As an American I thought it would be fun to test my Norwegian knowledge today with a little quiz on Norway. If you enjoyed the video feel free to leave a comment, like, or subscribe for more!
The motto of Norway is not "Powered by nature". That's a tourism motto from Visit Norway. The actual motto is "Alt for Norge", which means "Anything for Norway".
Indeed.
Technically "Alt for Norge" is the Royal motto, it had been a tradition for Danish kings to have a motto, and so when King Haakon VII became King he chose that motto (his father was the King of Denmark).
The unusual thing is, is that both King Olav and King Harald also chose to use that motto.
Wikipedia says that we also have "Enige og tro til Dovre faller" ("Agree with each other and be faithful till Dovre falls")
You got it right about the continents. Europe is a part of Eurasia. Norway has dependencies in Antarctica so I guess technically that is correct too.
Eurasia is not often not considered a continent, but 2 continents Europe and Asia, but otherwise yes, Norway is a part of Eurasia. A bad question really, as Norway's dependencies in Antarctica is not really an international recognized part of Norway.
Dronning Maud land in Antartica that is. And the time zone question was kind of a follow up to that. The two time zones are mainland and Antarctica. Fun fact, though, is that the eastern parts of Finnmark is near the North pole where the timezones shrink over distance and should have been removed another time zone, as it is has noticeable earlier mornings. Also Bergen is in the GMT zone, geograpically.
3 correct answers there
@@Kris_Lighthawk Gees.. Eurasia is the name of the Europe/Asian continuous landmass. It is One massive continent. And it is also the two separate continents of Europe and Asia.
Queen Maud land is very much Norway as a dependent territory. It borders the claimed British Antarctic Territory 20° west and the Australian Antarctic Territory 45° east. In addition, a small unclaimed area from 1939 was annexed in June 2015. Other claimed territories being Peter I Island and Bouvet Island. All 3 claimed territories are part of the part of the Antarctic Treaty System, so Very Much internationally recognized. The land is administered by the Polar Affairs Department of the Norwegian Ministry of Justice and Public Security in Oslo

We don't really have a motto...? At least not an official one.
"Powered by nature" is more of a PR catchphrase if anything imo.
If you had to choose anything it would probably be "Alt for Norge" - "Everything for Norway" which has been chosen as the royal motto for the last three monarchs.
You could also go with "Enige og tro til Dovre faller" - "United and loyal until the mountains of Dovre crumble" which was an oath/pledge said during the writing of the constitution.
Nynorsk and bokmål Are the 2 written languages of Norway.
We actually have over 1300 different dialects parted in to 4 different groups. These groups are 'Northern Norwegian' (nordnorsk), 'Central Norwegian' (trøndersk), 'Western Norwegian' (vestlandsk), and 'Eastern Norwegian' (østnorsk).
Actually, Marianne Borgen is not the major of Oslo, she was, but last election it was a change and now the majors name is Anne Lindboe. We also have theee emergency numbers, 110 (fire) 112 (police) and 113 (med)
We are part of Antarctica because we have dependencies down there under Norwegian control called Dronning Maud Land.
Eurasia is the name for Europe and Asia combined since the continents are connected and are technically one big continent.
Dronning Maud Land just is a territorial claim, and is not an international recognized part of Norway.
@@Kris_Lighthawk Which is why I wrote "dependencies" and not territory in my comment.
But by all means, thanks for correcting my already correct statement.
@@Kris_Lighthawkwe do however have the Bowet Island
@@Xirque666 - Bouvet island -
@@Valfodr_jr yes, named after the guy that found it...😅, but thx 🙏🏻 I usually always get that one wrong 😅
NIce! - Love from Norway :)
yes. Norwegian Colony at Antarctica. Queen Mauds Country - Dronning Mauds Land
Yup, Queen Maud Land, Bouvet Island and Peter I Island
I'm norwegian, and I'm not so sure I'd do much better
I think you did good 👍🏼 I didn’t get the right answer to every question either 😊
Hey Tyler, nice video as always, and well done on the quiz. Could you do a video reacting to Svalbard sometime? :) I lived there for a while and think you'd find it pretty interesting
Love your videos❤
You have learned😊
21:20 Should have been something like "At what age does compulsory education begin in Norway?" to make it clear what it is asking.
I think you did pretty good. I would not be able to get all correct too
i am 50 and have lived in Norway all my life, even i didnt get everyone right , lol
Hahaha, this was actially quite difficult. ☺️
Even I missed one of these, who cares who the major of Oslo is, but some of the questions are shait.
