Malay (individual language) Vocabulary → Numbers and Counting

Welcome to our lesson on Numbers and Counting in Malay! Numbers are an essential part of any language, as they allow us to describe quantities, tell time, and engage in everyday conversations. In this lesson, we'll explore both cardinal and ordinal numbers, which are fundamental for anyone looking to communicate effectively in Malay.

This lesson is designed for complete beginners, so don't worry if you're just starting out. By the end, you'll be able to count, use numbers in sentences, and understand the basics of numbering in Malay.

We'll structure this lesson as follows:

1. Introduction to Cardinal Numbers

2. Introduction to Ordinal Numbers

3. Practical Exercises

4. Answers and Explanations

Now, let’s dive into the wonderful world of numbers in Malay!

Cardinal Numbers[edit | edit source]

Cardinal numbers are used for counting and answering the question "How many?" In Malay, they are quite straightforward and follow a pattern. Here’s a table to help you get started:

Malay (individual language)	Pronunciation	English
satu	/satu/	one
dua	/dua/	two
tiga	/tiɡa/	three
empat	/əmˈpat/	four
lima	/lima/	five
enam	/ənam/	six
tujuh	/tuʤuh/	seven
lapan	/lapan/	eight
sembilan	/səmbilan/	nine
sepuluh	/səpuˈluh/	ten
sebelas	/səˈbɛlas/	eleven
dua belas	/dua ˈbɛlas/	twelve
tiga belas	/tiɡa ˈbɛlas/	thirteen
empat belas	/əmˈpat ˈbɛlas/	fourteen
lima belas	/lima ˈbɛlas/	fifteen
enam belas	/ənam ˈbɛlas/	sixteen
tujuh belas	/tuʤuh ˈbɛlas/	seventeen
lapan belas	/lapan ˈbɛlas/	eighteen
sembilan belas	/səmbilan ˈbɛlas/	nineteen
dua puluh	/dua ˈpu.luh/	twenty

Key Points:

Satu is one of the most important numbers, as it is often used in greetings or simple phrases.

Counting continues from twenty onwards by combining numbers (e.g., dua puluh satu means twenty-one).

Let’s see how we can use these cardinal numbers in sentences:

1. Saya ada dua kucing. (I have two cats.)

2. Dia membeli lima buah epal. (She bought five apples.)

Ordinal Numbers[edit | edit source]

Ordinal numbers indicate the position or order of something in a list. In Malay, they are formed by adding the word "ke-" before the cardinal number. Here’s a table of the first ten ordinal numbers:

Malay (individual language)	Pronunciation	English
pertama	/pərˈtama/	first
kedua	/kəˈdua/	second
ketiga	/kəˈtiɡa/	third
keempat	/kəmˈpat/	fourth
kelima	/kəˈlima/	fifth
keenam	/kəˈənam/	sixth
ketujuh	/kəˈtuʤuh/	seventh
kelapan	/kəˈlapan/	eighth
kesembilan	/kəsəmbilan/	ninth
kesepuluh	/kəsəpuˈluh/	tenth

Key Points:

Ordinal numbers are often used in dates, rankings, or sequence.

For example, Hari pertama means the first day.

Here’s how we can use these ordinal numbers in sentences:

1. Hari kedua bulan ini, saya pergi bercuti. (On the second day of this month, I went on vacation.)

2. Kedudukan ketiga dalam pertandingan itu sangat membanggakan. (The third position in the competition is very proud.)

-As a Malay language teacher with 20 years of experience, I know that learning numbers and counting is an essential part of mastering any language. In this lesson, we will cover the basics of Malay numbers and counting, including cardinal and ordinal numbers.
+=== Cardinal Numbers ===
+Cardinal numbers are used for counting and answering the question "How many?" In Malay, they are quite straightforward and follow a pattern. Here’s a table to help you get started:

+| tiga  || /tiɡa/ || three
-== Cardinal Numbers ==
-Cardinal numbers are used to represent quantity or the number of things. Malay cardinal numbers are quite straightforward and simple to learn. Here are the numbers from 1 to 10:
+|-
+| empat  || /əmˈpat/ || four
+|-
+| lima  || /lima/ || five
+|-
+| enam  || /ənam/ || six
+|-
+| tujuh  || /tuʤuh/ || seven
+|-
+| lapan  || /lapan/ || eight

