If "Hvor" mean "Where" and "Der" can mean "There" and also "Where" what is the diference between "Hvor" and "Der" when using as "Where"?

where does it say that der can mean there and where?

When I put my mouse on the "der" appers "there/where" so the "where" is wrong ?

oh...ok. They are referring to sentences like huset der jeg bor skal rives which you can translate as "they house where I live is going to be torn down." But in the sentence du er der , der cannot be translated as where

Why is "there you are" incorrect?


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/Anonomous187

It't just the placement of the words, for example "Der er du" means, there you are. "Du er der" means , you are there.

Could this also mean "There you are." like you say when you find somebody or something?

that would be der er du - "There you are!"

Du er der og jeg er her. Lots of "er" sounds in this one. XD

I constantly hear "du er var" in this one

"Er" pronounced "aa" or "ar"?
