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
