"Yatsuteru no" is pronounced "yatteru no". Note that the "tsu" 
character is a little smaller than the others.

The sentence means "What are you doing?"
Some other examples:

-"Nani shiteru/shiteiru no?" "Nani mo." ("What are you 
doing?" "Nothing.")
-"Nani yonderu/yondeiru no?" "Suiri shousetsu da yo." ("What are you 
reading?" "A mystery novel.")
-"Nani benkyou shiteru/shiteiru no?" "Nihongo da yo." ("What are you 
studying?" "Japanese.")

Make some sentences yourself with the verbs you know to learn this 
sentence pattern.
