Guy in foreground says something, then guy in background laughs and responds.

I'm not a Norwegian learner, just a curious fella. I'm assuming it's just some friendly, inconsequential back-and-forth. Hopefully this isn't against the rules of this sub.

Thank you!

Hi guys, I‘ve been learning Norwegian for a short time and I‘d really love a Norwegian penpal so I can practice learning and also exchange ideas about the country, culture and so on, in which I‘m very interested as well. About me: I‘m a 31 year old IT specialist and I love music, cooking, travelling, my cats, sailing, hiking, motorbikes, old cars and motorsports. I‘d be happy to talk to you about anything and everything :) I‘ve only been once to Norway, I visited Bergen in February 2024. Soon I want to visit again! Looking forward to writing to some of you soon!

Hello to all Norwegian learners!

A few weeks ago, I noticed there isn’t much content on YouTube specifically for people learning Norwegian. YouTube is one of my go-to resources for learning my own target language, so I decided to create a channel myself to share what I find helpful. Since I’m also learning a foreign language, I know firsthand what can work—and what doesn’t. I base my videos on methods that I know are effective for me. So far, the feedback has been great, and people find it useful!

My videos have subtitles in both Norwegian and English. This channel is all about immersion—no grammar drills or verb conjugation rules here! I focus on simple vlogs about everyday activities, allowing you to see the language in use and learn it naturally. I also speak in my Western Norwegian dialect, which gives you a chance to hear something different from the traditional eastern dialect. Even though you don’t need to speak every dialect as a learner, it helps to get used to hearing different ones.

Feel free to check out my channel, and I’d love to hear any feedback.

Thank you for reading!

There's a song I like called Høyfjeldsbilde by a Ulver. The song has no lyrics. Google translate tells me it means "High mountain picture" although this translation into english sounds a little awkward. I was wondering if there might be a more nuanced translation that someone who actually speaks the language might be able to offer. :)

I’m a native northern Minnesotan Norwegian living in New York City. Last year I found it shocking that I could not find Lefse anywhere in the city - I even consulted the lone Norwegian church in Manhattan. I’m doing something about this this year because I know there must be other people looking for some too.

I’m making the best Lefse in New York City, and let me know if you’d like any! (Courtesy of my grandma’s recipe)

I wondered whether the translation was correct

Hello,

Im looking for a favorite norwegian cookie, candy or food item that I can order as a special gift for my friend who is Norwegian. If it is something I can order then that is great but any suggestions on cakes or cookies that I can bake that is authentically norwegian. Thank you

Why cant i watch norwegian tv channels? I need to prove i live in norway or something like that?

If you speak eastern Norwegian , do you understand northern Norwegian?

For people who speak Eastern Norwegian

Okay, I'm currently in the VERY early stages of learning Norwegian on Duolingo (English is my first language) and I CANNOT wrap my head around one particular concept. What is the difference between words such as katt/katten, far/faren, etc. when do I use which?

It is for Persons who speak Eastern Norwegian.

My grandma has always done this thing with our toes when we were younger. Toe… Toe tilly..Tilly toe..crogmuso, tee po. Just seeing if this a Norwegian thing. Trying to narrow this down

Hello! My wife’s family is partly Norwegian (her great grandmother and grandfather). We found an old card in a box from that side of the family and would like help translating the message on the back. It seems to be from her great grandfather and about his old hometown in Norway. Could anyone help us? We’d love to know what it says. Thank you in advance!

Not that I'd do this, but me and my friend were joking about how a mint brand in our home country (Icebreakers) makes packaging that looks hilariously like how snus usually does, then he asked me what the norwegian word for "to dip" (the american slang for doing snus), I don't actually know this word yet.

Hi, can someone help me understand this sentence?
Stundom er ho faren langt frå her (if context is needed, it's from the song Segla by Kalandra). I understand the sentence except the word 'faren' in the middle - it makes no sense to me!!

I hope some native speaker can help me!

Hi, my name is Alex. I am 21 years old and I am in need of some serious help! I am 21 years old and due to academic ventures I am now in another country. For some reason I will not get in much depth, I have not been declared to inherit my Norwegian nationality. I am over 18 years of age, and due to the lack of organization in papers, my parents and I have now settled down to start looking to apply for the verification of my inheritance of the nationality. My dad is very busy at work a lot of times, and I want to do the most research to basically sit down and look at everything we have to do to give this our best shot and actually have the form processed to receive my nationality.

Are there any procedures I should take in consideration, things I should watch out for in terms of not messing up the documents? Any people I should contact in particular? We are trying to do the procedure as effective and quickly as possible as we are facing other struggles. He is in Norway, and I am able to contact the embassy. What should I do?

Is there any Norwegian YouTuber that I could watch ? I'm trying to learn Norwegian but I don't have that much time so I'd like to have something entertaining that can teach me the language too for when I have a bit of free time. The only thing i did so far is Duolingo lol so I'm still completely new. I particularly wanna watch competitive games I don't really watch Animal Crossing type of games. Please not someone that talks as fast as XQC though 🙏

Når jeg lærer norsk på Duolingo, fant jeg en setning «norsken din er godt!» som jeg synes er rar.

Fordi det ser ut som norsk er en hankjønn substantiv, bør vi bruke «god» for å beskrive norsk? Hvorfor bruker vi godt her?

Samme med engelsk. Men hvis vi sier tysken din er «god».

Kan noe hjelpe å forklare?
