To delve deeper into the meaning of amin, you need to study the interpretation of the hadith by scholars. According to NU Online, here are some interpretations that you need to pay attention to.
In the interpretation of "Ma'alimut Tanzil," Imam Al-Baghowi narrates a hadith from the companion Abu Hurairah. In that hadith, the Prophet said:
"When the imam recites 'ghairil maghdhubi alaihi wa lad dhalin,' you should respond with 'amin' because the angels also respond with 'amin' and the imam also recites 'amin'. Whoever's response of 'amin' coincides with the 'amin' of the angels, their past sins (minor sins) will be forgiven."
In line with that, Imam Ibn Kathir in "Tafsirul Qur'anil Azhim" says that the meaning of amin is "Allahumma, istajib" which means "O Lord, accept." The evidence for this view is a hadith narrated by Imam Ahmad, Abu Dawud, and At-Tirmidhi from Wa'il bin Hajar. The hadith states:
"I heard the Prophet recite, 'Ghairil maghdhubi alaihim wa lad dhallin,' then he said 'amin' with a long recitation (loudly according to Abu Dawud's narration)."
According to At-Tirmidhi, this hadith is hasan and is narrated from Sayyidina Ali, Ibn Mas'ud, and other companions.

Reading of Amin
1. Reading 'Amin' Like Reading Yasin
Imam Ibn Kathir said that a person is recommended to read 'amin' like reading 'Yasin' every time they finish reciting Surah Al-Fatihah.
2. Reading 'Amin' with Tashdid on Mim
Nashar Al-Qusyairi narrated the pronunciation of Al-Hasan and Ja'far As-Shadiq with tashdid on the mim, 'amin' as the pronunciation of "amminal baytal harama" in Surah Al-Maidah verse 2.
3. Reading 'Amin' After Surah Al-Fatihah
Imam Al-Baghawi said that a person is recommended to read 'amin' every time they finish reciting Surah Al-Fatihah with a separate pause from Surah Al-Fatihah, not at the beginning. The word 'amin' is also read with a light pronunciation on the mim 'amin'. According to the grammarians, the hamzah can be read long, which is 'aamiin', or short, which is 'amin'.

The meaning of 'amin' and its pronunciation have been explained above. Furthermore, you also need to know about the loud or soft pronunciation of 'amin'. Regarding this matter, there are differences of opinion among scholars. This difference of opinion is mentioned by Ibn Kathir in his interpretation.
If the imam forgets, the congregation should pronounce 'amin' loudly according to one opinion of the scholars. But if the imam pronounces 'amin' loudly, according to the new opinion, the congregation does not need to pronounce it loudly anymore. This is also the view of the Hanafi school of thought and a narration from Imam Malik because 'amin' is a remembrance (zikir) and therefore does not need to be pronounced loudly like other remembrances in prayer.
Another opinion according to the old opinion is that the congregation should still pronounce 'amin' loudly. This is also the view of the Hanbali school of thought and another narration from Imam Malik.
However, there are also scholars who associate the loudness and softness of the pronunciation of 'amin' with the size of the mosque or prayer room. If the mosque is small, the congregation does not need to pronounce 'amin' loudly. But if the mosque is large, then the congregation needs to pronounce it loudly so that it can be heard by other worshippers in the corners of the mosque.
Well, KLovers, that is the explanation of the meaning of 'amin' and the interpretations from the scholars. And Allah knows best.
