Usually it means "yes", as in "Ay, Edward will use women honourably" from Henry VI, Part iii. It's the same word as pirates and sailors use. (Hoist the mainsail! Ay, ay, captain. Are ye pirates? Ay!) It's pronounced the same as "eye".

"Ay" simply means "yes". It's pronounced like "eye". Think of how pirates talk: "Aye, Cap'n."
