As American we celebrate Easter in our own way. Today I am very interested to learn about what Easter in Norway is like. If you enjoyed the video feel free to leave a comment, like, or subscribe for more!
"Blow the egg"🤣🤣🤣 Love when things get directly translated, but end up sounding wrong😁 We don't blow on the egg, we poke a hole in each end off the egg and blow in one end to get the yolk and egg white out of the egg before we paint them😂
akuratt, vi blåser på egget... la meg gjette, du ble født kvinne?
Sant
It is strange how it is translated and how they see us Norwegians
"Krim" doesn't mean true crime, it means fictional crime. So the crime shows on TV during easter are fictional more often than not.
The easter crime that you see on the milk cartons are typically "who-done-it" crime. The comic will have clues, and you can send in an answer for a chance to win a prize. These comics are child friendly, so there won't really be any violence or murder.
Exactly
Yep. This
"Solvegg" is serious business. We set up temporary walls as a shield against the wind, bring out comfortable chairs, build a fire or bring out a grill, hot chocolate, oranges and other snacks, BBQ, "påskekrim" and "påskenøtter" (puzzles and quizzes).
Sometimes we would even bring our own "solvegg" with us. We used to bring a foldable wall when we went ice fishing 😂
Lamb as an Easter meal is common in Norway, and it is traditionally a symbolic meal for the Easter sacrifice, the lamb, in memory of the crucifixion. Although most Norwegians do not mark Easter as a religious holiday anymore, the traditions live on. It is also not unusual for the church too to go to the mountains at Easter. You can find outdoor services in the mountains at Easter in Norway.
Best part about easter is that all the cabinfolk leave the cities, so us non-cabinfolk can finally go outside and talk to someone who doesn't talk about their cabins all the time
And we who lives in the mountains look forward to the easter is over and all the cabin people goes home😂
@@lillm6874 hahaha
Easter this year began for many the day before Palm Sunday, and for others it began on Maundy Thursday, and it lasts until Easter Monday. Easter is when most Norwegians travel to their cabins by the sea or in the mountains, those who travel to the cabin by the sea, often go there to open the cabin for the summer and launch the boat. Those who travel to the cabin in the mountains do so to enjoy the last remnants of snow, and often lie in the snow to enjoy the sun if it is out. What these cabin people have in common is that they bring lots of food and lots of good drink, and of course Easter eggs for the children. These are often full of sweets, and perhaps a small gift. In any case, there are three things you must have with you at Easter, and they are Kvikklunj, Solo, and sunscreen.
And of course a good crime novel !!
We have 5 days off of work. And we see crime movies or read crime books. 😅
Popular easter crime shows that replayed for years every easter: poirot and miss marple.
12:06 -> 12:16 It's mean soft-boiled eggs.
12:37 You poke holes in the bottom and top of the egg, then blow out the contents of the egg carefully so the eggshell doesn't crack/break. Then you paint it. 🤗🤗
I might've commented this before but, far from everybody OWNS a cabin.
What might be said though, is that a large portion of norwegians have access to one- either through family or work(many firms have cabins for employees as a benefit).
It's actually more norwegians renting a cabin than owning one today
The easter also have something called Påske Øl * Easter Beer * only brewed around and for Easter, is an darker Ale almost like Xmas Beer ; ) If u lucky one can also get 10 days vaccation, if one use 3 days off ur vaccation days in the easter week (monday,tuesday wendesday) many also goes to Syden ( going south to warmer weather,like Spain /Italy ) have a good one Tyler take care an stay safe 😊
7:16
No, not true crime.
Murder mysteries.
Although some might enjoy true crime too, it's the mystery part that is a tradition.
9:09
Not really.
Like, we got the eggs, but not the easter bunny or the egg hunt.
We just take chicken eggs and paint them.
You can't beat gliding on ski over the snow on a sea of white, blue sky and burning sun! Of course with an orange and Kvikk Lunch in the backpack.
Yes during easter we have school and work weekends off, so we all run to our cabins to enjoy some easter fun like relaxing in the sun, skiing, small kids have a easter hunt for chocolate bunnies and chocolate eggs, we receive a big easter egg with candy inside and read crime books and watch crime tv shows during the evening with chocolate.
