Erreurs courantes

Learners often try to add digits together like in English 'ten-one'. Use the suffix 'belas' instead.

Wrong: sepuluh satu (10 1)
Correct: sebelas (11)

Don't add 'belas' to tens. 'Puluh' is strictly for tens.

Wrong: tiga belas puluh (3 10)
Correct: tiga puluh (30)

Ten is a special word in Malay, 'sepuluh', not 'satu puluh'.

Wrong: satu puluh (1 10)
Correct: sepuluh (10)
