Questions & Answers about Bingo er enkelt å lære.

Why is there no article before bingo?

Because bingo is being used in a general sense, like the name of a game or activity. In Norwegian, game names, sport names, and similar activity words are often used without an article when you mean them in general.

So Bingo er enkelt å lære is like saying Bingo is easy to learn in a broad, general way.

Compare:

• Fotball er gøy. = Football is fun.
• Sjakk er vanskelig. = Chess is difficult.

If you were talking about something specific, the structure could be different, but here the bare noun is natural.

What does å mean in å lære?

Here å is the infinitive marker. It works like English to before a verb.

So:

• lære = learn
• å lære = to learn

It does not have a separate meaning by itself here; it just marks the verb as an infinitive.

Why is it enkelt and not enkel?

Enkelt is the form Norwegian normally uses in this kind of adjective + å + infinitive pattern.

A very common structure is:

• Det er enkelt å lære. = It is easy to learn.

When you make bingo the subject, that same adjective form remains natural:

• Bingo er enkelt å lære.

So even if you first learn enkel as the basic dictionary form, you will often see enkelt in patterns like this.
