am not or ain't?

What is the correct one
'' I ain't try "
Or " I am not trying "
Also I do not know when can I use ain't .. Anyy help??

 

Ain't is very much a slang word. You only hear it in music and from certain dialects in English.

I would consider it poor English, and a person saying "ain't" would be considered low-class by many English speakers.

I advise you to not even try to use it! Your English will be better for it. 

In any event, the correct phrase is: I ain't going to try. You should say "I am not trying" or "I am not going to try"

As an ESL speaker, use "am not." "Ain't" is a colloquialism in spoken English. Don't assume that some is "low class" or uneducated because they use it. It simply means that the person came from a community, regional or racial, that used it.

Anyone correct. Use mean verb instead of aint

I'm not an expert but "ain't" is slang and I don't think you should use it, ever.
