I really need some help with a simple problem, I have tried to do the
following :

(if (eq (last lista) 'sant)
    t
   nil)

where lista is ( variable . sant ) or (  variable . falskt ), with no
success.

Please show me how to do this, and I'll be very grateful!

just in case this is home work: check out the definition of last or at least
fire up your list interpreter and type in (last '(a b c .d)).  you will see
that you shouldn't expect the result you expect
