"piano" makes sense absolutely since it's a musical expression for "quiet", so if you play an instrument and on your note paper it says "piano" you play it not as loud as usual, pianissimo would be even more quiet :)

In german we have the phrase "Die Katze im Sack kaufen" and it actually means the same as in norwegian 😅

2:02 - We have piano also in german, but it is not very common. 2:49 - We say "Wucher" if something ist clearly overpriced. 3:30 - We have "Katze im Sack kaufen" (Buy a cat in a bag), which is a bit different, as it means that you buy something without knowing what it is exactly (for example buy a used car without test drive it before). It dose not mean that you get the wrong stuff, it just means that you don't know what you get. It might be what you want, but it might be also a complete disaster. 5:55 - In German "Licht aufgegangen" exact same meaning an illustration :D

Jeg har lært norsk i løpet av Covid-19 og synes at disse videoene er veldig morsomme! Jeg er norskamerikansk, men familien kommer fra Buskerud. det er så interessant læring Om norsk kultur kontra norsk amerikansk kultur. Elsker videoene!

After watching a few of your videos i can now swear in Norwegian better then i can form a sentance

Piano in music terms = slow, quiet, chill :) Best of luck with the last uni year, but first, happy summer holiday!!

"It'll cost you the shirt off your back" is a saying in English, and can mean very expensive in monetary terms, or a venture that costs you everything you own

I'm so happy you made time for yourself and glad to see you with the real smile greeted us at the start.

We say; "like shooting fish in a barrel". I means something is very easy

It’s so gooooooood to see you again. And I know that I love the future days with us. Thank you for saying you can DM.

piano is Italian and in music mean soft and is written p. on music sheet, it is how the piano, the instrument got it's name. It was invented by an Italian and was a harpsichord which could be played soft or hard instead of just being played hard like the harpsichord. I know a few culture and languages started using the word piano for saying "take it easy"

I've haven't watched u in ages xx glad to be back xx 💖💖

Good to see you back here!

Really enjoyed the video! It's always fun to learn new languages; so I'd DEFENITELY like to see a part 2 :)

Love the video Sunny, as a Brit learning Norwegian I find it interesting how similar the personalities and sayings are between our peoples

I love watching these kind of videos because it's so interesting hearing you speak in Norwegian Sunni! 😁

I am glad you are back.

Nice, in german we have „Die Katze im Sack kaufen“ - which translates to buying the cat in a sack and means you buy something without seeing it beforehand or having a clue about its condition. So its not the expectation but the fear that you have no clue what it might turn out to be.

Welcome back! I missed you!

Hei Sunny! I love watching your Norsk videos! Jeg er en amerikaner men jeg elsker å lære. Hope I wrote that correctly, I've been practicing and your vids give more cultural context. Tusen takk!

Nice video of weid and fun Norwegian sayings. I don't remember all the weird / funny saying from Brazilian Portuguese, but the most known (and funny) are: "Macacos me mordam" (monkeys are bitting me) = which means "To be intrigued or surprised", "Quebrar um galho" (to break a branch) = "To help someone", "Falar abobrinha" (to speak zucchini) = "To speak nonsense", "Vai pentear macacos" (Go comb monkeys) = "To tell someone to get lost", "Agulha no palheiro" (needle in the haystack" = "A something almost impossible to be found is found" and "Ter muita lata" (A lot of cans) = "To have a lot of nerve". And yeah, I'm doing good at the best way possible in this quarantine - taking all the precautions to stay safe. Big hugs and I wish you all the best to everyone.

I loved this! Would love to see more videos like this! Every now and again, I go back and rewatch the swearing in Norwegian video too! haha. I'm trying to learn Norwegian on my own and it is so difficult!

velkomen til baken good to see you back

In English, "pig in a poke" (a poke is a sack) means to buy or sell something without knowing its real value.

Here in Brazil we say the same thing as you said in Norwegian to "be chill". It's sounds like "stay little piano" in portuguese is "Fica pianinho aí"

Welcome back! :D

Yeey welcome back! :D

In italy we use "non dire gatto se non ce l'hai nel sacco" (don't say cat if you don't have it in the sac) and once a famous footlball coach use that phrase in english in live tv, who do remeber that is still laughing. but in Italy that means a really different thing: it means that you should never say that a thing is happening or it is done or else if it dis not happen or you not have the result yet! We also say "Siamo stretti come sardine" (we are tights like sardines) that refer to the fact that sardines are stipated in the can very very close and so are we in the room or the place. I'm so happy to see you again and so smiley :D

Welcome back sonny ❤️

Sunny, good to see you back on your channel. A month is too long to wait to hear from you. Gonna order more of your merchandise. It is high quality and very nicely designed Peace 2U StanTheMan

Finally, a Norwegian lesson video 🙏🏻😌

Sunny is back, yaaay! Good to see you back and thanks to the video I've realized there are a lotta similarities between norwegian and german. For example the phrase with the cat or light bulb. We germans say "I don't wanna buy the cat in the bag", meaning that you don't wanna end up buying something without testing it before, cuz otherwise it could be way different from what you've expected. And the phrase with the light bulb is exactly the same here in Germany. =)

Keep up these vids!

