csuhaj! - an interjection
csuhajja: csuhaj as a noun + genitive suffix -ja

explanations:
<https://www.arcanum.com/en/online-kiadvanyok/Lexikonok-a-magyar-nyelv-ertelmezo-szotara-1BE8B/cs-22AB7/csuhaj-23D92/>

(indulatszó "interjection")

ꏨ

synonym:

hű!
hűha!

[in positive contexts, incl. the sense of "atta!" e.g. "atta boy!"]

Csuhaj! - the best Engl. equivalents seem to be these, especially the
y- interjections:

"yay!" - "why!" - "well-well-well!" - "yikes!"
"wow!" - "hooray!" - "yippee!" - "yahoo!" - "yeehaw!"

(mostly positive context; or introducing irony/sarcasm concerning
bad/dire situations, when it rather means ... <sheesh>, <shucks>,
<boy-oh-boy!>)

ꏨ

Danger of mixing up:

(1) csuha (pejorative): the (black) frock/clothing of priests
csuhás (pejorative): any priest (like German Pfaff(e) and
Pope, if orthodox) [hypothesis: < csúnya "ugly" + ruha "garment"]

(2) csuhé: (a) "skin", the outer layer, of the plant maize/corn
- a.k.a. csuha
(b) "Lieschen Müller" (average, modest woman)
