'you ask me?' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'easiest way around island' is the wordplay.
'way' is an anagram indicator (another way of arranging the letters).
'around' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'island' becomes 'i' (geographical abbreviation).
'easiest' anagrammed gives 'asiseet'.
'asiseet' enclosing 'i' is 'AS I SEE IT'.

'if' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
