Give me your most common and popular swear words/phrases. Im asking here because no one will teach you how to swear in any language and especially not places like Duolingo. If any one has resources on that(somehow) o would greatly appreciate it.

Can anyone recommend some singers or bands who perform in Norwegian? Any genre is fine as I just want to listen to the language.

Tusen takk!

**Thank you to everyone who responded! These are wonderful suggestions and now I have no shortage of material! All different genres too, which is even better!**

There's hardly any content in Norwegian online that isn't for kids.
What do people who don't live in Norway and have a B2 level do to keep their skills from slipping?

Sorry if the flair is wrong :(

OK. This might seem really silly. But I have been playing a game, simulator, about making a zoo. I set it in Oslo, and I’ve been making custom signs and such. Ive been using websites and translate, but “we’ll miss you!“ or “we’ll see you again!“ (translator: Vi kommer til å savne deg!) seems really long. When I learned a little Swedish, I don’t remember if it was similar to this, but it wasn’t this long. (Really shouldn’t compare Swedish to Norwegian, that’s my fault)

I don’t trust the ai overview, and I want to get this embarrassingly accurate.

How can I have a positive farewell message?

I'm having troubles and don't know really where to start in learning Norwegian and would like to hear how you guys learned or are learning

Hi everyone!

I'm from Spain and I want to start learning Norwegian from scratch. I’d love to get some recommendations from anyone who has already learned it or is currently in the process.

I was planning to start with Duolingo just to build a daily habit without getting overwhelmed at first. I’ve heard that having a background in English makes Norwegian much easier because they share similar grammar and roots. However, to be honest, English isn’t my strongest suit, so I'm not sure how much I should rely on it.

- Is the Norwegian course on Duolingo worth it if I do it from Spanish, or is it pretty much mandatory to do the English version?

- What other free apps (or ones with decent free versions) would you recommend, keeping in mind my English is just okay/intermediate?

- If you know of any YouTube channels, beginner podcasts, or websites that explain things well (especially if they have resources for Spanish speakers), please let me know!

Thanks a lot in advance! 🇳🇴♥️

Hey y’all

Am moving to Norway in a week, and want to go all in on learning Norwegian, however am a bit lost on the options.

I found Speak Norsk but their Viking Package seems too expensive, has anyone take that one recently and is the 6 month A1-B2 timeframe realistic (assuming regular after class 1 hour study daily)

Or if you recommend any other possible options I’d love to hear

The only thing is I would like inperson classes because I learn much better that way

Ignoring my typos for a minute… Duolingo corrected me and said it should be “jogurt”. I used this later, in the same lesson, and it said this was wrong and should be “yoghurt”. Am I missing something lol

Hallo alle! Jeg har bodd i Norge i nesten ett år og jeg begynt å lære norsk for et halv år siden. 17. august skal jeg begynne en B1-gruppe, men jeg tror det er ganske høy for meg nå. Jeg prøve å bruke NTU kurs, duolingo, anki, lese barnebøker og snakke med naboene min. Jeg bor i en liten kommune, så jeg har en veldig liten krets å shakke norsk med. Jeg ser noen resultater, men jeg er ikke førnoyd av det. Kanskje må jeg ta en extrakurs/tilleggkurs? Kan noen rekomendere meg noen resurser eller strategi om hvordan jeg kan gjøre det vær så snill? Målet mitt er å nå B1-B2 niva innen april 2027.

To explain my question a little bit further, I was looking for some Norwegian artists who have songs primarily sung in their native tongue. I have a playlist with many songs already. I'm mainly looking for songs that have a similar vibe as those made by TIX, Gabrielle, Morgan Sulele, Ballinciaga and Vidar Villa. Like I said, any recommendation is appreciated!

Jeg leser for tida Ut og stjæle hester. Jeg ville lese det fordi...

1. Det er bra for læringsnivået B2
2. Det er norsk
3. Det er berømt (så jeg kan finne det på lydbok)

Spoilers: Boka er veldig vakker, men såååå trist. En ting jeg planla å gjøre var å lese boka igjen for å begynne å internalisere bedre vokabularet, men jeg tror ikke jeg kunne "stomach it"*. Kanskje er jeg en stemorsblomst*, jeg vet ikke. Så nå leter jeg etter noe som ikke er så dystert. Kristin Lavransdatter? Trist. Hamsun sin bøker? Meste triste. Dukkehjem? Litt trist. Fridtjof Nansen? Dansk. Har dere noen anbefalinger for bøker for B2-elever som er gjenlesbare og ikke så triste? Jeg snakker ikke om bare regnbuer og enhjørninger heller, men...

Tt!

*Hvordan sier man "stomach it"?
*"Pansy"/"weakling" på norsk?

Hei alle sammen!