The elevation at sea level is always 0, but elevation "in" the sea makes no sense as 0.
"Powered by nature" is not norways motto. It is a tourism marketing slogan.
There is 1 major emergency number, 112. The others are for spesific services.
The area number does not include antarctica, which was included in an earlier question.
Close to 1 million in or commuting to Oslo does :) However... I'll admit, not many cares *WHO* it is, as long as the job is done properly...
Got the mayor correct, and I can't recall having heard about her. Not that I would care, as I live right outside Bergen.
We have two small islands in Antartica. And Queen Mauds Land on the mainland of Antartica.
This made me chuckle xD
Norway’s motto is stop Ikke mobb anthem every single Norwegian person knows this song
22:00 something; the deepest point in Norway is the Molloy Depth / Molloydypet. It's at 5500 m. and somewhat of a recent discovery (?)
Hornindalsvatnet with a depth of 514 m. is Norway's and Europe's deepest lake, and the world's thirteenth deepest lake, as well as the lowest inland point (from what I know). It lies at 53 m.o.h.
good job on the quiz :) i'm norwegian and even i didn't know all of the answers
you are doing very well
I would guess from living here that our motto is "Don't be different than anyone else".... Never heard any other motto...
110 is fire division, 112 is police and 113 is ambulance
Marianne Borgen got voted out of office last local election

@@omgwerockhard Yeah, I think even his mother has forgotten his name by this point.
Yes, his crazy stalker never miss a video 😂
I’m a norwegian, and even I struggled with much of this quiz. And I didn’t know we had a national motto 😂
Grading in Norway would probably be more like 40% = passing grade ("an "E"). 60% for D, 70% for C, 80% for B and 90% for A 😉
I do not think norway has a moto but i think people would say it is ‘’alt for Norge’’ or ‘’ut på tur aldri sur’’ sorry for the wrong spelling i’m not that good to spell things, but can you make a video there you can check out the best comedien in Norway or the best youtubers or youtubers you did not know was from norway? Love your videos btw🤩🤩🤩🤩
Norwegian here. Got 22 anwers right 😮
I think you did great. Im a norwegian and only got 23/28. And to be fair, some of the questions were badly worded.
I'm actually impressed 😁 And yes Dronning Mauds land in Antarctica ❤
In Norway, the emergency numbers are: 110 (fire department) 112 (Police) 113 (Medical). If someone calls 911 from a cellphone in Norway, they will be redirected to 112 (Police). In a stressful situation its not that important to remember wich are fire, medic, or police. They will connect you to the right one anyway. We also have some other numbers: 1412 (the hearing impaired) 116 117 (For children when they need help regarding domestic violence, abuse, parental neglect etc)
Call 116 117 to get in touch with the emergency center in the area where you are staying.
Not only for children!
@@Kjell-Ottar Im sorrry, you are right. the correct number for children is 116 111
Wery good Tyler 👏🇳🇴
That you are a typical, average american isn't the case anymore :P More educated than average ;)
Well......
@okklidokkli when a lot of US citizens still think Norway is the capital of Sweden, I think Tyler has above average knowledge when he knows our two distinct written varieties Bokmål and Nynorsk.
I would agree with you that Norway is a part of Europe and Eurasia if you had to choose two (Some scholars would rather want Eurasia than Europa + Asia, as they're obviously connected).
Queen Maud's Land, like every other dependent territorial claims by other nations in Antarctica, is not legitimate (de jure). It is not recognized in any official international capacity, it's just that many of these nations don't want to start a debate that could make their own claims illegitimate as well.
Hi from Norway
Moral support here Tyler :)
I also dident know the mayor of Oslo, (knew the last one tho), if you dont live in Oslo moest ppl wont know I think. I also dident know several of the questions that followed.
The lowest level was kind of a trick-question.. we dont have any points below sealevel i guess,, like many conrtys do.
VAT = value added Tax (a consept totaly unheard of for moest Americans I presume. (unless your an ecconomist or something..)
Antartica is also kind of a trick question.. the Antartic treaty states that no claim are recognised by the signaturies, all claimes are "frosen", but Norway has got a claim to a sector called "Queen Mauds land"..
Wery few norwegians would get all of this right. I for one dident.
Langøya outside Holmestrand is probably the lowest dry land in Norway.
The "lowest point is the norwegian sea" is a trick question, since sea level is 0 metres above sea level. I think it wants you to overthink it. Kinda mean of them tbh.
