Do Norwegians really speak in this melodious inflection?Can any true norseman clarify?https://youtu.be/kAUNAGREHik
>>221039960Just watch Varg’s vlogs.
>>221039982Link?Viking TV series clearly faked it, and gave me a false impression of how they actually talked.
>>221039960Lived and worked there most of my life. It varies dramatically. Some have London accents. Others American. It can be quite jarring.Older folk or those from more isolated areas sound like typical scandis.
>>221039960It's just speaking English with Norwegian prosody (might just as well be Swedish). If it's that strong, the rest of the pronunciation would probably be worse as well though.
>>221040311Guess Hans Rosling is pretty close though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbkSRLYSojo. Propa Swedish accent.
>>221040374This guy does even more of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wz4O5hlFmyo. He thinks "stad" (city) is an English word and stuff as well.
>>221040473Oh wait, he says "Mariestad"
>>221040374Woah that's a thick accent I was watching this Ukrainian immigrant talk in a more subtle norwegian (osla supposedly) tone, there's the way she ends the words on a higher pitch, like she's singing in an opera. Amazing https://youtu.be/lR7_r37eAVc
>>221040603That's a characteristic Norwegian thing, at the end of sentences. Think it's restricted to the Oslo region. Jens Stoltenberg does it a lot too.
>>221040672>Jens Stoltenberghttps://youtu.be/EqxgJnPZsK8Lol, he really does. It's endearing, but hey even if euros don't like it, they say the faces make up for it.
>>221040867It's part of what makes Norwegian sound like jolly Swedish to us. You can't be angry in Norwegian.
>>221041314That's for the bump amreki, but i don't have anything else to add
