Read & notice
In 밥이, the final ㅂ is pronounced at the start of the following vowel-initial particle: [바비]. Similarly, 문이 is [무니]. Brackets here show a pronunciation guide, not a replacement spelling. Keep writing 밥이 and 문이.
This beginner pattern applies to these particle examples; it is not a rule that every written final consonant always moves unchanged. Consonant clusters and other environments need further rules.
