Hello!
I'm learning Japanese and have a question about nan/nani. Is there a rule when to use what of both?
Thanks in advance.

Nan means “what” and is used before such sounds as D(ex. Koreha NAN desuka?), N(ex. Kore ha NAN no hon desuka?) and T(NANto!!=showing that you are surprised). Nan also means “How many” if it is used with a counter. (ex. Nan nin =How many people?, Nihongo ha nannen benkyou shiteimasuka?= How many years have you been studied Japanese?)
Nani means “what” as well.
Ex. Kore ha Nani iro desuka? =what color is this?
Anata ha nani wo shiteimasuka?= what are you doing?
※There are some exceptions. For example, 何回生?(Nankaisei)=What is your grade at the university? Kyou ha NANyoubi desuka?=what day is it today?
-In such cases, it may be easier to pronounce NAN than Nani.
Good luck! Ganbattekudasai ^^*
