How is "however" translated in Creole in this piece here: "...however you want it" I am not sure I want to use NENPOT JAN for this. thanks!

O O!  I was going to suggest Nenpòt jan w vle'l 
If you don't want to use nenpòt jan, then you can say jan w vle'l la.

However (in whatever way?) adverb → nenpòt jan, nenpòt fason, nenpòt mannyè
