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

Number	Writting	Spelling
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

Number	Writting	Spelling
11	sebelas	se-be-las
12	dua belas	du-wa be-las
13	tiga belas	ti-ga be-las
14	empat belas	em-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

Number	Writting	Spelling
10	sepuluh	se-pu-luh
20	dua puluh	du-wa pu-luh
30	tiga puluh	ti-ga pu-luh
40	empat puluh	em-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

Number	Writting	Spelling
21	dua puluh satu	du-wa pu-luh sa-tu
22	dua puluh dua	du-wa pu-luh du-wa
34	tiga puluh empat	ti-ga pu-luh em-pat
45	empat puluh lima	em-pat pu-luh li-ma
68	enam puluh delapan	e-nam pu-luh de-la-pan
99	sembilan puluh sembilan	sem-bi-lan pu-luh sem-bi-lan
100	seratus	se-ra-tus

how about those ones??? u know what the pattern is??? bingo! you did a good job! for everyone who don’t understand well, let me tell u ;), example:
79=>70+9=>tujuh puluh sembilan
