(1) Cardinal numbers may precede or follow
the noun (ampal orang -bakul lima).
(2) The addition of blas to the cardinal
numbers from one to nine forms those
from eleven to nineteen.
(3) Multiples of ten are formed by the
addition of puloh (s pulon. dua puloh)
(4) the units satu to smbilan are placed
after the tens to form numbers above
twenty.
(5) hundreds are "ratus", thousands
"ribu", tens of thousands "laksa",
hundreds of thousands "kti", and millions
"juta".
(6) No conjunctions are required between
numerals
"S-JUTA DUA-KTI TIGA-LAKSA AMPAT-Ribu
LIMA-RATUS ANAM-PULOH-TUJOH =
1,234,567
(7) The ordinal numbers are formed from
the cardinals by means of the word
"yang" and prefixing "K" to the cardinals.
"yang k-dua = the second
(8) "yang pertama" is always used for
"first". 13
(9) When ordinal numbers are used as
adjectives, they follow the noun
(10) Without "yang" ie "k-dua", "k-tiga"
the meaning is "both" "all three".
half (1/2) stngah
quarter (1/4) suku
(11) All other fractions are formed by
adding the prefire "per" to the
cardinal numbers. i.e.S-pellgu S- pertiga = 1/3
tiga perampat = 3/4 ampat perpuloh

Quantities, dimensions, weights
In expressing quantities, dimensions,
or weights the words - Bunyak

pukol ampat strgah = half past four.
pukol dua tiga-Duku = 3.45
The minutes from half the hour to half
hour follow the same rule as quarter
and half hours thus "pukol lima
dua puloh minit = twenty minutes
past five
The minutes from the half hour to the
hour are expressed by substracting
them from the following hour by
using the word "Kurang = less. She
minutes substracted come first and
then the hour thus "kurang spuloh
minit pukol anam = ten minutes to
six". The third quarter may be
expressed as "kuhang ouku pukol
tryoh = a quarter to seven".
Future intervals of time are expressed
by the use of "lagi = more, and Epas =
after thus "lagi spulap minit
pukol dlapan = in ten minutes more
it will be eight oclock.
"Lpas tiga hari tahun bharu =
in three days more it will be the New
Year".

"sudah". "Sudah ampat hari 15
