Originally "AIN'T" is a contraction of "are" and "not" - so "ain't" means "are not".
This is slang language and it's never used by those who speak English properly.
Examples:
- You ain't ... = You are not...
- You ain't going / You ain't goin' = Your are not going
Subsequently, "ain't " replaces all the declension of the verb "to be" in the present and the negative, as well as the verb "to have" in certain cases:
- I ain't... = I am not
- You ain't done it = "You have not done it"
