Reaction To FUN NORWEGIAN PHRASES

Added: 2026-05-12

[00:00:00]Today I'm going to be learning more about the Norwegian language by watching this video. It's called fun Norwegian phrases. So, yeah, I watch videos about Norwegian words, uh different things about the Norwegian language. So, yeah, interested to see this. You can tell me if you use these phrases regularly. Are they uncommon?

[00:00:23]Let's watch.

[00:00:25]I wanted to try and make a Norwegian phrases video for you all, but I've struggled with this for probably 6 months trying to make this fun and creative cuz it always turns into something really boring and bland. And that's not what this channel is about at all. So, so what I've tried to do today is to make fun and creative phrases that you might actually want to use while talking to like-minded people in Norwegian. 11, "I'm an innlingsdoktor." Of course, this is a necessity for any Doctor Who fan. And you can always have Let me see that again.

[00:00:59]A living ermine. Well, this is a quite difficult word. Innlingsdoktor.

[00:01:06]I feel like that's Yeah, that word there especially is quite difficult to say. 11 is my favorite doctor. Of course, this is a necessity for any Doctor Who fan.

[00:01:16]And you can always of course substitute 11 with 10, 9, War Doctor, whatever you want. One of my biggest pet peeves is that Norwegian translators always seem to find reason to try and translate names. Like literally Frodo No, with regards to Doctor Who, but is that popular in Norway? Is that a show that people watch? Obviously, being from the UK, it's like a popular show, but it's also very historic. It's been going for such a long time, but yeah, I'm not too sure of its international success. Say Say this one.

[00:01:50]Frodo Lommelun. O lommelun. O lommelun.

[00:01:54]>> Komlesnur. Komlesnur. So, yeah, like for movies like this, like Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, if you hear like maybe a Norwegian dubbed version, I guess would use these other names, so but you have different names for the actual characters. That's interesting. And probably worst of all, Max Snurp.

[00:02:17]>> [laughter] >> Max Snurp? That sounds like uh like a new burger at McDonald's or a new drink, some sort of milkshake or something that makes snurp. McGonagall?

[00:02:29]are some of the worst translations I have ever heard. Why would you want to translate a name? A name is an identifier for one person. It doesn't need translating. So, that's why you could just say 11 and then in English it's Dr. and Dr. Who fans will know exactly what you're talking about. Speaking of Harry Potter, Yeah, so that is pretty funny. I don't think I've seen that before. Like I've watched a lot of movies from different countries and things like that.

[00:02:56]Yeah, I don't don't ever have like movies dubbed I don't really listen to dubbed music uh movies, so I don't know if there's like they change the name.

[00:03:04]I've never seen a character the name be changed before. I wonder what do those words actually mean in Norwegian then? How do they relate to the original name? A phrase that any Harry Potter fan would want to know in Norwegian is "Jeg har lest alle bøkene."

[00:03:20]Let me see this again. Let me try.

[00:03:22]Yeah, "Jeg har lest alle bøkene."

[00:03:26]I read all the books.

[00:03:27]>> "Jeg leste bøkene før filmen kom ut."

[00:03:30]"Jeg leste bøkene før filmen kom ut."

[00:03:34]"Jeg leste boken når den først kom ut."

[00:03:36]Let's see. "Jeg leste boken når når den først kom ut."

[00:03:42]I read the book when it was first published. I guess these are yeah, very relevant to book fans.

[00:03:47]>> They can connect to any sort of book series or you know, any singular book that you would want to talk about. When it comes to the technical specifications of your computer choices, you can always say, "Jeg er en Mac-bruker." Jeg er en Mac-bruker.

[00:04:04]Or, "Jeg er en PC-bruker." Jeg er en PC-bruker. That's probably That's me.

[00:04:10]That's why I use PC.

[00:04:11]>> No further explanation needed, right?

[00:04:13]Some people tend to get a little bit offended when people talk about glasses like accessories. And if you're one of those people and you actually need your glasses to see, you can say, >> [music] >> "Jeg trenger brillene mine for å se."

[00:04:24]til å se Jeg trenger brillene mine. I don't need to hear that again, actually. That's good. Jeg trenger brillene mine for å se.

[00:04:34]Oh, that's difficult. Jeg trenger brillene mine for å se.

[00:04:40]Det er ikke for å se kul ut.

[00:04:42]Det er ikke for å e- I don't know how you say it. Is that more like an ooh sound? se kul ut If you're a Pokémon fan, you might want to learn the phrase, "Pikachu, jeg velger deg." Pikachu, jeg velger deg. As for you gamers out there, I've got your back covered as well. I would say, "Jeg er en level 90 blood elf mage." I don't know what that means.

[00:05:05]>> utstyr.

[00:05:06]And then I also, of course, want to add Burning Crusade var den beste expansion uansett.

[00:05:11]>> [laughter] >> Like I said, you do not want to change names because that just leads to confusion. And that goes for abbreviations as well. So, DFTBA is the same. OTP is the same. And all you really need to say then is "Det er min OTP." Det er min >> really heartstruck with the feels and you just want to express it, but you don't want to say it in English, which you can, by the way, you can say følelser Oh. Is that a real I guess I I was going to say, "Is that a real word?" But I guess it's when you really extend, I guess.

[00:05:39]Similar in Norwegian when you put extra letters, you can just do the same here, but følelser.

[00:05:45]Which is feelings in Norwegian. And of course, it always goes without saying that the language of the internet, such as as and and lol and omg, is never translated. That will be the same wherever you go. So, those were just a few fun Norwegian phrases that you might want to learn if you're interested in learning the Norwegian language and you want to speak contemporary Norwegian and not textbook Norwegian. If you have any questions related to this video or to anything that has to do Yeah, I'm sure there's probably a lot more words like that. Like, you can say modern language. You can tell me if there's other funny examples of that or cool examples of that. And what's the funniest name that you've ever seen translated to Norwegian or other interesting ones of that as well. Tell me about them.

[00:06:35]Thanks.
