Definition
“Mon” is most commonly a short written form of “Monday.” In some regional or informal speech, especially in Caribbean or Scottish contexts, it can also mean “my” or be used to address someone like “friend” or “man.”
Usage & Nuances
Most learners will only need the abbreviation meaning in calendars, schedules, and timetables. The other uses are dialectal and uncommon in standard English, so avoid using them unless you are copying a specific regional voice or quoted speech.
