Using the verb ござんす ["to be"] in modern Japanese


If I use the verb ござんす

As in

> [しからばこの身を
> お疑いでござんすか](https://forvo.com/word/%E3%81%97%E3%81%8B%E3%82%89%E3%81%B0%E3%81%93%E3%81%AE%E8%BA%AB%E3%82%92_%E3%81%8A%E7%96%91%E3%81%84%E3%81%A7%E3%81%94%E3%81%96%E3%82%93%E3%81%99%E3%81%8B/#ja)
>
> So, do you doubt me?

Will it be similar to English " _Art thou doubting me_ " or will it give my
speech a refined flavour or perhaps a dialectical one ?




ござんす is an **un** sophisticated variant of ござります/ございます. Typical users of ござんす
are (obsequious) merchants, craftsmen, geisha, rōnin, etc. in samurai dramas.
It is very unlikely that a truly noble person or a high-ranked samurai speaks
this way in dramas and movies. Of course, modern people never speak this way
unless they are imitating someone.
