In dat verslag staat de planning, en daarin lees je ook wie waarvoor verantwoordelijk is.

In Dutch, staan is often used for information that is written, printed, listed, or contained somewhere.

So In dat verslag staat de planning means something like:

• The schedule is in that report
• literally, In that report the planning stands

This is very common in Dutch. Similar examples:

• In de brief staat je nieuwe adres. = Your new address is in the letter.
• Op de website staat meer informatie. = More information is on the website.
• In het boek staat een uitleg. = There is an explanation in the book.

English usually uses is, appears, or is written, while Dutch often uses staat.

Verslag usually means report, written account, or record.

Depending on context, it can refer to:

• a business or project report
• minutes or a summary of a meeting
• a written account of an event

So in this sentence, dat verslag is probably that report/document containing the planning and information about responsibilities.

Daarin means in it or in that.

It is a pronominal adverb, which Dutch uses very often with prepositions. Instead of saying:

• in dat

Dutch normally says:

• daarin = there-in / in it
• erin = in it (more neutral, often when the thing is already very clear)

So:

• In dat verslag staat de planning, en daarin lees je ook... = In that report is the planning, and in it you also read...

This sounds much more natural in Dutch than repeating in dat verslag again.

Both can mean in it, but there is a nuance.

• daarin often points back a bit more clearly to something already mentioned, especially something a little more specific or emphasized.
• erin is often a shorter, more neutral version.

In this sentence, daarin sounds very natural because it clearly refers back to dat verslag.

Compare:

• Ik heb een boek. Daarin staat alles uitgelegd.
• Ik heb een boek. Erin staat alles uitgelegd.

Both are possible, but daarin can sound slightly more explicit.

Dutch main clauses follow the verb-second (V2) rule: the finite verb must come in the second position.

If the sentence begins with daarin, then the verb must come right after it:

• Daarin lees je ook ...

Structure:

• Daarin = first position
• lees = second position
• je = subject after the verb

This is called inversion.

Compare:

• Je leest ook daarin wie waarvoor verantwoordelijk is.
• Daarin lees je ook wie waarvoor verantwoordelijk is.

Both are grammatically possible, but the second version is more natural here because it links neatly back to dat verslag.

Not necessarily. Je here is often a general you, like English you in:

• In this guide, you learn how to...
• On this page, you can see...

It does not always mean one specific person. It can mean:

• the reader
• someone reading the report
• people in general

So daarin lees je ook... is very natural Dutch for there you can also read... or it also tells you...

This part means who is responsible for what.

It contains:

• wie = who
• waarvoor = for what
• verantwoordelijk is = is responsible

So the whole clause is an indirect question:

• who is responsible for what

It depends on lees je ook:

• you also read who is responsible for what

Dutch usually prefers waar + preposition when referring to things, not people.

So:

• waarvoor = for what
• literally where-for

This is much more normal than voor wat in standard Dutch in this kind of sentence.

Compare:

• Waarvoor is hij verantwoordelijk? = What is he responsible for?
• Voor wie is hij verantwoordelijk? = For whom is he responsible?

A useful rule:

• for things/ideas: often waar- words like waarvoor, waarop, waarin
• for people: usually preposition + wie, like voor wie, met wie

Because this is a subordinate clause / embedded question in Dutch.

In a main clause, the finite verb is usually in second position:

• Jan is verantwoordelijk voor de planning.

But in a subordinate clause, the finite verb often goes to the end:

• ... wie waarvoor verantwoordelijk is

That is why is comes last.

This is one of the most important Dutch word-order patterns to learn.

Ook means also or too.

Here it adds the idea that the report contains more than just the planning:

• the planning is in the report,
• and also information about who is responsible for what.

Its position is natural in Dutch:

• daarin lees je ook ...

This places ook near the verbal idea lees je, roughly: you can also read...

English and Dutch do not always place also in exactly the same spot, so this is something learners often need to get used to.

Yes, it could:

• In dat verslag staat de planning, en in dat verslag lees je ook wie waarvoor verantwoordelijk is.

But that sounds repetitive. Dutch, like English, often prefers a shorter reference the second time. So daarin is more natural and smoother.

In many Dutch contexts, de planning means:

• the schedule
• the plan
• the timeline
• the planning document or arrangement

The exact meaning depends on context. In business or project language, planning often refers to the schedule/timeline rather than the abstract act of planning.

So here it probably means something like the schedule or the planned timeline.

Not really. A very literal version would be:

• In that report stands the planning, and in that you also read who is responsible for what.

That is understandable, but not natural English.

More natural English would be:

• That report contains the schedule, and it also tells you who is responsible for what.
• The schedule is in that report, and you can also read there who is responsible for what.
• That report includes the schedule and also shows who is responsible for what.

This is a good example of Dutch using ordinary verbs like staan and lezen in places where English prefers different phrasing.
