Learn Bahasa Indonesia (part4)

In this part, I try to teach on numbers.

Number - Nomer (no-mer)

Counting numbers:

1 = Satu (sa-tu)

2 = Dua (du-a)

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)

11 = Sebelas (se-be-las)

12 and so on .... = Just put one number and add 'belas'. e.g - Duabelas (12, du-a-be-las), Tigabelas (13, ti-ga-be-las),... only number 11 that different.

20 = Duapuluh (du-a-pu-luh)

21 = Dua puluh satu (du-a-sa-tu, (20+1)), put 'puluh' before 1. And it same for the rest until 99.

100 = Seratus (se-ra-tus), not 'Satu+Ratus'. For 100, become 'Se' not 'Satu', but if the number like this;

101 = Seratus satu, not Seratus se. It becomes normal like in one digit number.

102 = Seratus dua (100+2)

110 = Seratus sepuluh (100+10)

200 = Duaratus

201 = Duaratus satu (200+1)

1000 = Seribu (se-ri-bu)

1100 = Seribuseratus (1000+100)

1111 = Seribuseratu sebelas (1000+100+11)

2000 = Duaribu

3000 = Tigaribu

While numbers for place is different for counting words

1st = Pertama

2nd... = For 2nd and so on just add 'Ke' before number. e.g - 2nd = Kedua (ke-du-a), 3rd = Ketiga, 4th = Keempat and the rest is same, add 'Ke'

Introduction

Let me introduce myself = Ijinkan Saya memperkenalkan diri (i-jin-kan-sa-ya-mem-per-ke-nal-kan-di-ri)

My name is ... = Nama Saya ... (na-ma-sa-ya....)

I'm from ... = Saya dari ... (sa-ya-da-ri...)

USA = Indonesian usually just say Amerika (a-me-ri-ka) or Amerika Serikat (a-me-ri-ka-se-ri-kat). Amerika refers to USA, not the whole America

UK = Inggris (ing-gris)

Greece = Yunani (yu-na-ni)

Norway = Norwegia (nor-we-gi-a)

Belgium Belgia (bel-gi-a)

Japan = Jepang (je-pang)

Netherlands = Indonesian usually say Belanda (be-lan-da) or Holand while mostly Indonesian does not know Netherlands, Belanda or Holand are common.

South Korea = Korea Selatan (ko-re-a-se-la-tan) or Korsel for short words

North Korea = Korea Utara (ko-re-a-u-ta-ra) or Korut for short words

Russia = Rusia (single 'S')

Spain = Sepanyol (se-pa-nyol)

Argentina (no different)

Uruguay = Uruguai

Germany = Jerman (jer-man)

Singapore = Singapura or Singapur

In Indonesia, word Indo is using for people that their mom/dad form outside Indonesia (Half- Indonesian) or Bule (bu-le), but Bule refers to people from outside Indonesia. While words Indo also use of people from Indonesia that life on other country, or Indonesia descent.

e.g - (see this people that Indo)
