In the Bahamas, it can express surprise (3)
I believe the answer is:
aha
'in the bahamas it can express surprise' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'in the bahamas it' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'AHA' can be found hidden inside 'bahamas it'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for aha that I've seen before include "Cry of surprise" , "I've got it!" , "Cry of triumph" , "Expression of surprise, satisfaction or triumph" , "Triumphant cry" .)
