Danish: due (pigeon), drue (grape)

Swedish: duva (pigeon), druva (grape)

Dutch: duif (pigeon), druif (grape)

Afrikaans: duif (pigeon), druif (grape)

Frisian: duif (pigeon), druif (grape)

German: Taube (pigeon), Traube (grape)

A few notable outliers: English, Scots, Icelandic

So I’ve been taking Norwegian for a few years and am pretty good, I can read books and understand if someone is speaking to me. But today I decided to play geoguessr map games but with Norsk Bokmål(Norwegian) as my language. And I learned something wonderful. Norwegians call Austria, Østrikke, which sounds normal, until you realize that it directly translates to “Cheese Kingdom”

I love this language

That feeling when you slowly start to piece together/understand lines from a song in your target language. That “oh shit wait I get it now” moment

Podcasts for intermediate/advanced Norwegian listening practice

Finding Norwegian podcasts has always been a bit daunting for me, because I don't listen to a lot of podcasts in general, but over the past weeks I've discovered some that I really enjoy!

1. Lær norsk nå!

This podcast (norsknivå B1 – B2) cover all sorts of interesting social, cultural and political topics - coffee, the Cold War, right-wing populism in Norway, feminism, Sámi history, etc - as well as aspects of the Norwegian language 🔡 You can listen to all the episodes and find transcripts for them (starting with episode 5) here. The host, Marius, is originally from Nærbø (in Rogaland, near Stavanger), and speaks in both his dialect and also standard østnorsk depending on the episode.

2. Relax With Slow Norwegian

I'm a tinglehead (someone who loves listening to ASMR ✨), so I was super excited to find this podcast and Lene's YouTube channel! She speaks bergensk and has lots of great episodes and videos dedicated to learning Norwegian centered around a specific topic.

3. Norskpodden

An awesome podcast (norsknivå B1 – B2) with episodes ranging from grammar to salary negotiation to the the history of queer rights in Norway. Episodes and transcripts can be found here. I find the transcripts helpful, because the host Camila speaks at a quite natural pace (so it gives me a huge confidence boost whenever I can understand most of an episode without the transcripts 😎).

4. Nylig Norsk

This is a fun little podcast created by students at the University of Bergen. They speak a lot slower than the other podcasts here, which sounds a bit unnatural, but that makes it quite easy to understand (norsknivå A2-B1). The topics are engaging and there's transcripts here for each episode. I like the "city-trip"/regional episodes, and it felt really cool having been to some of the places they talked about! ✈️

5. Språktalk

This podcast isn't aimed at people learning Norwegian, which is good practice for listening to natural-sounding dialogue. The episodes are all about languages and linguistic topics, so if that's your cup of tea I highly suggest giving it a listen. They had a German guest for one episode who spoke Norwegian sooooo well, it gave me hope for myself 😂

6. Forklart

Forklart, another podcast that isn't aimed at people learning Norwegian, takes a topic from the news (sometimes domestic news, but more often international news) and breaks it down into a compact 15-minute episode 🗞 There is one episode every day, so if you're interested in keeping up with current political events in Norwegian, this is a great podcast to listen to! Although keep in mind that the podcast is run by Aftenposten (as is Språktalk), which has historically been a centre-right newspaper.

I don't talk about my Norwegian progress much these days (because I'm trying to maintain more than learn so I'm not really making any) but I've become a lot more comfortable reading nynorsk now. I used to hesitate before clicking on articles in nynorsk because they took that little bit more effort, but now I literally don't even think about it. So that's something.

Norwegian Word of the Day 14/02/24

skritt (n) - crotch

et skritt | skrittet | skritt | skritta, skrittene

Bonus Vocab

skrev (n) - crotch

lyske (m) - groin

kjønnsorgan (n) - genitals

penis (m) - penis

skjede (m), vagina (m) - vagina

livmor (m/f) - uterus, womb

livmorhals (m) - cervix

testikkel (m) - testicle

tiss (m) - euphamism/slightly more childish way to say genitals

And some more vulgar words...

pikk (m) - dick

kuk, kukk (m) - cock

mus (m/f) - pussy (lit. 'mouse')

å knulle - to fuck

å pule - to fuck

More Fucking Grammar

Note: knulle/pule only refer to the actions and aren't really used as random expletives the way we might use 'fuck' or 'fucking' in English:

If you stubbed your toe, you'd probably shout "faen!" (lit. "devil") or maybe "fy faen!" for extra emphasis (you can use "fy søren" as a euphamism if you're in more polite company)

If you want to use it as an intensifier (e.g. "that was fucking tiring), you'd probably use "jævlig" ("det var jævlig slitsomt") although I believe it's okay to use "jævla" too (don't quote me on that)

If you want to use it as an adjective ("you fucking idiot!") you would use either "jævlig" or "jævla" ("din jævla tosk!") Jævla is more like... you fucking IDIOT, whereas jævlig is more like... you're a shit person and also an idiot? I think?? That's the nuance I get anyway.

You can also just use "jævlig" on its own ("det var helt jævlig" = that was fucking awful, "du ser jævlig ut" = you look like shit)

If you're at an advanced enough level to read articles in Norwegian, you can read more about the nuances between jævla and jævlig here.
