"Var det du som skrev rapporten?"

Translation: Was it you who wrote the report?

[israellai]

The Var is very confusing haha I thought it's 'where' and took a minute to realise it isn't

[LyckligCyklop]

I keep doing that as well

[DerrickMcClure1]

Is SOM an all-purpose relative pronoun - who, whom, which, that?

[Phoebe.me]

How can we tell if the "var" being used is meant as "was" or "where"? I thought it said "Where is the report that you wrote?"

[gustavssonamanda]

You can tell by the context. Does "was" or "where" fit best:

"... it you who wrote the report?"

[cynyork]

Can I say "vem" instead of "som" as well?

[Arnauti]

vem is not used as a relative pronoun, we use som for that instead.

[Zmrzlina]

No.

Will always the subject pronouns follow the construction "de + att vara"/"att vara + det"?

[Aj4Y2c]

Why not "Var det dig..."?

[gustavssonamanda]

Because "du" is a subject and "dig" an object.
