17. Indonesian Number

Hi,

Apa kabar? It's been a long time i know. I hope you're all in a good condition! I'm going to make a triple update for the next 2 chapters. But in this one we are going to learn pronounce indonesian number. If you're feel confused about how to say the letter you can go to the fourth chapter about Indonesian alphabet pronunciation.

Let's get started!

A. Satuan

1 = Satu (Sa - tu)
2 = Dua (Du - wa)
3 = Tiga (Ti - ga)
4 = Empat (Em - pat)
5 = Lima (Li - ma)
6 = Enam (E - nam)
7= Tujuh (Tu - juh)
8

= Delapan (De - la - pan)
9 = Sembilan (Sem - bi - lan)
10 = Sepuluh (Se - pu - luh)

B. Belasan = Dozens

11 = Sebelas (Se - be - las)
12 = Dua belas (Du - a - be - las)
ect.

For dozens number, 12 - 19 you just need to add "Belas" behind the first number written with spacing. Example : 13 = Tiga belas.

C. Puluhan = Tens

20 = Duapuluh (Du - wa - pu - luh)
21 = Duapuluh satu (Du - wa - pu - luh - sa - tu)
22 = Duapuluh dua (Du - wa - pu - luh - du - wa)

For tens number, 20 - 90 you need yo add "Puluh" behind the first number written without spacing. Then you can add the name of the second number if necessary.

D. Ratusan = Hundreds

100 = Seratus (Se - ra - tus)
200 = Dua ratus (Du - wa - ra -tus)
300 = Tiga ratus (Ti - ga - ra -tus)

E. Ribuan = Thousands

1.000 = Seribu (Se - ri - bu)
2.000 = Dua ribu (Du - wa - ri - bu)
3.000 = Tiga ribu (Ti - ga - ri - bu)

Some punctuation in math

(+) Tambah
(-) Kurang
(÷) Bagi
(×) Kali
(=) Sama dengan

Okay, that's enough for number. I hope you learn something new. Time to go to the next chapter! :)
