I'm doing it for someone who doesn't speak Japanese to be used in a production that will be viewed by many people, some of who probably do speak Japanese, and most of who at least are used to hearing Japanese through anime. Someone will hear it and appreciate that it is correct (once it *is* correct anyway)

Thank you for teaching that construction. I'm sure I've heard it, but never had it "formally" taught to me.

about the 'zo', it seems like that particular verb isn't something common enough that people would know (if you're thinking it's "to hide something" I had the wrong kanji and have corrected it in my most recent post), so the end of that sentence will probably be changing anyway. If it still ends up sounding awkward, I might change it to 'ze'. I was figuring he said 'zo' in the first two lines though, and wanted to be consistent. If someone is prone to saying 'zo', would they be likely to also say 'ze'? Or is it more of a style like 'ne' vs. 'na'?
