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.

私は4年ほど前から寒暖差アレルギーに悩まされています。
寒暖差アレルギーは英語で、vasomotor rhinitisというそうです。
気温の差が原因の鼻炎のようなものです。暖かい場所から寒い場所に移動すると鼻水やくしゃみがとまらなくなる、という症状があります。
私は特に冬、寒いときに外でジョギングをすると、毎回この寒暖差アレルギーがひどくなってしまいます。
漢方薬を飲むと、一時的に良くなりますが、ジョギングをするとまたひどくなってしまいます。
鼻水のせいで呼吸が上手くできないし、鼻をかみすぎて、鼻や口の周りも痛くなるし踏んだり蹴ったりです。
この寒暖差アレルギーを治すには、規則正しい生活をすることが一番大切だそうです。これは私にとって一番難しいことですが、今年は頑張って克服したいです。

Halo semua! Selamat pagi, siang, sore dan malam! Bagaimana akhir minggu kalian? 
Ini adalah podcast pertama saya di Italki. Saya lumayan gugup atau “deg-degan”. Kalian tahu arti kata “deg-degan”? Di Bahasa Jepang artinya “どきどき、緊張する”、di Bahasa Inggris artinya “nervous”. 
Saya pikir kalian juga pernah merasa gugup atau deg-degan waktu berbicara di depan orang banyak. Kalau kalian deg-degan, biasanya kalian melakukan apa? Hmm.. kalau saya, bolak-balik ke toilet ^^;  “Bolak-balik” ini juga ekspresi ya, di Bahasa Jepang artinya “行ったり来たり” , di Bahasa Inggris artinya “back and forth”.
Ok, Hari ini sampai di sini ya! Sampai jumpa di podcast berikutnya! Semoga hari ini kalian tidak deg-degan melakukan sesuatu ya ^^
