As a Norwegian, I take my perspective on this from a German friend that I made while living in Moholt student village in Trondheim many years ago now. We still have some contact today. He was my neighbor and he also made friends with Germans that have lived in Norway for years. So his thought on this came from the experiences of both him and his German friends in Norway. He told me that a typical way for Norwegians (and other Scandinavians) to make friends is to keep new people a bit on a distance in the beginning. This means that you as a foreigner can talk to Norwegians but the topics are not so personal and you are not likely to be invited to their home or their parties. This is probably what many foreigners think make Norwegians a bit cold and rejective. But the thing is, you are being "tested". You can say that Norwegians don't like to invest too much social capital into people they don't know well. To be known well may take some time. My German friend say that i take around half a year before a Norwegian invites you into their home and life. When this happens you are "in". Meaning that you are approved and you may experience a close, long lasting and warm friendship with this Norwegian. So, Mon's tip about being patience is a good one. If you give up too early on a Norwegian you like, you may miss the chance of a good friendship. This may not be what students who plan to stay in Norway for only six months want ho hear though... However, you may find Norwegians that like to make friends in a faster way, it depends a lot on who you meet.

@Gameviewsblog4 жыл бұрын
i personally disagree, i've never, nor ever met anyone who's "tested" others, not saying you're wrong, i just don't have that experience. But reading this, i asked a couple of foreign friends and they said it is harder to make Norwegian friends, but they felt like they got back as much as they gave if not more, so they recommended, being honest and open and invite the people you meet and converse with to ask questions about you. They said that it sounded strange it took your friends months to get invites into people's homes or to parties, it took them (different answers, group of 4, two dutch, one american and one swede) a few days up to 3 weeks for that. But they agreed with the nature of the relationship you described, you get a warm helpful friend for life. I don't know, i'm from Vestfold, the American and Swede i know live there, the Dutch friends i made in Rogaland, but they describe the same thing.

You know what I think is weird from my point of view. You can have a loyal big friend but you can also can have friends that you can enjoy life like having dinner and wine together in a restaurant, go to the movies and talk about the movie or whatever, talk about what is going on in the world and/or your country and of course Norway since you are living there things like that. And with your loyal big friends you talk more about your personal life but of course about all the things I said you can talk to the new friends that don't need to be tested. The only important when you make friends is that person/persons is/are easy going and nice to spend time. I really understand why it takes time to have a friend like this. To know about another ways of life, another cultures open your mind.

Hmmm, I use to work in both Sweden and Norway and easely got a lot of friends. But I think there is a couple of things to realize. You walk in on the speaking English, expecting them to chat along in a language that is not theirs. Think about it if someone came up to you and bombard you with a language you learn somewhere but not really is yours...They feel insecure on how they sound or protrude doing that. That is why you need to take some time with it even if people in Scandinavia are really good in English. Then it is culture. This is people that come from smaller , hard working cultures where a " friend" is something deeper as you mentioned. Almost a family member. The value of having "friends" in a superficial way may not be very meaningful to most of them. But once you are "in". You are really in, and it is forever.

You form groups and kind of like a high school tv show everyone just sticks to their group instead of living all together .... i guess, it’s hard to explain. I am from Portugal too and I think that we also treat friends like family and some they do become part of our family . But I think that we are just much more open to both Portuguese people we don’t know but also immigrants. (not everyone of course but most people). in Portugal I am 8575838% more likely to have a small 5 minute convo with someone I have never seen in my life. And I love that. I don’t know what it is but the further north you go the more you get people who are just more in their own life . However I know that Brazilians for example are even more open then we are and sometimes said the exact same thing I said about Norwegians.

Yes and what you say is about what the girl in the vid say. Yes Norwegians have been under Danmark rule for some 300 years, in a more or less forced union with Sweden, always smaller then the others you know. Walsed over by the Germans twice. This people are a bit sceptic to outsiders from being molded like this, that is what I think. Clannish and tribal. Did you know Hitler used a week to take Holland and one day to conquer Denmark. In Norway people with antiquated arms give Hitler headache for 3 months. And yes, they are fairly nationalistic to. How it is, take or go somewhere else I guess ? :-)

Your point about dugnad is really good! I've always had a hard time making new friends, but once I started doing dugnads or volunteer work with others, I started making more long term friends. Like, we Norwegians love having a reason to get together - especially if we're doing something good together. Getting to know people through voluntary labour is something completely different from getting to know your colleagues
@oliverschubert82424 жыл бұрын
Personal opinion- Norwegians, I think have less small talk during intervals of conversation. The silent periods between conversation enable deeper thought of discussion, that can be formulated most effectively to the other. Cultures in warmer climates tend to fill silent gaps in order to show connectedness and interaction, whereas colder climate cultures rely on trust during „silent gaps“ to think deeply before sharing their thoughts with other, hence the longer time taken to become close friends with Norwegians. Just another way of looking at it....

Hey, i'm a Norwegian and I agree with almost everything you said. The exception is the part about being afraid to show off your home. I'm not quite sure if you're thinking about overly decorating for an occasion that is not special like Christmas or something, which I agree with if that's the case. I.e if you invite someone over for a home cocked meal and you've gone to excessive lengths to decorate, candles and stuff would work for sure though. However if you're talking about showing off your home then i'd say it's the opposite. I've seen many places where the owner will give a tour and talk about everything he's proud of and go into a little detail, while also contemplating what he considered and what he might add in the future. This goes a far way for making conversation and more often than not the one visiting will be very interested and enjoy the conversation as he adds input, questions and praise. I love being shown a house or cottage and get a walk through like that, even more so when the home is impressive.