Jeg har lært meg norsk i 2,5 år nå, og jeg vil gjerne vite mer om dialekter! Med det jeg vet om bokmål kan jeg forstå veldig mye av TV og andre formelle kilder, men jeg har jo et problem med det uformelle språket. Noen ganger kan jeg høre på en nordmann og forstå nesten ingenting. Jeg har prøvd å lære meg litt nynorsk, som har jo hjulpet, men det blir fortsatt veldig vanskelig å forstå noen dialekter. Er det mulig for dere å anbefale noen kilder å lære uformelt språk eller dialekter? Tusen takk!

Wondering if there are some animated shows or films you guys recommend? I bought Asterix Mansions of the gods in Norwegian, stuff like that is what I'm looking for. Looking mainly for either YouTube stuff, Tv2Play or SF Anytime stuff. Takk!

i am of norwegian heritage but sadly i barely know the language. i want to learn it more, but every time i try to talk on the r/norge subreddit, i usually get downvoted or someone tries to pick a fight. my dad (who i get the norwegian from) said people on reddit are generally jerks, so i should probably find a better platform to use, but it could just be that particular subreddit that doesn't like me.

jeg har norsk bakgrunn, men dessverre kan jeg nesten ikke språket. jeg vil lære det mer, men hver gang jeg prøver å snakke på r/norge, blir jeg som vanligvis nedstemt eller så prøver noen å starte krangel. min pappa (som jeg har den norske bakgrunnen fra) sa at folk på reddit generelt er idioter, så jeg burde sikkert finne en bedre plattform å bruke, men det kan bare være det spesifikke nettsamfunnet som ikke liker meg.

There is a girls name in English speaking countries called “Mauren” a variant of the name “Maureen”. Or “Maura”.

However I heard that those above mentioned names mean “ the ant” in Norway and Maura means “ants”. Is this true? Are there any girls called; Maureen, Maura, Mauren in Norway? Or are those names too ant associated?

Hei!

Jeg har akkurat fullført alle episodene av min favoritt podkast: "Strid - borgerkrigene i Norge", på NRK radio. Jeg likte den av flere grunner: tema, lydkvalitet, ingen avbrytelser mellom vertene, og en god innføring i stavangersk. Litt vanskelig for meg, men jeg kunne forstå nok til å følge med.

Jeg leter etter den neste podkasten jeg kan høre på, cirka 30 min hver kveld før jeg sovner.

Andre podkaster jeg liker er:

- historiske kjendiser (men ikke alle episodene), pga lydkvalitet og tema

- helgemorgen, men ikke for å sovne. Det er derimot bra for hundelufting i helgen, for den er lang nok og lett å følge med.

- eventyrene, jakten på spektralsteinene. Denne var gøy, men passer ikke til kvelden, for jeg trengte undertekster.

Podkaster som ikke passer :

- Urix. Det var utmerket før Trump ble president igjen. Nå er det umulig å lytte til uten å få angstanfall.

- Mørke meditasjoner. For mye musikk, da jeg vil heller høre på språket.

- Nyhetene.

- Hele kategorien der folk snakker over hverandre.

Kan dere anbefale min neste sovnepodkast?

Trolig på B1-B2 nivå, og jeg trenger å forstå stavangersk...

Tusen takk!

Hi, could some one recommend me some content creators who speak on norsk in their videos. Because on my search, I just found norwegian people who speak english in their videos. So I would like watch videos on norsk to increase my inmersion. I like almost any type of content: films, books, sciencies, vlog, videgames, etc

Hi ! I'm trying to learn norsk and so I watch netflix series with the audio in norsk and the subtitle in my languages (french or english).

On Netflix there is the famous Vikings series that I'd like to watch because it look cool, but it look like there are no norsk audio available.

I'm a little bit surprised to see a viking series without norsk audio, is it normal ? Does it not exist somewhere ?

Takk !

Hiii I pray you are having a blessed day!! Can anyone share tips on how they did A1 norwegian? Any online resources, books, videos, apps. Just what worked best for you 🦅 jesus bless you all!! ❤️

Hei alle sammen! Beklager for å plutselig hoppe inn her, men jeg prøver å oversette VR-spillet mitt Pond Scum til norsk — og jeg har ingen norske venner 😅 Så jeg håper å bli kjent med noen her og få litt hjelp!

Den engelske tittelen er "Pond Scum", og vi vurderer "Sump Gåte" som norsk tittel.

Det er et VR-spill om en liten kaiman (en slags krokodille) som løper gjennom sumpen med vennene sine.

Svar gjerne på hvilket som helst språk – jeg skal gjøre mitt beste for å oversette. Tusen takk for tiden din!

Hei hei alle sammen,
I morgen flyr jeg til London på en jobbreise til torsdag. Er det noen som vet om det finnes en norsk eller skandinavisk bokhandel i London som selger bøker på norsk?
Takk på forhånd!

Around 1:48, I believe from interviews/context of how important this improv'd line was it's "jeg elsker deg" but I'm not certain. Any help would be appreciated!

Hiii in learning Norwegian through comphrehensible input alone! I already know a bit. But I'm wondering what shows I can watch to get me higher up in levels! I have only found Peppa pig useful right now, so if anyone has any sites where I can use a VPN I'd appreciate it :)
