Heaven forfend that we should perpetuate the notion that the former
is not colloquial, since overt prenexes are often unavoidable, except
by not saying what one really means.

Seriously, zo'u is *the* way. The Lojban design provides a way to
say it, and zo'u is it. So the answer to your question is to
make zo'u colloquial. Then it's easy to say in colloquial Lojban.
