The cucumber has cancer. It is terminal. It is uncurable. The sadness is real. Best piece of writing of all time, 12/10 -New York Times

Haha she speaks better swedish than him. I'm not even joking.

This girl is very pretty

Well the dude speaks Scanian, which is a very particular dialect and quite different from Standard Swedish, so this isn't very informative to people who have never heard Swedish or Norwegian before. Standard Swedish is way more similar still to the Norwegian that the girl is speaking.

i love the fact that she speaks better swedish than him

Moar Swedish VS Norwegian!!

This was Norwegian vs Danish.

This is not much of a challenge they are very similar anyway.

I'm swedish and live in Bergen. I love the bergen accent! BTW: I'm also from Skåne, from the same region as Martin.

Just spent 6 months in Norway, and I was really surprised about the similarities of the 3 scandinavian languages (sorry Icelandic), like... reading swedish or danish is quite ok for me, and even speaking with Swedes ! It's really almost the same, which is uncommon for a french man, considering that even spanish and italian is far from being that similar to french (altough we can read it pretty much). Although, I dunno why, I think Norwegian sounds a bit better !

hahaha "The cucumber has cancer" I'm a horrible person for laughing at that sentence

Haha. It's always funny to see you make videos with our dear Nordic neighbors. :)

It would be interesting to see Swedish, Norwegian and Danish together! (Maybe with some happier sentences?) I love how similar the languages are, but how different they sound! And I love the variations in accents too.

Loved it. When she spoke in the bergen accent, I immediately felt like I was listening to Eva from Skam ;)

I liked this one. I think your Norwegian friend did a pretty convincing Skånska if I do say so myself. I would love more videos highlighting the subtle similarities/differences in Scandinavian languages. oh, and if you are taking suggestions for video topics, I would like one about bicycle infrastructure (bike path, bike parking, bike traffic signal, bicycle underpass) just to see your take on this as you are from a region where biking is an everyday mode of transport. Or if that is too specific a topic, maybe you can explain in the comments your opinion the difference between a cykelvag and a cykelbana? They seem interchangeable to me.

Norwegian; Sorgen er ekte. Swedish; Sorgen är äkta. Icelandic; Sorgin er raunveruleg.

Sven (or Martin) please do more Swedish vs Norwegian but with longer phrases and that makes sense lol Thank you

Both are pretty languages but I think I prefer the sound of Norwegian more, even if Swedish is the more practical choice (number of speakers, etc). I speak French and German natively and want to learn Norwegian soon!

She's so pretty. Stole my heart

Den tjejen har koll på svenskt uttal. (That girl know swedish pronunciation well.)

When You said Drammen, I had a sudden nostalgia hit me. I lived there for 6 years. Now I am back in Hungary. Thank You for the feels ☺️

I'm a Spanish American looking to learn a Nordic language. I've decided against Danish (at least for now) but can't decide between Swedish or Norwegian. Could you guys tell me which one would be easier and/or more beneficial to learn in the long run? I love the cultures, history, and languages and would like to visit one day.

she is friggin' GORGEOUS.

I love the cameraman's accent and laugh lol

Very Interessting. Basicly it is more a matter of grammatical than sound differrences between Bokmal and Swedish, right? (If I may dar to suggest... )

really nice video, thanks.

Well that explains why your pronunciation is a bit different from what I'm being taught in my language course. Influences from Skåne. I can hear differences in pronunciation, but can't attach that to the different regions yet. I think that will take me several years of living in Sweden. Not to mention the really localized dialects...

I aced it all. A shame nobody witnessed it.

I have no idea how to speak any language other than English (American) and Spanish. But I love reading Swedish mystery novels (and Danish, Finnish, Norwegian etc) I'm currently reading a great book and one quick question. Does the name or word Mällvik mean anything? In this story the main character was bullied and his last name was "easy to make fun of". So what does it mean? If anything? Thanks

Hiii, where did you say you are from man, from which city in Sweden ? your Swedish accent is awesome!

She is delightful and her Swedish is perfectly beautiful to my ears, anyway.

This should be called Danish vs Norwegian since he is from Skåne

It's funny how sometimes they look like puzzled by what they have to say in the other language, like it was super weird, and then when they say the counterpart in their own language... it's basically the same!

Veldig bra!

Bring her again Martin.. Its realy nice to here Norwegian vs Norwegian !!! (KOFO??)

As a dane this was hilarious to watch.

So when did the Scandinavian language/ norse split into Swedish, Norwegian and danish

Awesome video.

Please.. More videos with halla

So, Swedish is tonal and they have different accents and words for some things... It seems to me that there is more difference between rp English and Scots or hoch Deutsch (High German) and Austrian German.

alltid roligt att se dessa klipp. og Helle er så utrolig pen ;)

Who came up with these sentences?

It's so similar no comparison it's the same

Norwegian and Swedish is like comparing Russian and Ukrainian languages and nationality.