The candy that is normal during easter:
We also have plastic or cardboard eggs with candy inside. We have chocolate bunnies and egg themes. We also have chocolate with marzipan inside those come out every easter and a Christmas version also exists of chocolate and marzipan candy combo.
Another newer candy that has only been around like 10 years is freia chocolate eggs; A purple box with 4 chocolate egg inside wrapped in yellow paper. The inside of the chocolate egg has a white creamy chocolate filling inside.
Not all Norwegians have a cabin but it is very common. It is actually becoming a problem for climate conservation and Light pollution!
The LED lights are even more detrimental to wildlife than the old ones. And it’s really sad that even the in the mountains the stars get obscured by them. The modern types of big cabin villages with all the infrastructrue are not sustainable.
Most people in Norway don’t own a cabin, but many people rent one for the holidays, often close to a ski resort
Påskekrim started in the 1920 when a crime book were released and the plot happened around Easter. It got promoted and the release was altso in Easter. In the 1970 the TV shows started. It's not true crime but more like murder mysteries. Midsummer murders is a great show to watch at Easter.
In Norway we have 1 egg usually that we look for. 1 bigger egg than the plastic ones that I have seen people in the US hiding. Our eggs can maybe be a bit more similar to the «easter basket» I know some people in the US do. Mostly they are filled with candy, but I also know some get make up and other kinds of stuff in their eggs.
I am very surprised nobody mentioned oranges. I personally don’t like to eat them (texture problem), but oranges and kvikk lunsj is like the big thing for easter.
We do also enjoy «blowing the egg» as they said. Poke a hole on the top and bottom, to «blow» out the yolk and whites inside. Before the egg is then painted. I do feel like this is more of a kids, kidergarden/school type activity. My family would often go out into nature, start a campfire. Have hot dogs on sticks that we grill, and also a pot of boiling water to boil eggs with onion skins to make them yellow.
Lamb is also very traditional to eat during easter. A whole lamb legg is the very traditional thing to eat, usually spiced with Rosemary.
Skiing is also a big thing for easter. A lot of people go skiing. A lot of people have their own cabin that they travle to, often near skiing posibillities. We have around 450000 cabins in our country, and 5mill people living here. Its not all that common to own a cabin. Many do, but many also don’t 😅
wow! happy to see that you use our videos as a reference.) We have more! keep up the good work!
Hi, I live in Norway 🇳🇴 and this year at school. We actually made a Easter crime about a lady called Fru Olsen. She lost a very expensive necklace.😊
When we celebrate Easter, we always go to our family cabin and we have like different activities. We do down to my old auntie and then when we wake up the day before or the day of Easter🐣 we find a big Easter egg 🥚 by our 🛏️ with a lots of 🍭
I feel like people sometimes have a lot of cabins to go to. My boyfriends family has two. One by the sea and one in the mountains. Summer and winter cabins kinda. His dad's family has one and his mother's the other. My family has one by a lake. Not all of them are luxurious, they are sometimes just passed down from relatives. And sometimes we borrow a cabin from friends instead, like if we want to go slalom skiing or snowboarding. Always love easter with the family. It's always lots of candy and boardgames. And quiz! Always easter quiz! And crime dramas of course.
Hahaha yes solvegg is the wall facing the sun, or more specific, the best place to sit along your cabin after today's ski trip.
The crime is not true-crime or violent crime. It is murder mysteries, and "who is the thief" comics for the younger children.
We do NOT traditionally have the Easter bunny or the egg hunt. Foreigners living here might, like that Swedish immigrant gentleman.
We give the kids a large easter egg made out of carton and filled with candy.
Lamb dish stems from the original Jewish Easter that is related to Moses and fleeing Egypt, in particular the sacrifice of lambs related to the killing of the Egyptian first born. (Though I doubt most people even think of that.)
