Indonesian Number Worksheets - Examples and Meaning

Hello!

When you learn any languages, one of the first thing you might learn is number. Yes, you would really want to master how to say one, two, three until uncountable number. You have understand much about Indonesian Numbers, but let’s go deeper and explore more about numbers. Therefore, we will discuss about Indonesian Number Worksheets. Before we start, check these following useful articles.

Regular numbers in Indonesian

Let’s take a look to these list of regular numbers in Bahasa Indonesia, then try to finish the following worksheets.

0–9 (zero until nine)

0 (zero) = nol
1 (one) = satu
2 (two) = dua
3 (three) = tiga
4 (empat) = four
5 (five) = lima
6 (six) = enam
7 (seven) = tujuh
8 (eight) = delapan
9 (nine) = sembilan
10 (sepuluh) = ten

Belas (11–19)

belas is similar with the suffix -teen in English

Formula = last number + belas
Notes: satu (one) usually replaced by prefix se- (Check: Prefix “Se-“) except for one million/billion/trillion

11 (eleven) = sebelas
12 (twelve) = dua belas
13 (thirteen) = tiga belas
14 (fourteen) =
15 (fifteen) =
16 (sixteen) =
17 (seventeen) =
18 (eighteen) =
19 (nineteen) =

Puluhan (20–99)

puluh is similar with the -ty in English number

Formula :

first number + puluh (if the last number is zero, e.g. = 20 is dua puluh)
first number + puluh + last number (if the last number is not zero, e.g. = 21 is dua puluh satu)

Here are the examples and exercise

20 (twenty) = dua puluh
21 (twenty-one) = dua puluh satu
22 (twenty-two) = dua puluh dua
33 (thirty-three) = tiga puluh tiga
44 (forty-four) = empat puluh empat
55 (fifty-five) = lima puluh lima
66 (sixty-six) = enam puluh enam
77 (seventy-seven) = tujuh puluh tujuh
88 (eighty-eight) = delapan puluh delapan
99 (ninety-nine) = sembilan puluh sembilan

Now, let’s try to name these following numbers in Bahasa Indonesia!

43 (forty-three) =
29 (twenty-nine) =
73 (seventy-three) =
68 (sixty-eight) =
27 (twenty-seven) =
81 (eighty-one) =
94 (ninety-four) =
75 (seventy-five) =
80 (eighty) =
32 (thirty-two) =

Now try to identify this Bahasa Indonesia number

tujuh puluh dua =
lima puluh =
empat puluh delapan =
tujuh puluh satu=
sembilan puluh enam =

Notes: you could informally mention those ‘puluhan’ number one by one without the word ‘puluh (e.g. 77 = tujuh tujuh or 55 = lima lima), but it (tujuh tujuh) might become ambiguous with ‘tujuh tujuh’ that means ‘seven by seven’ or ‘two seven (a seven and a seven)’.

Ratusan (100–999)

Formula :

first number + ratus (if the last two number is zero, e.g. = 200 is dua ratus)
first number + ratus + last number (if the second number is zero, e.g. = 201 is dua ratus satu)
first number + last number + belas (if the second number is one, e.g. = 211 is dua ratus sebelas)
first number + ratus + second number + puluh + last number (if the last two number is not zero, e.g. = 221 is dua ratus dua puluh satu)

Examples:

100 (one-hundred) = seratus
101 (one-hundred and one) = seratus satu
230 (two-hundred and thirty) = dua ratus tiga puluh
417 (four-hundred and seventeen) = empat ratus tujuh belas
539 (five-hundred and thirty nine) = lima ratus tiga puluh sembilan
607 (six-hundred and seven) = enam ratus tujuh

Now try to name these following numbers:

543 =
666 –
809 =
912=
325 =
670 =

Ribuan (1000–9999)

Formula :

first number + ribu + second number + ratus + third number + puluh + last number (if the last two number is not zero, e.g. = 2222 is dua ribu dua ratus dua puluh dua)
first number + ribu (if the last three number is zero, e.g. = 2000 is dua ribu)
first number + ribu + last number (if the second and third number is zero, e.g. = 2001 is dua ribu satu)
first number + last number + belas/puluh (if the second number is one, e.g. = 2011 is dua ribu sebelas, 2020 is dua ribu dua puluh)

Here are the examples.

1000 (one-thousand) = seribu
3000 (three-thousand) = tiga ribu
1001 (one-thousand and one) = seribu satu
2002 (two-thousand and two) = dua ribu dua
2203 (two-thousand two hundred and three) = dua ribu dua ratus tiga
2212 (two-thousand two hundred and twelve) = dua ribu dua ratus dua belas
2334 (two-thousand three hundred and thirty four) = dua ribu tiga ratus tiga puluh empat

Now, try to finish these exercise

8567 =
3009 =
2760 =
5612 =
8805 =

Notes= if you want to separate the numbers by thousand (especially for currency), Bahasa Indonesia use dot/stop (.), e.g. 1.000 (one thousand)

Friction and Decimal in Indonesian

Similar two English, the formula for friction is = upper number + per + lower number except for special numbers like half and quarter

1/2 = satu per dua/seperdua/setengah (one per two/half)
1/4 = satu per empat/seperempat (one per four/quarter)
2/3 = dua per tiga (two per three)
3/4 = tiga per empat (three per four)

Try to name these following frictions

5/8 =
3/9 =
2/17 =
9/10 =
15/22 =

Furthermore, for decimal the formula is = first number + koma + number behind coma

Notes: koma is coma (,) that equal with English word for point (.) because in Bahasa Indonesia (,) is used to separate decimal numbers NOT point/stop (.)

0,23 (point two three) = nol koma dua puluh tiga/nol koma dua tiga (informal)
0,5 (half/point five) = setengah, nol koma lima
1,56 = satu koma lima puluh enam/satu koma lima enam
2,349 = dua koma tiga empat sembilan
8, 09 = delapan koma nol sembilan

For decimal number the word ‘puluh, ‘ratus’ and so on that used in regular number is optional, but the zero in the middle of the number should be mentioned! Now let’s try to finish these exercise:

2,4 =
8,904 =
7,32 =

Not quite hard, right? So, that’s example of Indonesian Number Worksheets. If you still want to know about Bahasa Indonesia, take a look of these following articles.