6:40 i mean, i bet it differs between Norwegians, but at least in my family, i'd say it's because we have a tremendous respect of personal space...because we expect the same in return, so when there's pause in small talk it's because the topics are being considered instead of just spouted and apologised for later if we overstepped or if they ask something uncomfortable in return. It depends on how close we are to the person and how much we trust to share of ourselves to them. It's the same reason you don't find people just looking you in the eye on the street, they don't really want to engage with you or take up your space....because they don't want you to take up theirs and feel like you have to engage with them. Here's a little experiment; watch Norwegians in the street, if they look at eachother, notice that they look away pretty quickly, however, watch a door or elevator somewhere, and you'll notice if 2 strangers meet eachother in the door or one holds it for the other, they feel they're so close they HAVE to engage, and will often do a nod and hurry away or say something quick and dismissive, like "thanks" or "hey" and walk. It just comes from a respect of others' time and personal space, because these same strangers CAN stop and just chat to the other and they will most likely engage back in conversation. So we're both very unapproachable and very approachable at the same time, if you break through that initial "shield" we're more than happy to chat if we have the time or inclination (meaning if you're on about something weird or too familial, we're more likely to go "eeeh ok" and walk away) Example: meet in door "oh, sorry, hey , do you happen to know the way to the nearest grocery store? maybe the closest Kiwi?" "uh sure, the closest would be down that street, but if you want the closest kiwi, that's 2 blocks north and two lefts" "ah nice, thank you so much" "ok? anything else? (with a polite smile)" "Nope all good" (polite goodbyes) Example 2: Meet in door "oh, sorry, hey, i dont think that hairstyle suits you very much, is that gel?" "eeeh ok" Walks away
@alessandraabruzzi3 жыл бұрын
To say "oh, sorry, hey, i dont think that hairstyle suits you very much, is that gel?" is impolite all over the world. To hold an elevator door to another person is a implicit rule all over the world. You don't need to have loyal friends all the time. There are kind of people that are easy going, have interesting things to talk and so on. This kind of friendship makes your "world' larger. Living like you say is having a narrowed minded.

I have heard this elsewhere so I don't question it. But as an American and Cuban descendant, this is veeerrryyy hard to get used to. We are accustomed to talking to people as if we have known them for a long time. And it is not unusual for people to go to the parties of strangers. And also, we are discouraged to be introverted in conversation and social situations.

Americans do a lot of small talk and smile or give compliments to people they have just met to show openess but in Europe, expecially for scandinavians people, this behaviour is perceived as pushy and overbearing. I am from Italy but even Italians dont impose themselves on strangers or instantly begins that useless chit-chat with a random strangers in the street because we want to keep to ourselves. In America small talk is seen as social duty, in Europe is not, we are not unsocial we just dont talk to strangers, we share our opinions with our real friends.

Norwegians are for the most introverted and dont like small talk and might get annoyed if your the guy or girl that always initiate small talk(the rule dosnt apply for everybody of course there is a fair share of extroverted aswell) also many are content with theyr lifes and are busy with theyr own life/family/work. If you just engage in small talk with the purpose to try to make a new friend then most likely it will just remain small talk, if you really wanna make a new norwegian friend be direct and friendly and invite for a drink or dinner... norwegians are very curious about foreigners and theyr culture.

Mon Amie. You are quite correct that our bonds is from our teens age friends and no "need" anymore. We do not need the shallow "chit chat" shite that yours down there call a "social life" where all your "friends" is a turn coat at any time. IF you want to really be a friend to a Norwegian you need be around for quite a time, always be positive, if asked to help, BE ON TIME! If later ANY occasions.. BE ON TIME. If not it will be regarded as "sloppiness", "careless", no ""self control". Harsh? Nope. If be on time is difficult for you, then god help the rest. Despite our country land is bigger than England we're few and only survived because of the potato and the Northern "klippfisk" (Bacalao). Untill the oil... So we could not afford loose "chit here and chat there". Almost half of us fled to the USA or other places during the mass emigration 1850 to 1930. Now still, be a "friend" is a serious thing, not "chit chat". You have to earn it. But once "inside" you are safe and have true friends in thick or thin. Be patient :)

I really want to have some friends from Norway because I'm very keen on this country, but I live abroad. Do you know some places, where I can meet Norwegians online? I guess it can be hard...

Hi! I think you was born in the wrong country cuz you sound and look more like a Norwegian 😀😀 yes! It takes time to make friends bcoz it means something more than just knowing that person for some time. More integrity means you are there to live and not just staying.

I like the Norwegians who lived outside of Norway, in warmer countries. There are more like us. Being friends with someone doesn’t mean you have to love them and invite them for holidays and stuff. I think when people say Norwegians are cold it’s because for you it’s like level 1 - not a friend just someone you know and then boom 2- Bestfriend. Where is that guy in the middle. That isn’t there for you always but during the most important times. Am I right or wrong ? Just wanna know what you think?

Ohh and in my opinion no she wans’t born in the wrong country. If you like her for the person she is right now than great so do I but know that she would be completely different if she had Norwegian parents and was born in Norway.

The Portuguese Patriot I understand what You are saying here and of course I know that she is not born in Norway I got that. I was saying it more like a complement for trying hard to be integrated into the society and being friendly and that’s why I put some smiley faces after. I was also saying it also bcoz I am a Norwegian and have been in Portugal several times before. So it was not in a bad way either.
@kizombahot4u394 жыл бұрын
The Portuguese Patriot Let’s say you have 100 people in your circle of influence and then how many of those people would call friends and then who would you call best friend . For me that takes time to build in respect, mutualities, understanding, trust and so on. And yes I understand what she is trying to say in the video for other people to understand how the society works coming from outside. So then again- it takes time to build friendship.
