No sabía dónde estabas.

[waxapax]

English Translation

I didn’t know where you were.

shouldn’t it be donde without the accent?

[morbrorper]

No, “donde” without the accent is a relative pronoun, so it has to have to something to refer back to. With an accent, it’s an interrogative pronoun, which is appropriate in an indirect question like this.

Would “estuviste” also work here?
Gracias.

@mnoelle

“estuviste

I think it would work if you’re referring to a specific period of time: “No sabía dónde estuviste / de vacaciones / ayer por la tarde / el año pasado.”
