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

i love the fact that she speaks better swedish than him

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.

Moar Swedish VS Norwegian!!

This was Norwegian vs Danish.

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

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

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

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

She's so pretty. Stole my heart

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

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.

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

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

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 !

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.

I love the cameraman's accent and laugh lol

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

Veldig bra!

really nice video, thanks.

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 ☺️

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...

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 is friggin' GORGEOUS.

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.

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

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

I aced it all. A shame nobody witnessed it.

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

As a dane this was hilarious to watch.

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

Please.. More videos with halla

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

Awesome video.

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

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

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

OMG i fell in love with this boo😍

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

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!

Wow the girl is so beautiful

She is stunning.

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

same same

It´s like comparing Spanish with Portuguese.

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

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

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

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

Language continuum with arbitrary dividing line.

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

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

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.'

what kind of sick sentenceare those ?!

Both are similar languages

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

very funny

I'm From Norway

She is very pretty!

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

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

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?

Man, Jag gillar verkligen din skjorta XD

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

You are all so sweet :))

The sadness IS real! Poor cucumber :(

Sweden vs Spanish !!!!

I’m belgian & this was very funny

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

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.

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

Her Swedish is so good

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

wow Swedish is very similar to Norwegian

Who came up with these sentences?

+TheSwedishLad . Danish vs Swedish ;^)

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

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

Do they teach Bokmål in Sweden

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.

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

spell tube

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

Norwegian: *_SINGS FREEZING MOON BY MAYHEM_*

So terminal means deadly. Incurable would be chronic.

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

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

I was waiting for Mr. Fox to make an appearance and i think is Norwegian!!!

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 half Swedish half Norwegian. So which side should I choose

Swedish humor is like the best.

oi dere snakker veldig bra norsk

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

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).

C’mon, everybody knows that skånska sounds way more OG and more of a cool Swedish.

Should be renamed "swedish people laughing at norwegian pronunciations"
