Min Dagsrutin/My Daily Routine 

We delve into the intricate and often humorous interplay between these two neighboring cultures – Norway and Sweden. Much like Newton's laws of thermodynamics, the principles of conversation dynamics between Norwegians and Swedes can be observed and understood through a few key laws:

First Law: The Law of Politeness Conservation
In any conversation between a Norwegian and a Swede, politeness is neither created nor destroyed but merely transferred. Each party carefully navigates the exchange, ensuring that respect and civility remain balanced and intact.

Second Law: The Principle of Understatement Equilibrium
Understatements in Norwegian-Swedish dialogue tend to seek equilibrium. When one party downplays an event or achievement, the other instinctively matches this tone, creating a harmonious balance of modesty and humor.

Third Law: The Entropy of Misunderstandings
As the complexity of conversation increases, so does the potential for misunderstandings. These are often caused by the subtle nuances and cultural references unique to each nation. Yet, this entropy is often countered by the shared history and mutual respect between Norwegians and Swedes, leading to resolution and clarity.

Join us as we explore these dynamics and uncover the fascinating, and often understated, art of Norwegian-Swedish communication.

The Dynamics of Scandinavian Communication – Understatements 

Dans ce podcast, je vous explique deux expressions bien connues des français :
Tu es un Harpagon !
Tu es un Dom Juan.
Ces expressions sont des antonomases. Une antonomase, c'est une figure de style qui consiste à donner un sens à un nom propre, et ainsi en faire un nom commun.

Vous pouvez regarder ces deux pièces de théâtre de Molière dans les liens suivants :
