In this lesson, we will explore the topic of numbers and counting in Malay. Numbers are an essential part of any language, and learning how to count in Malay will help you in various situations, such as shopping, telling time, and understanding dates. We will cover both cardinal and ordinal numbers, providing you with a comprehensive understanding of how to use numbers in Malay.

By the end of this lesson, you will be able to confidently count and use numbers in everyday conversations. Let's get started!

== Cardinal Numbers ==
|-


Cardinal numbers are used to indicate quantity, whether it's counting objects, people, or expressing a specific quantity. In Malay, cardinal numbers are relatively easy to learn as they follow a straightforward pattern. Let's take a look at the numbers from 1 to 10 in Malay:
| sepuluh  || /səpuˈluh/ || ten


{| class="wikitable"
! Malay (individual language) !! Pronunciation !! English Translation
|-
|-
| satu || sah-too || one
 
| sebelas  || /səˈbɛlas/ || eleven
 
|-
|-
| dua || doo-wah || two
 
| dua belas  || /dua ˈbɛlas/ || twelve
 
|-
|-
| tiga || tee-gah || three
 
| tiga belas  || /tiɡa ˈbɛlas/ || thirteen
 
|-
|-
| empat || em-paht || four
 
| empat belas  || /əmˈpat ˈbɛlas/ || fourteen
 
|-
|-
| lima || lee-ma || five
 
| lima belas  || /lima ˈbɛlas/ || fifteen
 
|-
|-
| enam || eh-nam || six
 
| enam belas  || /ənam ˈbɛlas/ || sixteen
 
|-
|-
| tujuh || too-joo || seven
 
| tujuh belas  || /tuʤuh ˈbɛlas/ || seventeen
 
|-
|-
| lapan || lah-pan || eight
 
| lapan belas  || /lapan ˈbɛlas/ || eighteen
 
|-
|-
| sembilan || sem-bee-lan || nine
 
| sembilan belas  || /səmbilan ˈbɛlas/ || nineteen
 
|-
|-
| sepuluh || suh-poo-loh || ten
 
| dua puluh  || /dua ˈpu.luh/ || twenty
 
|}
|}


To count beyond ten, you can simply combine the words for the numbers. For example, to say eleven, you would say "sebelas," which is a combination of "satu" (one) and "sepuluh" (ten). Let's look at some examples:
'''Key Points:'''
 
* '''Satu''' is one of the most important numbers, as it is often used in greetings or simple phrases.


* dua belas (12) - literally "two ten"
* Counting continues from twenty onwards by combining numbers (e.g., '''dua puluh satu''' means twenty-one).
* tiga belas (13) - literally "three ten"
* empat belas (14) - literally "four ten"
* dua puluh (20) - literally "two ten"
* tiga puluh (30) - literally "three ten"
* empat puluh (40) - literally "four ten"


As you can see, the pattern is straightforward. To form numbers from 21 to 99, you combine the words for the tens and units. Here are some examples:
Let’s see how we can use these cardinal numbers in sentences:


* dua puluh satu (21) - literally "two ten one"
1. Saya ada '''dua''' kucing. (I have '''two''' cats.)
* tiga puluh dua (32) - literally "three ten two"
* empat puluh tiga (43) - literally "four ten three"
* lima puluh empat (54) - literally "five ten four"


To express larger numbers, you continue the pattern. For example, 100 is "seratus," which is a combination of "ser" (one) and "ratus" (hundred).
2. Dia membeli '''lima''' buah epal. (She bought '''five''' apples.)


== Ordinal Numbers ==
=== Ordinal Numbers ===


Ordinal numbers are used to indicate the order or position of something in a sequence. In Malay, ordinal numbers are formed by adding the suffix "-ke" to the cardinal number. Let's take a look at the ordinal numbers from 1st to 10th in Malay:
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 || per-ta-ma || first
 
| pertama || /pərˈtama/ || first
 
|-
|-
| kedua || ke-doo-wah || second
 
| kedua || /kəˈdua/ || second
 
|-
|-
| ketiga || ke-tee-gah || third
 
| ketiga || /kəˈtiɡa/ || third
 
|-
|-
| keempat || ke-em-paht || fourth
 
| keempat || /kəmˈpat/ || fourth
 
|-
|-
| kelima || ke-lee-ma || fifth
 
| kelima || /kəˈlima/ || fifth
 
|-
|-
| keenam || ke-eh-nam || sixth
 
| keenam || /kəˈənam/ || sixth
 
|-
|-
| ketujuh || ke-too-joo || seventh
 
| ketujuh || /kəˈtuʤuh/ || seventh
 
|-
|-
| kelapan || ke-lah-pan || eighth
 
| kelapan || /kəˈlapan/ || eighth
 
|-
|-
| kesembilan || ke-sem-bee-lan || ninth
 
| kesembilan || /kəsəmbilan/ || ninth
 
|-
|-
| kesepuluh || ke-suh-poo-loh || tenth
 
| kesepuluh || /kəsəpuˈluh/ || tenth
 
|}
|}


To form ordinal numbers beyond the tenth, you combine the ordinal number with the cardinal number. For example, to say "eleventh," you would say "sebelas" (eleven) followed by "ke," and then "pertama" (first). Let's look at some examples:
'''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 with cardinal numbers, you can continue this pattern to express larger ordinal numbers. For example, to say 100th, you would say "seratus" (one hundred) followed by "ke," and then "seratus" (hundredth).
2. Dia membeli dua belas epal. (She bought twelve apples.)


== Cultural Insights ==
3. Dia berada di kedudukan keenam. (He is in sixth position.)


Numbers play a significant role in Malay culture, particularly in traditional ceremonies and rituals. In Malay weddings, for example, certain numbers are considered auspicious and may be preferred for the wedding date. The number 7, for instance, is believed to bring good luck and is often chosen for weddings. Additionally, numbers like 9 and 10 are also considered lucky and are associated with success and completion.
=== Answers to Exercise 6 ===


In Malaysia, the number 4 (empat) is often associated with bad luck because its pronunciation is similar to the word for "death" (mati) in Malay. As a result, it is common for buildings and hotels to skip the fourth floor or any other floor with the number 4. Similarly, the number 13 (tiga belas) is also considered unlucky, as it is in many cultures around the world.
satu, dua, tiga, empat, lima, enam, tujuh, lapan, sembilan, sepuluh

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.

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.)