+|-
+| sembilan belas  || /səmbilan ˈbɛlas/ || nineteen
+|-
+| dua puluh  || /dua ˈpu.luh/ || twenty
+|}
+'''Key Points:'''
+* '''Satu''' is one of the most important numbers, as it is often used in greetings or simple phrases.
+* Counting continues from twenty onwards by combining numbers (e.g., '''dua puluh satu''' means twenty-one).
+Let’s see how we can use these cardinal numbers in sentences:
+. Saya ada '''dua''' kucing. (I have '''two''' cats.)
+. Dia membeli '''lima''' buah epal. (She bought '''five''' apples.)
+=== Ordinal Numbers ===
+Ordinal numbers indicate the position or order of something in a list. In Malay, they are formed by adding the word "ke-" before the cardinal number. Here’s a table of the first ten ordinal numbers:
 {| class="wikitable"
 ! Malay (individual language) !! Pronunciation !! English
 |-
-| satu || 'satu' || one
+| pertama  || /pərˈtama/ || first
 |-
-| dua || 'dua' || two
+| kedua  || /kəˈdua/ || second
 |-
-| tiga || 'tiga' || three
+| ketiga  || /kəˈtiɡa/ || third
 |-
-| empat || 'empat' || four
+| keempat  || /kəmˈpat/ || fourth
 |-
-| lima || 'lima' || five
+| kelima  || /kəˈlima/ || fifth
 |-
-| enam || 'enam' || six
+| keenam  || /kəˈənam/ || sixth
 |-
-| tujuh || 'tujuh' || seven
+| ketujuh  || /kəˈtuʤuh/ || seventh
 |-
-| lapan || 'lapan' || eight
+| kelapan  || /kəˈlapan/ || eighth
 |-
-| sembilan || 'sembilan' || nine
+| kesembilan  || /kəsəmbilan/ || ninth
 |-
-| sepuluh || 'sepuluh' || ten
+| kesepuluh  || /kəsəpuˈluh/ || tenth
 |}
-From 11 onwards, we use a combination of Malay numbers to create larger numbers. For example, 11 is 'sebelas' which is a combination of 'satu' (one) and 'belas' (ten). Likewise, 21 is 'dua puluh satu' which means 'two tens one'.
+'''Key Points:'''
+* Ordinal numbers are often used in dates, rankings, or sequence.
+* For example, '''Hari pertama''' means '''the first day'''.
+Here’s how we can use these ordinal numbers in sentences:
+. '''Hari kedua''' bulan ini, saya pergi bercuti. (On the '''second day''' of this month, I went on vacation.)
+. '''Kedudukan ketiga''' dalam pertandingan itu sangat membanggakan. (The '''third position''' in the competition is very proud.)
+== Practical Exercises ==
+Now that you’re familiar with the numbers, it’s time to practice! Here are some exercises to reinforce what you’ve learned.
+=== Exercise 1: Fill in the Blanks ===
+Fill in the blanks with the correct cardinal numbers.
+. Saya mempunyai ___ (two) buku.
+. Dia telah membeli ___ (three) kucing.
-Here are some more examples:
+. Mereka memiliki ___ (six) kereta.
-* 12 - dua belas (two ten)
-* 15 - lima belas (five ten)
-* 27 - dua puluh tujuh (two ten seven)
-* 39 - tiga puluh sembilan (three ten nine)
-Note that the word 'puluh' means ten and is used to create multiples of ten.
+=== Exercise 2: Translate the Sentences ===
-== Ordinal Numbers ==
+Translate the following sentences into Malay.
-Ordinal numbers are used to indicate the position of something in a series or sequence. In Malay, to form ordinal numbers, we add the suffix '-ke' to the cardinal numbers. For example, 'pertama' means first and is formed by adding the suffix '-ke' to 'satu'.
+. I have five oranges.
-Here are the first 10 ordinal numbers:
+. She is the first student in class.
-* pertama (first)
+. We saw eight birds in the park.
-* kedua (second)
-* ketiga (third)
-* keempat (fourth)
-* kelima (fifth)
-* keenam (sixth)
-* ketujuh (seventh)
-* kelapan (eighth)
-* kesembilan (ninth)
-* kesepuluh (tenth)
-Just like in English, ordinal numbers are used to indicate dates, ranking, and order of events in Malay.
+=== Exercise 3: Match the Numbers ===
-== Counting Objects ==
+Match the Malay numbers with their English translations.
-When counting objects in Malay, the word 'buah' is used after the cardinal number. For example, 'tiga buah apel' means 'three apples'.
+| Malay | English |
-If the object being counted comes after a number ending in 1 (such as 21, 31, 41, etc.), the word 'ekor' is used instead of 'buah'. For example, 'dua puluh satu ekor kucing' means 'twenty-one cats'.
+|-------|---------|

-Congratulations on completing this lesson on Malay numbers and counting! Numbers are essential to know in any language, and Malay is no exception. With practice, you will be able to count and use numbers with ease. Keep practicing and don't forget to have fun while learning!
