I need to explain when to use MWEN and when to use MWENS. From what I can see, we use MWEN with an adjective, e.g. li mwen gwo and we use MWENS with a noun, e.g. li gen mwens laj. Is that correct?
You are correct.
But, sometimes you could use MWENS before adjectives.
Li mwens kapab jodi a.
He's less able to day.
M mwens enterese jodi a.
I'm less interested today.
M mwens enkeyte kounye a.
I'm less anxious now.
MWEN is also used when telling time:
It's 2:50. (10 to 3)
Li twazè mwen dis.
It's 6:45. (15 to 7)
Li setè mwen ka.
MWENS (minus, less, fewer) is also used in other situations.
25 - 10 = 15
Vennsenk mwens dis egal kenz.
I need 10 people. No more no less.
M bezwen dis moun. Pa plis pa mwens.
It hurts less today.
Li fè m mal mwens jodi a.
