"Nem vagy jól?"
Translation:Are you not well?

Why is 'jól vagy?' only translated as 'you are fine?' but 'Nem vagy jól' will only take 'you are not good?'
Agree, "you're not fine" should be a translation. Fine and good are really interchangeable in English even though they shouldn't be grammatically.

I wouldn't think it is not used, though it sounds less familiar than "nem vagy jól?".

Try to translate it not just by the words, by meaning it could be even "you feel sick?"

I think the following should also be a valid answer:
''Are you not good?''
(Admittedly, the other answer sounds better.)

If you translate aren't you good - would be "nem vagy JÓ?" If you only say "Jó vagy" that means "you are good", but "jól vagy" - "you feel good".

When I have to write it, the best grammatical way of translating it, would be "Aren't you okay?" It's a question, after all...
