"Men liv la ou te vle li a." ("Here is the book you wanted to read.") Question: Are the articles "la" and "a" correctly used in this sentence. ? Is the noun phrase article "a" necessary? Could one say "Men liv la ou te vle li" or "Men liv ou te vle li a

Yes. Both articles are used correctly.
Yes. The article is necessary.

"Men liv la ou te vle li a." (Here we have two articles. We could easily omit "la")
So that we may write it as:
"Men liv ou te vle li a." (We really truly need JUST ONE article, usually placed at the end of the sentence )
Here's the book you wanted to read.

"Men liv la ou te vle li."  Does not sound right in H. Creole.
