Man, why do these little words have to be so complicated?

I ain't know! :-P

I ain't know!

Very clever 8-)

, but to be nitpicking, is that possible? Maybe "I ain't got a clue" or something like that :-D

It's also fun to derive other words like "ain'tcha" out of it :-D

Of course, if you use it in a school essay it will always be wrong, even if you use it "correctly".

Just out of curiosity, why the initial enquiry anyway?

...is that possible?

I guess it ain't! But as richerby said:

- "ain't" is short for "am not", "are not" or "is not".
- we also have "ain't" meaning "has not" or "have not".

So, I imagine the next step will be to broaden its use by also making it mean "do not" and "does not" , though in this specific case I kinda like "dunno". :-D

I am sure Tewald will have some words on this.
