I'm trying to learn a bit of Turkish but I'm having a problem with the phrase "How are you?" One source is telling me it's "Nasilsiniz" and another is saying it's "Nasilsin" Can someone in the know tell me which one it is? :?

nasilsin is how are you
i think they mean the same thing
turkish can be weird cause of some their words mean the same as we have in english
will ask my boyfriend the difference when i speak to him later on :P
hope this helps

Nasilsiniz is "how are you" to someone you dont very well. "Nasilsin" is more informal, something you would ask your friend.

Nasilsin is a more formal way of saying how are you
Nasilsiniz is a more informal way.