Norway has a part in Antarctica
Queen Mauds Land are located in Antarctica (1/5 of the total landmass), and was registered as an addition to the norwegian territory in 1939 just days before Germany with Adolf Hitler tried to annex the territory themselves, and now Norway has a permanent science facility there. It borders the British part of Antarctica in the west and the Australian part of Antarctica in the east. Because of a treaty signed later on, none of the territories owners can claim it as a natural part of their country, and therefore it is now limited to scientific activity.
I'm pretty sure this quiz was made by AI...
Is :WHY NORWAY IS SO WEALTHY PART 5 coming tomorrow?😬
Norway has land on Antarctica :) Queen Maud-Land.
You should do a DNA test, you propably have norwegian ancestors.
I bet Antarctica because of svalbard!
The thumbnail is wrong. They're not dialects. They're written languages.
We have a vast multitude of dialects, and no "standard" dialect. Bokmål and nynorsk are *only* written languages, though a few dialects do sound a bit like what one would think they sound like.
Well done. Some of these questions were pretty awkward. I suspect the person making it comes from Japan for some reason
Im norwegian.😅
Øystese we live
I dont even know who our mayor is XD
Bokmål and Nynorsk sre not dialects, but Written languages only. To simplify it, wevetite in those 2 but we all speak a dialect
We actully have three in Norway.
110 is for
medical emergency
112 is for Police
113 is for
Fire Departementet
Its not a big problem to get them mixed up, they can easily transfer you to the right one if you call the wrong one. But, 113 is for medical emergencies and 110 is for fire department.
Bokmål and Nynorsk. - There are countless dialects in Norway. I am originally from middle of Norway, and some Swedes said to me that it was easier to understand me than some other Norwegians, possibly because of the calmness of spjuing the words out. ... In tone, southern+ southern western parts of Norway is more danish-like, not much, presumably because of the more closeness to Denmark and the long royal marriage phase, presumably a phase having a more hidden inperial reason than is being claimed. ... A map from ca year 1000, shows the Roman empire to far above middle of Norway, but is not part of official history, which is probably due to the hidden elite needed to rob the public to maintain their own interests. ... I presume the Norwegian lie-on, with the Axe, came around year 1200. ... There are also imperial symbols of old norwegian coins from England, like the cross the sound U makes, or the pyramid 3 dots. ... The Rune Alphabet was created after "Jesus", presumably to better do infiltrations. ... The Alfabeth is called the Futark, due to the first letters, and can probably translate into Fortune U Ark. ... Art and Arch, is kind of changes and a fleet above water (accept), saving themselves. ... Imeperiam via boats. ... In 1066 that had "to save themselves from some Vikings", when they was "occupied by the French", to istall Christianity. Westminster Abbey, forces of the darkness (where the sun goes down". .. There is a lot of English genes in my blood, and fake viking history may come alot from England. ... I observed there was a lot of equality between folklore from Glastonbury Tor, and may have been the origins of troll, probably also a methaphor of the money pyramid conspiracy people. ... Yggdrasil is the world tree, and to hide imperialism, the had to change direction Y, included the paradigms G. ... I see the most difficulties you have with the Norwegian language, is because of the different use of and thinking of the vocals. ... English as the most common code translation language, has made it conservative. ... You say ei about a. Also norwegian and swedish has some wrong vocals in their words, perhaps mostly around e and æ. ... Hello, Hei. We say Hæy for Hi, Hai.
Different exsoressions of I in Norway is Jeg (Jæi), Eg, i, e, æ, æi
Hæi, is the correct
Norwegian emergency numbers are 110 fire department 112 police and 113 ambulance you can also call 911 and I belive you can use that world wide
Eurasia is Europe and Asia, so if Norway is a part of Europe, it's of course also a part of Eurasia.
Tyler leser ikke kommentarer, han svarer heller ikke på kommentarer veldig irriterende, ikke epost heller så jeg gidder ikke kommentere mer.
Tyler doesn't read comments, he doesn't reply to comments either very annoying, not e-mail either so I don't bother commenting anymore.
Norways lowest point is zero? That's an odd one. I would say the moment you have a lake or oceanfront your lowest point will be below sealevel.
The Netherlands have a oceanfront and do have a lower point than zero.
@@ahkkariq7406 Yes well Norway has the fjords, they are incredibly steep, maybe even steeper and lower than the local land is high.
Who ever wrote tis quiz need to get back to school if you dont know Eurasia is the continent Europe is one part of. Antarctica is correct though. "Evig og tro til Dovre faller" (United and faithful (loyal) until Dovre falls(Crumble)) is a national motto of Norway. It derives from a quotation of the Constitutional fathers in the 1814 Eidsvoll oath. The oath was taken as a pledge after the negotiations at the National Assembly in Eidsvoll concluded on May 20, 1814..