Sild is Atlantic herring in Norwegian. Thank you very much for making this funny KZfaq video! It was very interesting to watch. Beste hilsener fra Romania! Keep up the good work and plenty of success with your nice channel!

Sorry i am still to old to watch your videos, but i just enjoy your videos. Thank you for your work.

LOL funny Sunny Norse, Good Luck with Uni and your Merch is awesome. I liked this video yes!!!! :)

Hilarious! good video!

Part 2 please! :)

Loved the video! So much love from Mexico!

Полезное видео, спасибо, ждем вторую часть! Takk på det

there’s similar expression is Russian as “katten i sekken”. «кот в мешке» is literally a cat in a bag, it means an unpleasant surprise, as if you don't really know what you're buying. thank you for this video. that’s helpful

I love your videos, my great grandparents were from Sweden , and I realize that Norway is a ways away, but they seem kinda similar in a lot of ways

Congrats on the job! Totally use the phrase "hit the wall" and just "lightbulb" all these make total sense. Glad you are doing well. Don't have any social media myself, more outta pure laziness and not really wanting than anything, but right back at you for if you need someone to talk to. So yeah. Love your content good luck on your final year at University! Take care of yourself! Still working on my Norwegian but totally fallen behind unfortunately.

Awesome!!

mange takk great video

Quite a lot of these translate well in English, and we have our own versions too! "What's getting in your way?" Is like the road one, it just means that something is stopping you from doing something/living your life normally "The price of that will take the shirt off your back" (means it costs everything you own) "Buy a pig in a poke" (poke =bag) is kinda like the cat one, but it means to buy something without first inspecting it, like, you expect to buy a good pig in the bag, but when you open it, it is a really crappy pig, this would be kind of like buying a shirt without trying it on, and it doesnt fit you. "Packed like sardines" is like the fish in a barrel expression, because sardines are packed really close together in the tin can "To hit a brick wall" means to kind of, come to a complete stop, for example, writing an essay really well , then you hit the proverbial "brick wall" and struggle to continue

SUNNY! Welcome back, you were missed. Best wishes on the last year of university. The expression about the cat in a bag is similar to an English expression “let the cat out of the bag”. It means to reveal something that really wasn’t meant to be revealed. An example would be you know the date of a surprise party for someone and without thinking in a conversation reveal the surprise party plan to that person. That would be letting the cat out of the bag. Would definitely like a part two video. Keep up the fun content.

Hey Sunny! You haven't heard from you for a long time, I hope you're fine 😉. It was a great video again. I wish you a nice week dear Sunny 😘🥰.

Checked out some of your videos and it is awesome 😘💓😍😍😍

It's on the top of my bucket list to go to Norway. I live in Louisiana, USA

Be chill. Lol. I love it!!!

English has a couple related expressions to katta i sekken. To buy a pig in a poke is to buy something sight unseen. And, to let the cat out of the bag is to reveal something secret. Sometimes that poke had a cat in it instead of a pig. Also, for som sild i tønne, we might say we were packed in like sardines in a can. We also have the expression of shooting fish in a barrel, for something that is super easy, or a sure thing.

You are the best sunny ❤️

Yay finally you download a video❤

I will visit Norway the soonest.. 💙 Thanks for all your videos.. it gives me more idea what Norway is like. Sending love from Philippines 🇵🇭

Why did I think of Among Us when I saw the pet container on the thumbnail? Lol. Also on 0:31 you spoke with a perfect American accent.

It is my first time that i watch your video XD

Yeah that cat in backpack we use it in Poland. In eng it would be " buying a cat in a bag ", but in polish we say: " kupować kota w worku " :P

In Germany there is "im Weg stehen" (standin in the way) if something stops you of doing anything. Maybe related with "Hva er i veien"

We need more Sunny!!!!

In English, an expression for crowded is, "packed (in) like sardines." Did you know: sardines are packed in oil. The oil is more expensive than the sardines. So the cannery makes more money packing in more sardines than oil.

