`chokki' wa nihongo de, `snip' to omoimasu.

Ohh.  Zen sees.

According to Zen's Wa/Ei Jiten, "chokki" means vest, or waistcoat.

"Chokkou suru" means to "go straight (to)" or "run through (to)" or "fly

the same meaning as "snip" in this context.

Zen is not familiar enough with the verb structure to conjugate this
properly.  What would be the imperitive?
