#Norwegian accent

@hahaha-darn-it

here are some very short clips i found of what an audibly norwegian accent can sound like, that i think is pretty accurate, but i guess it could vary on what dialect the person speaking has because there’s a huge difference in the different dialects in norway.

but these are the ones i found that i feel are most accurate of the ones i found, and especially the last clip when he says “that’s good” is accurate!

(also, the sound he makes right before he says that’s good is the word “hæ” and it’s kinda our version of huh but used mostly when you don’t hear what someone is saying)

Taking that long trip down my childhood to Grandma's Home

Written on August 20, 2016  · I have been thinking a lot lately about my grandparents. Probably because their home near Outing MN has been left to fall into disrepair and the last people to own the two cabins let them go into bankruptcy. The description of the second cabin does make me laugh because it is no more a rambler than my two story 1916 hip style Arts & Crafts is. It is basically a…

I'm Italian and a new follower, ever since I saw the region where Machete is from I can't stop calling him Carmelo in my head since it's a pretty common name there and Vasco speaks with a Tuscan accent in my head now( I love how they pronounce the letter C even if people sometimes makes fun of them for that)

It's always really fun hearing about any Italians that like my work and characters, because you guys obviously have the insider knowledge I (a Finnish person) am not privy to. If you say Machete looks like a Carmelo I have hard time doing anything but nodding and going "ah yes, sounds legit, you probably know your Carmelos better than I do".

I’m too fatherless to ever experience that disgust you feel about someone saying your dad is hot. As a Danish person, I do however feel that foreigners thirsting over Mads Mikkelsen and calling him daddy is the closest I’ll ever get to that feeling.

There was a fucking guy dressed as a skeleton with a pimp cane at the goth club tonight. like full head high quality skull mask. I watched him sit outside and smoke for like 10 minutes the mask never came off. I felt like I was in beetlejuice

I thought my accent deafness wasn’t so bad anymore… I was wrong. The whole conversation between Gwen and Brett I kept thinking “huh, he has an interesting accent. Can’t quite place it tho” ITS FUCKING AMERICAN

if you want to learn a language and have a library card, check if your local library has Mango. i just switched to it from duolingo and while it's not as game-y i feel like it explains things well so far in terms of grammer (duolingo did not imo), and it has plenty of languages!

i saw Icelandic, Greek (Modern, Ancient, and Koine), Irish (Gaeilge), Yiddish, Potawatomi, Scottish Gaelic, Igbo, Haitian Creole, Cherokee, Kazakh, and Uzbek. just to highlight a few i dont often see elsewhere!

it's even got Shakespearean English, and some quick courses like German for Oktoberfest, Mandarin for business, Spanish for legal and medical purposes, Russian slang, and Brazilian Portuguese for soccer events. these arent all of the quicker courses, but i thought that was really cool!

anyway im not paid, this isnt an ad, im just someone with an interest in languages and a love for public libraries who wanted to encourage you to check it out!

i first saw spiderbites post about how immigration = settling a while ago and did immediately get defensive about it tbh for the reasons you can probably imagine but its the same thing with privilege right like i dont think anyones even suggesting you have to move back to your own ancestral homeland, especially if its still hostile or youve lost your ties to it or dont speak the language. esp bc like some of us dont have ONE ancestral homeland im biethnic so where exactly would i go if that were the answer? its more about acknowledging that you benefit from living in a settler colony, whether its up to you or not, the same as how you benefit from being white if you are, also something thats not up to you. im from minnesota, a majority of my family is scandianvian, direct descendants from people who ousted indigenous people, took that land, and declared their own culture the representative of the region. its literally impossible to disconnect my identity as someone who was semi raised in minnesota, someone who is specifically of norwegian descent from that fact. the associated food, accent, culture with minnesota is fundamentally, scandinavian. its inescapable.

kvitebjørn review

- it's so nice to have just a straightforward 2d animated fairytale adaptation!!!!!!!

- it's doing its very best to be a disney renaissance princess movie without the necessary resources to be one. i commend the effort. the songs are tragically lackluster

- definitely a kids movie though. don't think i would recommend this to anyone in my age group unless they have a small kid or if they're some kind of weirdo with a particular interest in 2d animated movies or something,,

- when the hardingfele hits the soundtrack. that's the good shit

- the Heroine's Noble Oslo Accent vs The Evil Sorceress' Dubious Trønder Accent

- the backgrounds are sooo pretty

- ...valemon's human form looks A Lot like kenai brotherbear huh.

I need this fandom to start giving norway a Norwegian accent. If that man doesn’t sound like he’s bouncing up and down on a trampoline every time he talks I don’t want it.

[ifindus]

I can’t believe I’m saying this and I’ve been holding back but…..Norwegian actually sounds nice and good to hear actually 🤭🤭 tell Norway that

I'll make sure to tell him 🙏🙏 I'm sure he will be pleased, with Denmark and Sweden making fun of his language all the time

a couple years in the future, but not many...

colour key: blue = english spoken red = norwegian/norse spoken black text = language being masked by english so you can still read. see the borders for actual language. purple borders = norwegian/norse accented english (it's blue tinted by red) orange borders = whatever bat's accent is. while speaking norwegian (it's red tinted by yellow)

i am very normal about languages <3

oh my god Anya's backstory, it's so badd, I'm Norwegian and yeah for sure there were a couple of words, even sentences in there at first, but now she's just saying absolutely nothing like I'm 100% certain she's just making sounds

How similar are the Swedish and Danish languages?

I don't speak either so I'm probably not a fantastic person to ask! But as far as I know when the Scandi royals get together they speak their own languages or a hybrid because they are close enough that they can understand each other. My understanding is that Danish is the hardest or "most different" of the three when spoken - and there are some clips out there of Victoria gently mocking Frederik's Danish pronunciations - but they might disagree and I very much do not want to wade into the Scandinavian rivalry hahaha.
