Attested early 14th century,[1] of onomatopoeic origin. Compare Danish ha, Dutch ha, Finnish ha, Hungarian ha, Latin ha, Latvian ha, Swedish ha.

Interjection

    Ha, ha, ha! That’s funny.
  2. An exclamation of triumph or discovery.
    Ha! Checkmate!
  3. (archaic) An exclamation of grief.
  4. (dated) A sound of hesitation: er, um.
Usage notes
edit
  • When used to express laughter, the word may be reduplicated in order to suggest expressive or sincere laughter. A single ha! (virtually always with an exclamation mark) may be used to express mild amusement or merely a polite reaction to something intended to be funny. In modern and informal usage, reduplication tends to be without spaces. See haha for more information on those forms.