"Hva er i veien" can also translate to "What's in the way" which can also be used in english speaking countries

Yeah Sunny is back 😎❤️

We used in the Netherlands also katta a sekken but we said: kat in de zak. But means the same what you say if you buy something what directly destroyed or directly explode something like that

Welcome back Sunny! Always lovely to see your smiling face! 3:30 Katta i sekken In England we have similar, although it is a Pig. Pig in a poke (A poke is an alternative name for a sack or bag) See following for a list of other languages that use either a pig or a cat. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pig_in_a_poke

I’ve missed you Sunny.

We have in Germany four phrases with mean the same. ;) 1:54 - "Was zur Hölle" in german 2:05 - "Mach mal Piano" in german 3:31 - "Katze im Sack kaufen" in german 5:55 - "Da geht mir ein Licht auf" in german this four phrases means the same too. It´s really interesting ;)

An object in the road stops your progress so "what is wrong" makes sense

We actually have most of those sayings in German too. "Take it piano" for example . Tho it comes from Italian language from the word piano which means slow/quiet/easy. Or the "cat in a bag" comes from a fairytale or something as far as I know.

Yo sunny wassup m8 this some good content or wot innit

I love the cat one because to get a cat in the bag is basically a surprise since its but what you were expecting. And then the phrase letting the cat out of the bag usually means to announce or ruin the surprise.

Morsom video🤣

The first makes sense. "What's in the road?" Where i live we'd say "Another damn pot pothole".

Ayyyy love you from Bahrain again🌚♥️

2:02 in America we say "take a chill pill"

Congratulations with the job! :D

We love you too, Sunny.

Good video. Makes you wonder the historical origins of cat in the backpack. Did ancient Norwegians walk around with cats in their backpacks? Did the cats play musical backpacks and switch places to the surprise of their owners? Were the cats aliens? These are the things we need to know. Good to see you back. 😊

I'm from Algeria and I recently started to learn Norwegian (for fun) and it's such an interesting language !!! NICE VIDEO BTW ;)

Good thing to hear some norwegian im learning it and wanna move to norway actually if everything goes fine 😊

We have a phrase “you let the cat out of the bag” to mean letting a secret become known and by your description of “cat in a backpack”, it sounds like the origins are from the same source: unscrupulous medieval merchants where someone thinks they bought a duckling pig and get home and find out the merchant put a cat or some other thing in the bag instead.

"piano" is an italian word for slow or quiet (depending on the context). It's famous in the world for its large use in music when the notes are supposed to be played quietly. The english name for the piano instrument is directly related to the italian name "pianoforte" where "piano" means quiet an "forte" means loud

I remember when ur videos were so hyped, how could this happen? I hope you get back to your old views again

'Ta det helt piano' is interesting. Yeah we use 'Take it easy' which is probably as close as you'll get in English :D Some phrases we use in the UK is 'I'm in a pickle' which means you're in a bit of an awkward/uncomfortable situation. Another phrase is 'That's mental!' Which is basically like saying that's crazy! So yeah some weird phrases from the UK too :D And congratulations on your new job, I hope you enjoy it :D

If you ever travel to southern IL all those fraises can be simply translated to "Ope"

Sunny merch got swag

You are the best sunny😇

Nice video. Stay safe and healthy everyone!

A new video... Finally. Greetings from Germany 🤙

The light bulb idea is in English too. It is a cartoon trope to show a light bulb above a character's head to show that they had an idea. Also you might say to someone, "I had no clue what to do. I was just sitting and worrying and then, PING the light bulb came on." Not sure, but I would associate it with Thomas Edison having had a lot of good ideas (including the light bulb)

piano also means slow in music, not just the instrument. In germany we also have the cat thing, "die Katze im Sack kaufen"

Part two, part two!

I’m glad that you found a job! I think I’m about there myself!

Good luck with your new job.

"What's in the road?" could translate as "what is in the way?" therefore "what is blocking you?" I can see how that could become "what is the matter" but it kinda has to take a bit of a trip to get there.

Piano means slow in Italian, that's why you use it as "chill".

In Spanish there's "gato por liebre" (a cat for a hare) which means pretty much the same as katta i sekken, where you get basically scammed. Funny that there's that similarity

new video every wednesday and sunday

Way in English can mean road too, and the phrase “any way” can also be “any road” in Yorkshire dialect (maybe others) so the first one might be related to that?

Haha taking it piano 🎹 we kind of say y’all in every single sentence with you guys! We say y’all all the time 😂
