Hi Ezequiel! Ain't is a very colloquial word usually from the southern parts of the U.S. It is considered "improper English" but means "is/are not." Personally it is just as short as saying "isn't or aren't," but I think it is used more for effect than anything. Another similar word that is very characteristic of the south is "y'all" meaning "you all."
