"Ain" isn't a word; "ain't" is slang for "is not" or "are not". Sometimes, in really, really bad slang "ain't" can work simply to negate a sentence. Examples: 1.) He ain't here; 2.) They ain't coming; 3.) I ain't got any (i.e. "I don't have any").

    Well, I suppose, thinking more about it, "ain't" is a slang used to negate the verbs "to be" and "to have,". Here are some examples: 1.) I am not happy = I ain't happy; 2.) He does not have any idea = He ain't got no [any] idea; 3.) They are not going to go because they do not have tickets = They ain't going to go because they ain't got tickets. Make sense?
