I am confused by the two sentences written below.  I dont get why it has nasıl at the start but also the question suffix on the end ? 

 

 

nasıl güzel dans ediyormusun

 

nasıl güzel yemek yapıyormusun

I think it needs a comma:

 

Nasıl, güzel dans ediyor musun?

How, do you dance well?

They said in the context I explained that it meant like

 

Say! do you dance well/   ehh !, do you dance well

 Say! Do you make nice food ?

 

Obviously it does not mean say literally but in the way we use it in english sometimes

 

There is no actual HOW in the sentence. It did not make sense in the converstaion I was having to ask, How , do you dance well ?.

it is a matter of emphasis.

here the word "nasil" is pronounced in a different way.

Quoting Gülümseme

I am confused by the two sentences written below.  I dont get why it has nasıl at the start but also the question suffix on the end ? 

 

 

nasıl güzel dans ediyormusun

 

nasıl güzel yemek yapıyormusun

 

 I think it resembles when we say in English:

How well do you dance?

or How well do you cook (make food)?

it isnt neccesary to use ´´nasıl´´

in common ; nasıl qualifies and asks adj
