, Norwegian media, has to include so much of different Norwegian
