I'll surely need this knowledge of how to say "we are not boys, we are MEN" in the future. I'll be sure to visit Romania with my few guy friends just so we can say that
Yes, it would help, wouldn't it? if they'd give us sentences we are likely to want to use. There's only so much rice and apples we'd be able to eat.
Men Bărbat/Bărbați as in beard or barbers. Băiat/Băieți well the Băi seems to just be pronounced boy. I guess I will later understand when 'at' changes to eți or ați

Question- Why do I not hear the "i" sound after baieti and barbati? Is it not pronounced?
"In most cases the i at the end of a word is pronounced as a short, silent i together with the previous vowel or consonant. This type of i is barely heard. Nevertheless it is very important to pronounce it (silently) as without it the meaning of a word can change." Learnro.com

I find it helps to put the tongue in a palatalized position, as if one were on the brink of saying "tyi" without fully vocalizing the syllable. But you do get a clear difference in sound between the "t" of bărbat and "ți" of bărbați
no, its not, all words with i like that at the end are not pronounced and the t is pronounced like the zz's in pizza
