LESSON NO. 3 (NUMBERS)

Dear friends.
Hope you will learn the numbers 0 - 9  in Malay language in last lesson very well. And in this lesson we expand the topic "numbers" more. And I am sure that after this lesson every one can speak, understand, read or write the numbers in Malay language from 0 to million and trillion as well. First we learn the numbers from 11 to 19 then relate the all numbers.

11             Se belas
12             Dua belas
13             Tiga belas
14             Empat belas
15             Lima belas
16             Enam belas
17             Tujuh belas
18             Lapan belas
19             Sambilan belas

You see the above numbers and note that only belas is added to first 9 numbers. One another thing you will remember that "Se" is short form of  "Satu". Now we proceed further.

10              Se puluh
20              Dua puluh
30              Tiga puluh
40              Empat puluh
50              Lima puluh
60              Enam puluh
70              Tujuh puluh
80              Lapan puluh
90              Sambilan puluh

Friends here you see only "Puluh" is added to first 9 digits to make them ten to ninety. Now we relate these numbers and learn from 0 to 99

1         Satu                    11        Se belas           21     Dua puluh satu         31    Tiga puluh satu
2         Dua                    12        Dua belas         22     Dua puluh dua          32    Tiga puluh dua
3         Tiga                    13        Tiga belas         23     Dua puluh tiga          33    Tiga puluh tiga
4         Empat                 14
5         Lima
6         Enam
7         Tujuh
8         Lapan
9         Sambilan                                      
10       Se puluh              20       Dua puluh        30      Tiga puluh                 40      Empat puluh

And so on up to 99 which is read as Sambilan puluh sambilan.
Now

100                Se ratus     (One Hundred)
1000              Se ribu      (One Thousand)
1000000        Se juta       (One Million)

103     Se ratus tiga
125     Se ratus dua puluh lima
178     Se ratus tujuh puluh lapan
255     Dua ratus lima puluh lima

1034   Se ribu tiga puluh empat
1692   Se ribu enam ratus sambilan dua
4846   Empat ribu lapan ratus empat puluh enam

1365839  Se juta tiga ratus enam puluh lima ribu lapan ratus tiga puluh sambilan.

Please learn these two lessons carefully after that you will be able to read, write, speak or understand any number in Malay.
