Deret this

Swedish is overrated tbqh

They're all the same language.

>otteoghalvtreds

Norsk.

No potato down the throat, like Danish.
No potato up the nose, like Swedish.

Icelandic sounds really musical to me.

I unironically like danish. Put 5 fingers in mouth and speak swedish from your throat and you got danish

I used to think Norwegian was more Norse and less Swedefaggy but it has come to my attention it is basically a Swedish dialect.
On the other hand Icelandic seems cumbersome with all archaic rules and spelling.
A true Scandinavian language should be modern but anti-Swedish.

finnish

we've got cool welfare, blondes and succes

why aren't we in there and why is canada??

>why aren't we in there and why is canada??

Because you can't into hockey very well

There is only one scandinavian language, all of the others are just terrible copies.

this tbqh
*authors note: finnish is not a scandinavian language

Danish sounds gross and Norwegian sounds retarded

Danish because my ASMR waifu is Danish

Icelandic is the father of nordic languages.

Danish and Swedish are the incest brother and sister, and the retard incest child is Norwegian.

Finnish is the sperg brother.

Finlandssvenska sounds less faggy than all of the Scandinavian.

Norwegian, because it serves as a base for speaking both Danish and Swedish.

To speak Danish you speak Norwegian whilst gargling potatoes, and to speak Swedish you speak Norwegian whilst gargling cum.

So Norgays love to gargle potatoes and cum? What a bunch of cucks.

>Swedes in charge of reading comprehension

>What's the best scandinavian language?
Finlandssvenska/Fennohswedish

>Icelandic / Norwegian

>Danish / Swedish

>that weird-ass accent of swedish that makes you sound like a gay retard

>That disgusting accent of Norwegian that they speak in the eastern region, probably because they are so close to the one above

Danish is lower because of retard counting system. I won't hold my personal opinion against Danish. Swedish is lower because they can't take care of their country.

If Danish sounds too much like they're choking on cock, Swedish sounds like they're all flamboyant homosexuals, Norwegian is a good compromise.

Finland isn't in Scandinavia, and Finnish sounds like the retarded child of russian, polish and something else anyway.
Icelandic is the closest modern language to old norse, so there's that, it's alright.

>whatdidtheymeanbythis

That's the normal counting. Danes count like this:

marijn.org/everything-is-4/counting-0-to-100/danish/

Completely fucking retarded. Mind-boggling how fucking stupid it is.
>inb4 I am stupid because I don't understand

i don't understand your confusion
it looks normal - they add sufixes and after 20 they do it like germans and czechs

wtf why are their numbers backwards, 36 is six thirty

Icelandic by far.

That is actually not uncommon, old people count like that in Norway too. I think Germans do it as well.

After fifty. They start doing this shit where instead of just having a word for fifty, fifty is relative to something else.

I think all of the Scandinavian languages are lovely. Much better than the faggy Romance languages

Shut the fuck up your counting is retarded too. You say 25 like fem og tyve instead of tjuefem.

That is common in other languages, but is not common in Norwegian anymore. See my first post where I consider eastern "Norwegian" to be the worst part of Scandi languages- they are the only ones who do.

>tyve
:DDDD
that's the thing you wipe your ass with in the army

It's only pronounced like that in half the country I think. It is written and pronounced "tjue".

>being this fucking obsessed
>literally defining everything by Sweden and Swedish
kek, stay rustled Pekka-Juha

I see. I've only been to Akershus, Oppland, Hedmark and Tröndelag.

english

that means thief here, oh god your language is cute

haha, "thief" for us is "tjuv" or more commonly "tyv"

tjuv is the proper word here as well but in the most obscure dialects it's pronounced tjue

>speaking the language of capital region colonial oppressors
not even once

youtube.com/watch?v=cLnN-HIAC2c

idd, norwegians using royal danish spelling but then retardedly morph it to the degree of having to change the written language is just an insult to the real language desu

i dislike the danish counting system, luckily i know it by heart because im native. still gotta say its a bit cheap to dismiss a language just because 1-100 numbers are weird (t. Dane), as most agree that french is a beautiful language while still having the whole quatre-vingt-dix-neuf shit

after reading this thread I can conclude - you're all bunch of balkanlars

I'm not dismissing it, just rating it slightly lower than Icelandic and Norwegian. It has some good qualities too, but I can't enjoy them because of how it has affected Norwegian and taken away from what could have been my language.

