nan = what

ka = form of question

Since 何が? [nan ga] = What?, how could nan desu ka mean "Why" or "Why is it?"
なぜ ?= [na ze]? = Why?
Browse to the part where it has a word list in different languages at the websites below. It will tell you [if you look at Japanese] in hiragana the words for what & why respectively. I used Wikipedia to look up the sounds for the hiragana used at the website.

Nande means what or why and desu ka is a broad phrase that expresses existance and can mean "is it?", "Are you?",etc. so i guess it depends on how it's used

not sure about "nande..."
nan desu ka means "what is it"
"nande" means something like "why is it" or "what is it"
i'm not fluent though.
