Don't care
Didn''t ask
Plus my waifu doesn't speak either
Adrian Wood
It's literally just Danish pronounced like West Swedish.
I dunno what German has to do with it, we don't understand you guys.
Jason Wright
Most of the syntax and many of the words are literally the same.
Jason Brooks
It's almost like.... the languages are related somehow....
Noah Flores
As if this was somehow unique for Norwegian?
And our grammar is probably closer to English desu.
Mason Evans
Modern English is just a creole language of old english and norse, with a bunch of french loanwords.

>Modern English is just a creole language of old english and norse, with a bunch of french loanwords.
Yup that sums it up pretty neatly. Couldn't have said it better myself.
Bentley Flores
English syntax isn't nearly as close to german as norwegian ist.
Eli Hall
What does Norwegian sound to someone like you who isnt a native speaker?
Ethan Reyes
That's the only problem I currently face while learning Norwegian. Sometimes I really can't hear the ending of a word (which is kinda crucial).
I can't really hear the difference between the definitiv plural and just the definitive.

I've studied german and you're high
Nathan Hall
German syntax doesn't come close to the similarities out languages have with english synmtax.
Ryan Myers
Brudi wieso
Anthony Reed
Because I had to learn it in school and no, I don't remember shit from it.
Samuel Nelson
Because fuck kasus, that's why.
Dominic Cox
uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh excuse me did you forget somebody?
Dominic Cruz
Plattdeutsch or frisian?
Angel Nelson
I think it sounds like this:
voca.ro
Very cheery, like western Swedish. But also kinda like you're, like our mountain dialects.
Samuel Cooper
platduits is easier for germans, frisian is easier for anglos
Nolan James
Very good intonation, but needs practice with skj - kj sounds. 8.5 / 10 points.
Logan Sanders
I guess old english was more related to frisian than low german? What would you imagine is easier for a norwegian? I think its sad that frisian is a dying language desu.
Eli Wilson
The trøndersk dialect is more masculine though
Jayden King
frisian is similar to danish so probably frisian
Benjamin Gray
>Very good intonation
Yeah I love that aspect to Norwegian, love listening to people like Ylvis, it sounds like they're singing. ^-^
>but needs practice with skj - kj sounds
Meh, was it the kjempegrejt thing? How is it supposed to sound?
Anyway, I can bet that you would never pull off a Swedish "sj" sound :D
Thomas Martin
>The trøndersk dialect is more masculine though
I really dunno much about Norwegian dialects. I've almost only been to the Oslofjord area and I feel like most Norwegians on TV sound like this too.
Juan Murphy
>was it the kjempegrejt thing?
Yeah.
>How is it supposed to sound?
Kj is more like a hybrid between tj and sch. Not as hard as tjenare, but more similar to that.
>Anyway, I can bet that you would never pull off a Swedish "sj" sound :D
My swedish ex from back in the day told me that what norwegians struggle the most with is actually the ln sound, like in måln. Because we don't have anything similar. At least here on the east/southeast/Oslo area, the L is very thick.
Asher White
>Because we don't have anything similar.
Weird, you don't have that anywhere?
>At least here on the east/southeast/Oslo area, the L is very thick.
It used to be like that in most Swedish dialects. But since German immigrants in our cities influenced the language, they became viewed as "non standard". So today, thick L's are considered "ugly". Really dumb.
Where was your gf from? If she was a northerner then she would've pronounced sj more lik you do. Otherwise I'm surprised she didn't bring it up. It's a sound that only exists in Swedish, literally no other existing language has it.
Josiah Watson
Anyway, what do you think about Skavland? Do you cringe when he speaks "svorsk" or is it half-decent?
Daniel Campbell
I speak German, English and Norwegian. English and Norwegian is similiar grammar wise, German and Norwegian is very similiar in vocabulary. Dutch or Norwegian is probably the two easiest languages for a German to learn. Danish would be hard because of the horrbile mismatch between the written and the oral language. Swedish is harder than Norwegian when it comes to grammar.
Sebastian Ramirez
Skavlan should hang himself.
Sebastian Baker
The pronounciation sounds very clear and I like the way it is intonated. It's probably the easiest scnadinavian language to learn and understand (Swedish is less regular and Danish is just incomprehensible).
