være enkel/vær enkel Explanation: The clause "be simple" can be both an infinitive clause and an imperative clause, and you'll have to find out which it is in the source text before you can choose between "være enkel" (infinitive) and "vær enkel" (imperative). |

vær enkel Explanation: Depending on the context it could also mean "være enkel", but then it would more than likely be preceded by the infinitive "to", so my bet would be the imperative "be simple" - "vær enkel" Almost two decades of life in Norway |