I was at the cabin and went hiking ❤ Love it ❤
As a Norwegian i can say that i own two cabins. One in the mountains and one by the sea. A summer and winter cabin😅
Påskekrim is kind of like a mystery crime that you try to solve during the easter. Keeps your brain entertained
My grandparents had a cabin when we were kids. And we would all go there for easter and go egg hunting and stuff. It was a lot of fun.
Depending on the year, when easter happens, easter can have anything from basically winter to summer.
According to Norway's official statistics bureau (SSB) there are approximately 450.000 cabins in Norway, owned by approx. 600.000 people. Considering Norway's population of 5,5 million citizens that's quite a few cabins and cabin owners. So even though not everyone owns a cabin, a lot of us know someone, or at least someone who knows someone, with access to a cabin :)
I was on my cabin too!!🛖🛖
And then i got an Easter egg!😮💨😮💨🐣🐣
About 10% of norwegians own a cabin, and about half or more of norwegians have access to one.
I guess quite a few even takes in on mountain hotels and facilities like that, as well.
My family used to take a few days at a mountain hotel during Easter when I was growing up. It might have been less expensive to do then than now, I don’t know.
It’s actually about 22%, and about half of the population has access to a cabin👍
@@lillm6874 about 600.000 people in Norway own cabins, that is much closer to 10% than 24%
Edit: 22%
Edit 2: as of january 1st 2023 there was 448 805 hytter in Norway (source SSB)
@@trulybtd5396 Yesc but a cabin is often owned by more than one person
Its that we have easter vecation (påskeferie) lasts usly one week so thats why cabins mostly rented, now a days since the older genration sold the cabins most cabins is gone true families so not that meny have cabins anymore, we still rent tho 😅
But are still cabins that are free sorta if you look for the T cabins is only for incase somone got lost etc etc some use it tho whas big scandel years back a familiy kicked a lost turist oute of the cabin T cabins are for turist and the norwegans so that familiy got bit hefty fine 😅 if you live in a T cabin you have to share, they are pretty remote so that why they exist.
Lamb is the old biblical easter meal, however Norway have very tasty lamb and it is very polular during easter.
There’s nothing like Easter mountain skiing and/or hiking 👌🏻 Lovely sitting in the sun or just enjoying the usually nice weather skiing.
0:48 that boy in red he worked for Supernytt my class watches that in the lunch ( he’s name is Tobias )
In the old days the book publishers usually presented their crime stories in April (by co-incident) and so crime stories - especially the old style "who's done it". Even Donald Duck du mysteries to be silved - and the back of the milk cartons even. hehe Mysteri TV shows are usually followed by most with the solution the last day of Easter. Easter bunny is not as big in Norway, even though it's there. It's more chocolate and marsipan, chickens and eggs. And Lamb. :) Not for decoration but for eating. The eggs came from many people fasting before Easter in the old days, and the chickens (who didn't get the memo) still laying them in large quantities. We make holes in eggs on both sides and blow out the content. That way they are lighter and can be hung in a string somewhere. We also paint the eggs for eating as well. As for the religious part of Easter....Nahhhh.
True, but I have looked into the easter eggs and the bunny and they are traditions that are much older than Christianity. I’m not sure just how it was celebrated here, but likely we had several things in common with the tribes of the now UK and other western/northern parts in Europe and the eggs are a very old tradition related to a European fertility goddess (with many local variants of the goddess, but celebrated at about the same time) and the rabbit was an additional symbol of one of the «UK» ones. It has to do with the really ancient markings of the year and different religions seems to always have celebrated the big ones like midsummer, winter solstice, spring equinox and autumn equinox. The spring equinox might have been one of the most important because people in our hemisphere had survived the harsh winter with food scarcity and were both celebrating the return of spring and praying for good harvests for this years survival.
Spring flowers were also a symbol of this/these fertility spring godess/godesses.
Thank you for the origin of our Norwegian Påskekrim, I didn’t know that!
It seems like every Norwegian have a cabin, but it's not like that. Most of the people don't have a cabin, but sometimes they rent one or go with some friends that have one.
When I was little, my family were skiing every easter, but we were living with some relatives. Then we only had one TV channel, and of course we watched påskekrim. In the evening we gathered and watched it with our relatives.