What do you mean?

Saying tjuefem became a thing when you had to tell the woman at the phone central which number you wanted her to hook you up with.
It was in order to reduce errors. Fem og tjue could mean "25" or "5 and 20" depending on how you said it.

Saying fem og tjue is more of an age and contextual thing than a regional thing.

I'm from north-western Norway and I say fem og tjue if I'm talking about a persons age.

you're the same, but separating on made up premises

At least we don't pronounce consonants as if they are vowels

Okay. I guess I am making an effort to close this gap then, I'm unironically eating sunflower seeds from Lithuania, wearing a Zydrunas Savickas t-shirt from Lithuania and drinking kvas from Estonia.

Aye. We also hold the world record for number of wars fought between two cunts. Not even the Bongd and the Frogs have raked up our numbers.

We won, btw.

>inb4 danefag butthurt

Friendly reminder that we have conveniently placed a nuclear reactor next to Copenhagen, would be a real shame if something were to happen to it...

consonants like r and g are often used to indicate a vowel change or the beginning of an open vowel.

I imagine the norwegian intellectuals had trouble figuring that out when we sent our dictionary across the sea ;^)

I'm not talking about written Danish.

Spoken Danish is like hearing Arnold Schwarzenegger doing a bad Schwarzenegger impersenation

>norwegian intellectuals

So Norwegian then. A proper, radical Norwegian dialect, not like those faggots in West Oslo.

How about more of a northern dialect?

youtu.be/995-MkPpUYo

Or just normall ass Norwegian, but slightly north of Oslo.

Well said.
Also I fucking love this film.

norway and denmark are pretty shit at hokkei tho

it's only sweden and finland that are good nordic hokkei cunts

>tfw english is literally a nordic language
anglistika.upol.cz/vikings2014/

>Finnish sounds like the retarded child of russian, polish and something else anyway
wtf Finnish is not even in the same language family as those
You will regret this.

norwegians and danes have never in their lives heard spoken finnish and just assumes its some slav shithole

finnish still sounds fucking retarded

b-but we're your Nordic brothers
t. Cai-Göran

No we don't you fag. The retarded norwegians think it's scandivian language and the normal people know it is different family from scandi and rus

feels good

I was in Manchester last year, and they totally have some Nordic sounding dialect.

do finnish and estonian have similarities?

Why does it look like a penis?

>tfw castrated

northern english dialect still uses a lot of norse words like addle and eyupp

we wuz vikangz n shiet

Finnish language is the only language a nordic man should ever speak.
Also Norweigan, Bokmål or Nynorsk?

>addle and eyupp
what that mean doe

t. pekka pekkalainen

Urpo plz

>Addle
Kinda looks like how they say 'alle' (everyone) in Stavanger

Bokmål. Nynorsk is a meme that never caught on.

Whichever I feel like when I begin writing.
I really wish there was an auto-correct for NN for Chrome, though, the spelling in NN is a bit less intuitive.

Is there a tutorial for learning Norwegian if you already speak Swedish? What are the biggest differences except some words?

Hard to say which is best. Danish is just retarted, so it leaves Norwegiand and Swedish, which are so close to each others that the decision is pretty much irrelevant.

Yes, we can understand each others to a point. Eesti more us than we them (I hear).

Honestly, I don't know enough about Swedish grammar to tell you.
We sort of just learn to understand it through Astrid Lindgren and Swedish shows and movies from the 90's.

There's a myth going on as to why it's easier for Norwegians to understand Swedes than vice versa.

It's simply because Norwegians growing up gets exposed to much more swedish in media, music films etc. than the other way around.

Makes sense. That's why we all speak so much english, after all.

No mention of faroese :(

addle means to earn a living
ey up originally meant "watch out" and now means "hello"

FÆoerne ud!

scandinavian languages are boring

They are like English but all the words replaced.

at least norway and iceland have those nice weird O's

If you can speak swedish you can understand and communicate with both danes and norwegians, finnish is a whole nother ballgame and islandic is spoken by like what, a million people?

>tryharding for countries that aren't your own
>Canada somehow self proclaimed honourable mention
>Only viable root is England yet less English than the English that don't get mentioned bc they arent Nordic

You have snow but so does northern china

why are you replying to a fucking leaf

>islandic is spoken by like what, a million people?
more like 350k

didn't he base one of his other languages on Gaelic ?