OMG i fell in love with this boo😍

Swedish has lots of dialects as well. It is everything from the islands that once were Danish, Åland, Gotland, Skåne, Dalarna, Stockholm, Lappland and all along the Norwegian border (influenced by Norwegian) + more. Norwegian has 8-10 main dialect areas. Danish also has more dialect areas than you would think. At least Denmark had. They're now dying because they're so different from the most productive dialect which is the Copenhagen dialect. The most interesting thing about Danish dialects is the infamous "artikkel-grænsen" on Jutland which is where you find the frontier for the continental and British prefixed definite article. das Haus and the house. In South West Jutish they say/said 'a hus'. The same prefixed definite article as in continental European and British. In Scandinavian it is postfixed definite article 'huset'. 'Det bor en familje i a hus.'

It´s like comparing Spanish with Portuguese.

This made me.laugh a lot fo the fact i ve been learning.both svensk and Norsk for the last two years yes at the same time haha im german.btw so its crazy 😂

This is just a guess, but is the guy reading the cards Nackagubben?

She is stunning.

Difference between Swedish and Norwegian is like difference between Czech and Slovak or Czech and Polish. It sounds very similar :)

I think “dødelig” and “dödligt” have the same origin as the world “deadly”. All three kind of sound alike and the Nordic words have similar meaning to “deadly” in this context

Language continuum with arbitrary dividing line.

I'm from Denmark and I understand swedish and Norweigan/jeg forstår både norsk og svensk.

same same

Both languages are almost the same if I'm not mistaken at least this is how I found in this video

sometimes the languages are the same but you choose words that is different. I mean, you can say ”kräftan är dödlig” in swedish too.

Officially, as a lithuanian living in Norway 30 km away from sweden i laughed my ass off XD

It is the same... but different hahahah I'm happy to know

Without the black and grey, his sweater would be a colour template from which all the Nordic flags can be made.

They don't need English for communication. They can keep speaking their native languages and understand each other pretty good.

Det här är den först av din videor jag har sett. Jag nästan dog när jag såg inledningen xD

very funny

We all know why NIclas is holding the camera with just one hand: he's having some PRE-DINNER MAYONNAISE

what kind of sick sentenceare those ?!

Do they teach Bokmål in Sweden

Well this language lesson is a treat and a Ray of sunshine 🌞 and hope isn't it!🙄🤔

I just wish it had been more diversified. There were fewer words than usual. But I want moooore

Sønderjysk VS Svensk!!!!! Gør det nu!^^

Camera man's audio keeps switching from left to right..

Both are similar languages

Her Swedish is so good

Wait...was that Niclas from ROSMT behind the camera?

Wow the girl is so beautiful

My grandfather was Norwegian so I'm biased I guess but I love both languages

I speak some Swedish and I can understand a decent amount of Norwegian

I'm From Norway

Som svensk, förstår jag norska mer än skånska (As a Swede, I understand Norwegian more than Scanian).

I'm brazilian and I see that both languages are very close

She is very pretty!

Why do the short sentences for the languages that are practically dialects but do long sentences for the languages that don't even come from the same language group???

Are These languages The dialects of Norse (Viking) Language?

Interesting video. I noticed some similarities there. Similar diference between Ukrainian and Belarusian (84% of common lexicology). According to the official data, Ukrainian is more similar to Belarusian, Polish (70% of common lexicology), Slovakian (68%). Ukrainian and russian languages have 62% of common lexicology, it's less, but not strange. Because Ukrainian and Belarusian languages came from East Slavic, but the russian did not. The russian is more similar to Bulgarian (73-74% of common lexicology).

These are not fun as we are so similar and close genetically, linguistically and culturally being Scandinavian/Germanic and we all grow up being fluent by default in each other’s languages. I was never taught neither Danish or Swedish, but due to the exposure through media, music and TV shows/movies, I understand. Norwegian is closer to Swedish, and the majority of us has Swedes in our family, my aunt and my 3rd cousin’s husband is a Swede as well. Written wise, we’re basically Danish, but Norwegianified. Norway was also under both Swedish and Danish rule. We have over 100, if not thousands of dialects, and some was influenced by German/Dutch, and others Danish, Swedish, Finnish and Russian.

ok i have to ask this !! which of the two is the real land of vikings ?

Are the two languages are the same ? Can swedish persone anderstand the nervigian with out study?

who is hallemylady(real name)

Norwegian: *_SINGS FREEZING MOON BY MAYHEM_*

wow Swedish is very similar to Norwegian

I'm half Swedish half Norwegian. So which side should I choose

They should compare Skåne's Swedish and Bergen's Norwegian.

You are all so sweet :))

The sadness IS real! Poor cucumber :(

So terminal means deadly. Incurable would be chronic.

Sweden vs Spanish !!!!

Should be renamed "swedish people laughing at norwegian pronunciations"

whats up with the hand after every setence? xD

Guys youre so hilarious 🤣🤣🤣 like your video 👍🏻👍🏻 i just feel like norweigan sounds more elegant or kinda snobbish versus swedish 😜 and i personally like norwegian more than swedish or danish.

I’m belgian & this was very funny

+TheSwedishLad . Danish vs Swedish ;^)