It has been a tradicion to eat lamb meat but I'm not sure if that's common now. I think it's been common the latest years to eat pinnekjøtt as we do for christmas. It's also common with easter eggs (påskeegg) which is filled with candies.
If you celebrate easter at home, it's also common to go for a walk in the lower part of the mountains without snow.
And daffodils,the flowers
I spent Easter playing DnD... at the cabin. 🤣
Most Norwegians have black belt in Easter. That means we know how to enjoy Easter more than any other nationalities. We are not ignorant about Jesus and his last days in Jerusalem, but we also celebrate the fact that the days grow longer. Skiing can be very pleasant if we have what we call påskevær (Easter weather). The Norwegian love for crime during Easter started in 1923, when information about a new crime novel was published like it was news in a news paper. The decorations are in yellow/orange, including what we eat and drink (oranges and the Solo soft drink). Because of the Easter meal of Jesus and his disciples, we eat lamb, but we eat in on Easter Sunday. Finally: No Norwegian Easter without Kvikk Lunsj. We eat 1/3 of all the Kvikk Lunsj eaten in Norway during a year at Easter time.🌞🐣🐤🐥💛
hehe the man in the video is Tobias, he worked at Supernytt before :D
The news-program adapted for children that is, - right? 😉
@@jollyo9276 yes! :)
Not everybody has a cabin. But most can get access to one. Hiring cabins or going with friends is lso an option. You can also be member of a cabnshare communities.
Not everyone have cabins, but easter is a great time to get out, the spring is coming, you can feel the heat in the sun. We go on trips with family and friends, meet, digs the grill out again, and generally enjoys you can be outdoors again.
Blow eggs. You pick a small hole in eacg end, then blow out the egg-white and yoke so you just have the egg shell. Then you paint them and hang them as decortions. And of course scrambled eggs with ham or dried lamb (fenalår)
I don’t think it is a official easter meal in Norway. That seems to vary from family to family traditions. But I would guess everyone eats egg for breakfast or lunch. Now we have an egg-crisis to so almost every store was sold out of eggs.
Most Norwegians have cabins or atleast a family cabin, but many enjoys to be more free and travel the world more so they don’t like being “stuck” at one place. That doesn’t count for me tho as I love my cabin and manage to travel the world as often I can.
“Påskekrim» or eastercrime is a must. When I was a child it started with a Norwegian TV show called Brødrene Dahl. That’s a classic easter mystery show here in Norway.
The back of the milk "Påske-mysteriet" The Easter Mystery. A better term for it rather than easter crime would be easter mysteries. It's not real crime, but we a watch a lot of drama/crime series and movies as well as Norwegian-produced crime/mystery series made specifically for easter.
I’m Norwegian and I don’t have a cabin, but most Norwegians do have it.
I am from norway hallo alle sammen❤❤❤
My parents have a cabin, but that is at the west coast and I now live at the east coast. I guess we could have bought a cabin, but we don't really want one. It would just be another house to maintain. We have a decent view from our house (across a 12 miles wide fjord, and if the weather is clear enough houses at the other side are visible as tiny dots), during winter we can walk five minutes to ski on the farm fields or we can drive for five minutes to have a bit more hilly terrain (we prefer cross country skiing, but there is also a small lift for downhill skiing and some ski jumps within five minutes with car), or we can walk for ten minutes if we want to do ice skating. It is also a ten minutes walk down to the sea, or a five minutes drive if we want to go to a beach outside the town (there is also a small beach in the town center). This spring we have enjoyed watching deer in the garden almost every day. They love oak nuts, and we have a 60 feet high oak tree in the garden. Sometimes they lay down and stay for a few hours, and today I think they had been sleeping in our garden, because there was three deer there when I looked out in the morning and two of them was laying and looking a bit drowsy. Honestly we enjoy our house and area around so much that buying a cabin wouldn't improve our lives at all, and might actually be a downgrade.
