do u understand just by seeing the table above?? well, i hope yes ^^ coz we will continue the lesson to the thousands =)

NumberWrittingSpelling
1.000seribu se-ri-bu
2.000 dua ribu du-wa ri-bu
6.000 enam ribu e-nam ri-bu
2.008 dua ribu delapan du-wa ri-bu de-la-pan
4.019 empat ribu sembilan belas
5.382 lima ribu tiga ratus delapan puluh dua
10.000sepuluh ribu
30.000 tiga puluh ribu
42.000 empat puluh dua ribu
100.000seratus ribu
1.000.000satu juta


in thousands number, we use comma (,) not with pull stop (.) in Indonesian.
so if in Europe and US we write 1,032, we will write 1.302 in Indonesian.

n for the years, don’t use comma ^^. example: now it’s 2008.
and for date: Senin, 15 Desember 2008.

here’s how to write currency: Rp10.000,00 => sepuluh ribu Rupiah

how is it? can u understand this lesson? if u have any question, just comment here =)

Part 5: numbers in Indonesian (1 to 100)

hello!! XD

let’s continue our ‘let’s learn Indonesian’ lesson! ^^ after knowing the month and days, it’ll be perfect if we learn about the dates (in Indonesian: tanggal). writing and saying dates in Indonesian is same as in numbers. so i decide to write this in numbers in Indonesian (1 to 100). hajimemashou! XD

NumberWrittingSpelling
1satusa-tu
2duadu-wa
3tigati-ga
4empatem-pat
5limali-ma
6ename-nam
7tujuhtu-juh
8delapande-la-pan
9sembilansem-bi-lan
10sepuluhse-pu-luh


NumberWrittingSpelling
11sebelasse-be-las
12dua belasdu-wa be-las
13tiga belasti-ga be-las
14empat belasem-pat be-las


so in Indonesian, from number 12 to 19, just say the second number then add word “belas”. get it?
ok, it’s the example:

15. see the second number, it’s 5 which in Indonesian is lima. so to say 15=>lima+belas=>lima belas.

another example =) :
19=>sembilan+belas=>sembilan belas

1040
NumberWrittingSpelling
10sepuluhse-pu-luh
20dua puluhdu-wa pu-luh
30tiga puluhti-ga pu-luh
40empat puluhem-pat pu-luh


can notice what the conclusion is? yup! u right! to write number like 20, 30, 40,…..,90 just say the first number then add word “puluh”. example:
70=>tujuh+puluh=>tujuh puluh

easy, isn’t it?? ok, let’s continue!! XD

NumberWrittingSpelling
21dua puluh satudu-wa pu-luh sa-tu
22dua puluh duadu-wa pu-luh du-wa
34tiga puluh empatti-ga pu-luh em-pat

hello again! =)
are you still interested to learn Indonesian? if yes, hope u can learn this too! :)

if we visit new place, we need to introduce ourself. in Indonesian, introduce yourself is Mengenalkan Diri. please check this table ^^

How are you?Apa kabar?
My name is...Nama saya...

beside saying hello, in English there are many ways to say greetings, so are there in Indonesian :). almost forget, greeting in Indonesian means Salam ^^

Good morning = Selamat pagi
Good afternoon = Selamat siang
Good evening = Selamat sore (around 3:00 PM – 6:00 PM)
Good night = Selamat malam
Good bye = Selamat tinggal
Bye-bye = Sampai jumpa
See you = Sampai jumpa
Take care! = Hati-hati!

in Indonesian, Good night is not only said before going to bed, but also said when you meet someone at night (from 7:00 PM)

and if you want to ask someone condition, you can say: “Apa kabar?”. it’s d Indonesian of “How are you?”

and you can answer:
I’m fine = Saya baik
I’m good = Saya baik
I’m not really good = Saya tidak terlalu baik
