The primary distinction between dependent pronouns and independent pronouns in Mauritian Creole is that independent pronouns are always stressed. In other words nu 'we' (unstressed) is dependent whereas nu (stressed) is independent. The same applies to all the personal pronouns. In addition, there are special dependent subject pronouns in the 1SG (mo, vs. object/independent pronoun mwa) and in the familiar 2SG (to, vs. object/independent pronoun twa).