Fun fact: on the back of our milk there are quizes
We celebrate Easter like in the US, but we include Easter eggs and dinner with lam on the mountain in cabins with families. We decorate in yellow for Easter and go skiing. many also go to church. Children also paint eggs in Norway
As a norwegian i’m going to my cabin and snowboarding and drive an ATV and going to The lake and eat fish as we say fisk and hanging around with friends
Easter is probably the longest of our holidays in Norway beside Christmas. Because of how the Christian days are spread out during this holidays many takes the extra days of to get a 14 night off. It is kind of ironic that Norway as a VERY secular country has so many christian holidays throughout the year. I believe that not many coutries have so many days off as Norway. All thanks to Jesus:))
By far all Norwegians does this at Easter time. None of them i know does it but i have seen them doing that Easter cabin skiing on tv
Please react to the cabin by ylvis. It explains our cottage culture in a funny way. And yes most Norwegians have a cottage they go to, but entire families or large groups of people usually own them together
Here in Oslo it was snowing and cold. Not any Sun Wall here. City Eastern it also a common word. One of ten are going to the Mountains. Many can not afford it and take an City Eastern.
Not to forget, Easter is a holiday in Norway, 5 days off, many/most take some extra days off as well. We spent some days at a cabin ( not ours, we dont own one 😉 Have a boat instead ) and the rest in Spain.
Me a norwegian: We are not obsessed with easter! While i'm eating easter marzipan and easter carbonated soft drinks.....
😂
Across most of Europe, Good Friday is a holiday, Saturday and Sunday are off work as it's a weekend, and Monday is a holiday. Ergo, most people have at least a long, four-day weekend. Schools are also off for between 16 and 23 days.
In Norway we have also the day off on Thursday “Maundy Thursday”😊
No way that’s Tobias from supernytt-
Some other Norwegian Easter traditions:
- Standing in long car queues on the roads to the cabins.
- Standing in long queues waiting for a free electric car charger on the way to the cabins.
- Go on After-ski and party, drinking lots of alcohol wearing ski-clothing.
- Eat oranges, chocolate filled with marzipan and leg of lambs.
Påskekrim is more about classical fictional murder mysteries. We're also obsessed with anything that's yellow in the Easter.
Remember aking and sking each winter and spring, kvikk lusj each hike, fantorangen, NRK, and super krim when we were like 3 to 7 years old 😊 #NorwegianSpringNostalgia
My family and I have no cabin. We used to have it when I was a child, but it was sold many years ago. To own a cabin is very expencive. I rather rent a cabin for a weekend but not in the i the easter, it is to expencive to.
You must google "Hemedal" and afterski... Easter, go with friend or/and family (Afterski-party is a MUST for the age 18 and up to you feel to old) 😎
Hello i am an norwegain and i do mostly these tving and yes mostly alle Norwegians have a cabin. And the milk carton crime is these carton strips that the reader is going to solve and it usaly depics somone stealing. So yes we realy have some COOL traditions.
9:12
No, it's not normal here.
But it does exist.
It's mostly a foreign tradition.
One thing I have been curious about. Howe come u are so intrigued about Norway. :)
Just google cabins norway
you will love it 😊
Not everyone have cabin,but a lot have
Yes we just went over to summer time again 😂
So did most of the Americans😉
Last year you reacted to an easter video
Can you do a video where you read comments?
Since he doesn't read comments, how will he see your question?
You do not read crime on the dark time of the year 😂 it is too spooky 😂
Speak for yourself lol
Well there is not a specific word för sunwall (Solvegg or in Swedish Solvägg), or we got specific words for everything.
In the Scandinavian languages we but word together and by doing that create new words. We can also change word classes by adjust the ending. It is therefore possible to create new words that has never been spoken, but everyone understand.
For example; if you have a red color that fits to cars, you can say that the color is "bilröd" (car-red). Do we have a specific word describing a red car colour? bort yes and no :-)
In Norway ‘solvegg’ is a word
@@lillm6874 Depending how you counting Swedish got around 80.000 words (root words), and 125.000 are listed in SAOL (Word list of the Swedish Academy), and the numbers in Norwegian and Danish are simular. English on the other side is estimated having 250.000 words.
