Indonesian Survival Phrases Lesson 17. Counting 11-100
Today we're going to continue on with counting as we cover 11-100. Let's just quickly review 1-10.
1
satu
2
dua
3
tiga
4
This has two forms: empat and pat
5
lima
6
This also has two forms: enam and nam
7
tujuh
8
delapan
9
sembilan
10
sepuluh
0
This also has two forms: nol and kosong
In Indonesian counting from 11-20 is also very straightforward so let's jump right in.
11
sebelas
12
dua belas
13
tiga belas
14
empat belas
15
lima belas
16
enam belas
17
tujuh belas
18
delapan belas
19
sembilan belas
20
dua puluh
Numbers from 21-99 are formed by combining numbers we have already covered, so "21" is "20" which is duapuluh and "one" which is satu, duapuluh satu. And the rest of the numbers up to 99 are constructed in much the same way: the multiple of ten, which we'll get to in a moment, plus the "ones" numeral. Here are the other multiples of ten:
30
tiga puluh
40
empat puluh
50
lima puluh
60
enam puluh
70
tujuh puluh
80
delapan puluh
90
sembilan puluh
Finally we have the number for 100, which is seratus. For other multiples of a hundred, simply add different numerals, just like we did for multiples of ten, to the hundreds root, which is ratus. In addition to the numbers we’ve gone over so far, you’ll probably need to learn some higher order numbers as well. Especially when you are dealing with money. Let’s start with “one thousand” which is seribu. The most important thing is the root for “thousand” which is ribu. You can then add other numerals to form multiples of a thousand. If you are doing some high skill shopping, perhaps figuring out how much you have to pay for your stay at the hotel, you might be dealing in millions. One million is sejuta. Well, the root for million is juta. Once you learn these higher order numerals you should be on your way to count beyond the million.
Okay to close out today’s lesson we’d like for you to practice what you’ve just learned. I’ll provide you with the English equivalent of the phrase and you’re responsible for saying the Indonesian phrase out loud or in Indonesian, dengan keras. You’ll have a few seconds before I give you the answer so selamat sukses, that means "good luck!" in Indonesian.
All right so here we go!
“eleven” (sebelas, se-be-las, sebelas)
“twelve” (dua belas, du-a be-las, dua belas)
“thirteen” (tiga belas, ti-ga be-las, tiga belas)
“twenty” (dua puluh, du-a pu-luh, dua puluh)
“fifty” (lima puluh, li-ma pu-luh, lima puluh)
“one hundred” (seratus, se-ra-tus, seratus)
“one thousand” (seribu, se-ri-bu, seribu)
Alright, that's going to do it for today!
