What was it that gave IT/ME away?

English Language Learners Asked on October 1, 2021

I asked a person to guess my nationality from my accent. And after a few attempts he figured it out. Then I said:

"What was it that that gave it/me away?"

I’m not sure if I should use ‘it’ or ‘me’ here and what difference they make.
Can I also say- "What gave it/me away."

One Answer

Either. Your accent gave it (your nationality) away, or it gave you away as a person of that nationality.
