Just curious: is it easy for you as a Norwegian to understand Swedish?

Yes, quite easy. Same goes for danish. On the other hand, they (swedish, danes) often have trouble understanding us. Norway has been ruled by both countries at some point in history. We also have a lot of (sometimes strange) dialects in the country, and some speculates that this is why it’s easy for us to understand the Swedish and Danes.
