what is the difference between "gen" and "genyen" & "souple" and "tanpri"

gen and genyen mean "to have".
They are used interchangeably like " I have" and "I've".

Tanpri and Souple both mean "please".

Tanpri literally means "I beg you"
Souple is the contracted form of "silvouplè" and literally means "If it pleases you".
