Sorry for the dumb question. If you don’t embrace any other cultures or languages except your own country, then just say country.
I will never be a “Norwegian Norwegian” as I wasn’t born or raised in Norway. I’m American, so my neighbors would be Canada and Mexico.
However, my cultural neighbors would be Sweden, and Finland I guess. I’m not a true Norwegian, for the record, but we embrace our heritage a lot and have been raised around videos of the language since I was little but didn’t actually remember anything so I’m learning more.
I’ve been to Finland and I never felt alien there. Of course, it’s a bit different, but “nothing in common” is a bit of an overstretch to me
…wha? i said norway has basically nothing in common with russia. where did you get finland?
You also mentioned Finland and hinted that it’s culturally very different to Russia. You also said Finland is close to Norway and Russia has nothing in common with Norway. I’m discussing the general idea you expressed, even if not a direct quote from you, I hope you can understand
i think you’re misreading me.
