Sure, "ain't" gets the attention, but what do "am'nt," "h'aint," and "b'aint" mean?
What’s all
the fuss over “ain’t” about? Is there really anything wrong with the word? Or
is it even a word?
The
colloquialism ain’t is a nonstandard contraction of the following: “am not;”
“are not;” “is not;” “have not;” and “has not.”
It is also
used in some dialects as a contraction for “do not,” “does not,” and “did not.”
For example, “We ain’t got any milk left.”
It derives
from the late 18th century word “amn’t,” which is a contraction of “am not.”
Amn’t and the related word “an’t” are rarely used anymore.
There are
several antiquated non-standard contractions. Hain’t means “has not” or “have
not.” And baint and bain’t mean “be not.”
The validity
of ain’t has been widely debated. On one hand, many people consider it to be an
acceptable contraction in everyday speech. But on the other hand, it seems that
just as many people consider its usage improper and simply “bad English.”
There is no
use denying how commonly ain’t appears in some of the most beloved expressions,
such as:
• “If it
ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”
• “He ain’t
what he used to be.”
• “You ain’t
heard (or seen) nothing yet.”
• “Say it
ain’t so, Joe!”
• “Ain’t it
the truth!”