We also have the Royal motto of "Alt for Norge" (Everything for Norway)
Nah, this quiz is messed up 😂
Denne mannen er den mest norske amerikaneren noen sinne
wud you call american and british english dialects?? same thing
The quiz is no longer correct about Marianne Borgen. All the alternatives were wrong as of now. So if you want, you can give yourself +1 right, since the quiz was wrong.

21:25 bro come on 😭 is written right there
The thumbnail hurt a bit to see, none of those in the box are dialects 😅
Norway is also closer to having 20 dialects than 2.
Edit: In the video it says "languages" instead of dialects? But that's also wrong. Norway has 1 *(ONE)* language and that is Norwegian. Then we have a crapton of dialects and sociolects.
Nynorsk is an artificial writing form, simplifying/"merging" a ton of dialects and make written communication easier. However it is _not_ a language, dialect or sociolect or, well, _anything._
People often write "slang" or their own dialect to friends etc. (yes even Oslonians and others from Southeast) however in official papers and articles, only Bokmål or Nynorsk is acceptable (Bokmål isn't a spoken form either by the way; the closest you get is "NRK-presenter-Norwegian" however very few realistically speak like that in daily life, even in Oslo).
I personally enjoy it when people speak or write in their "native" tongue, up until the point where I've stopped cognitively noticing where anyone's from. I must do an effort to cognitively listening for it and then ask where they're from (great success rate :) just don't get certain cities mixed up lol)
Her var det mye feil. Norge har 2 (TO) språk. Det ene (norsk) har to målformer: Bokmål og Nynorsk. Det andre (samisk) har tre målformer: Nordsamisk, Sørsamisk og Lulesamisk. Norsk har 2 dialektgrupper: Østnorsk/trøndersk og vestnorsk/nordnorsk. Og rundt regnet 300+ dialekter, litt mer en de 20 du nevnte. Hvordan er nynorsk mer kunstig en bokmål?
We have a close in age law in Norway as well, but the golden rule is your age divided by two add seven. Then it's nobody's business. That adds up to 16 / 2 +7=15. So June-December is ok, but May-December is a bit shady.
whats with the pronansiation stuff:/
I don't like that when you hover your pointer over the questions, pictures appears. It feels like spoiling to the people who tries the quiz. Maybe they need them because the questions are mixing between children's simplicity and seemingly impossible questions with answers that makes no sense. And also, why do a random picures of Vestland, Hardingfele, etc showing up so much when the questions has nothing to do with them? This is one of the worst Norway quizes out there! If this website has a Canada and a UK quiz I hope he never come close to those ones because I can only imagine how they would look like!
A terrible, patronizing quiz, filled with errors and inaccuracies.
Norwegian and Bokmå are NOT languages NOR dialects, they are written forms of Norwegian.
The Norwegian Sea is not a part of the landmass and thus cannot be seen as the lowest point of Norway.
The given alternatives were sometimes ridiculous: Three option mountains weren't mountains, 3 of the possible lyricists to the Anthom weren't Norwegian (if at all authors) - Juaan Jose Carlos, really?
The motto "Powered by Nature" is a sales pitch not the state motto (Enig og tro til Dovre faller)
Tyler have, after years of watching videos still not retainmed the pronunciation of the letter ø or know that the final e in words are usually pronounced.
His knowledege of his own culture (Maundy Thursday [the day before Good Friday [where good means holy, nor good as apposed to ba], Whitsun) is bad - which probably does make him an ordinary, average American.
He may have learnt something from this awful quiz, but wiull he remember any of it?
Whatever sea you choose to count as belonging to Norway, fjords on the west coast is often as deep or maybe even deeper than the mountains are high. So the lowest level cannot be zero.
Powered by Nature is that a translation of "Evig og tro til Dovre faller" I didn't know we had a motto, but if that's it, it's from Eidsvoll 1814. The translation is not a translation at all.
@@TullaRask That's the Eidvoll one yes.
Powered by Nature is used to promote Norway as a tourist destination.
@@TullaRask We operate with two different mottos when it comes to Norway, "Enig og tro til Dovre faller " and also the King's motto which is "Alt for Norge". Powered by nature is a PR slogan from years ago, don't know why it's even mentioned in this test.
@@Valfodr_jr If it's made by someone with limited knowledge or even an AI it might be something like this.
"Most Americans wouldn't know the Norwegian prime minster" -- and they'd have no reason or need to know.
And that is exactly the attitude that keeps the level of knowledge in the US at a constant low level, of which you are an excellent example.
