Definitions by Nils Kelly

Common Japanese expression, short for "ah so desu ka".

"Ah" means "ah" like in English.

"So" means "that kind of thing" or "that way".

"Desu ka" (pronounced "des-ka") means "is it"? Desu is the verb to be, and ka makes it a question.

So the meaning is "oh, that's how it is."
Kyou-wa ii tenki desu!
Ahso!

It's a nice day today!
Ahso!
