Hello all? I hope your day is always great as usual
Alright, today we will learn how to speak one of the languages in Indonesia, namely how to expose the Indonesian currency. The pronunciation of the currency may seem simple and trivial, but if we do not pay attention to it in the utterance, it is the same, the consequences can be fatal, even it could be a misunderstanding.
How to Say Indonesia Rupiah
Currency in the country of Indonesia itself is called ‘rupiah’. The Rupiah is a term for currencies in the Indonesian state in most circumstances. But the rupiah is more emphasized in formal circumstances. Formal addition “rupiah” is also the official language of the use of currency names in Indonesia.
Even so, the mention of our currency, in some circumstances, has an informal mention too, but the informal pronunciation, according to the author, would be highly recommended. Even so, there will still be many Indonesians who say it rather than formally speaking it.

How to Pronounce Indonesian Rupiah
There are a number of ways to actually pronounce our currency properly and formally according to justified spelling. So good and correct pronunciation must be in harmony with the writing of our currency in general. See the example below as follows:
- Rp.1000,00 is pronounced seribu rupiah (se-ri-bu ru-piah)
- Rp.10.000,00 is pronounced sepuluh ribu rupiah (se-pu-luh ri-bu ru-piah)
- Rp.100.000,00 is prononunced seratus ribu rupiah (se-ra-tus ri-bu ru-piah)
Basically, everything is the same, only when zero increases one behind (before the comma) that means there is a difference in the number or nominal number.
If there are three or four zeros, then they are in the thousands category, if there are five zeros, then they are in the category of hundreds, and if there are six then they are in the category of millions and so on up to billions or trillions.

The value of Indonesian Rupiah
Basically, the form of pronunciation and writing of currencies in Indonesia will be very different from in other countries, for example, in this case, is the United States. This difference will be felt because the nominal difference is too far too with Indonesia itself.
As for example in Indonesia, 1 US $ dollar is equivalent to around 13 thousand rupiahs (Rp. 13,000.00). Imagine the difference that is very far which also determines the different ways of writing and pronunciation, because the currency conversion of each country has a nominal or value that varies from one to the other.