But unlike English, we can combine these 80,000 words in different ways, and we are also not limited to using only two words. In a comparison, we then have an uncountable number of words in the Nordic languages. If you also add that we can change the classes of the words, we have even more words.
We can also make the word solväggsbänk/solveggsbenk (sun-wall bench) or solväggbänksdyna/solveggbenkpute (sun-wall bench pad), or if you rent the pad it will become a solväggbänkdynsavgift (sun-wall bench pad fee). Do we have a specific word for the fee to rent a pad to be used on a bench located at a sunny wall? The answer will be Yes; but linguistically it cannot be compared as a word to English.
I KNEW IT WAS SOMETHING OFF WITH THAT GUY THATS TOBIAS
1:19 wait ontil bro hears about dampskipsundervannsstyrkeprøvemaskinerikonstruksjonsvanskeligheter
The guy there is well known
Oranges!!
Well i got sick this eastern until today unforunaly chat.
Me too. I guess it's part of my holiday traditions...if it's noe Easter, it's Christmas.
Not all Norwegians is going too the Mountains and ski😂😂
The blow' the egg...just to get rid of anything IN the 🎉🎉🎉❤
In my part of the city like 95% of the pepole have a cabin
Easter is generally just another vacay/holiday (a weeks time), where we go to our family cabin up in the mountains (for those who has one), go cross country skiing with family or friends, not a very long trip, find the best view with the spot that has the most sun, put sausages on the fire, drink cacao/soda of the brand Solo (orange soda), then eat some kvikklunsj as dessert. Then when the sun starts to go away, the kids are tired and one is all full, you go back to the cabin. It’s basically just family time, while being active out in nature getting your tan on, and enjoy your self. Many also have a lamb roast. The classic, at least for the kids is to get their easter candy, the easter eggs traditionally isn’t a thing here, but has later been imported from the US, and watch kids TV shows that only runs during eastern every morning while their parents still sleep. And let’s not forget the crime TV shows and quizzes. It’s a whole cultural phenomenon and if you’re Norwegian you know this and celebrate this. Then there’s the other half that Christians who celebrate Jesus and goes to church etc… but mostly it’s about tanning, skiing, bonfire and eat good food as well as spending time with your family.
We are hunting the sun ☀
Cartoon cartons!
For someone who thinks norwegians and their traditions are weird you sure do make alot of videos about them. 😅
No. Not all Norwegians own a cabin. But it is a big part of our culture and meny, meny people have families who have cabins. Many for generations. But just do not think that every Norwegians have their own cabins.
Hello tyler you suhd react to krystad Lofoten
No , i don’t have a cabin and not everyone Owns one
day 4 of asking you to react to norwegian ww2 history
For me, easter is to celebrate the gospel of salvation, risen on sundag after payed our dept in selfishness. So I dont care about skiing, cabin, crime, solo, kbikk lunch or bunny. Its all about our negarive emotions vs eternal love. I love all the signs of new life, rependence, be a good nabour and all good❤🌷🐣
I kan giv you info
It's not TRUE crime !
Mostly fiction.
Norway asva be secular county does not celebrate the Abrahemic easter, if anything its a paganistic celebration of "the comming of the sun", usually in the mountains.
For my part, I celebrate a "Black Blasphemic Easter" in Oslo attending the "Inferno Metalfestival" in Oslo, a Black Metal Festival (Black Metal is usually either Satanic, or Pagan, but always Anti-Abrahemic. In my eyes, the brst way to spend the Easter, woth good friends and good music.
Easter crim is made up crim sumthing funny like on the back of the milk carten this year you had to find owt ho emtyd the milk.😂
In Norway nature is religious 🐣🌤️
That cabin/skiing thing is very stereotypical. Most Norwegians does not own a cabin or goes skiing every other day.
I havent skied since I was in the armed forces in 1999
Do you americans have a easter colour? I guess, my fellow norwegians will tell you what we have as a colour to indicate easter.
i am norwagen so i can understand.....Jeg er norsk og da kan jeg hvite va de sier
i sead the same thing in noweagen
they read easter crime like who took the mild for the pancake
