In reply to:and now i can count-- dua, tiga, empat, lima, eman, tujuh-- well amost count-- one pretty important number missing..
You had to ask, didn't you?
Satu = one, for example satu meja (one table). But there is also a prefix for one (like English has bi- for two), se-. The prefix is used with classifiers, so sebuah meja, seorang guru, etc.
The prefix is also used in higher numbers:
sepuluh ten, duapuluh twenty
sebelas eleven, empatbelas fourteen
seratus one hundred, delapan ratus eight hundred
seribu one thousand, sembilan ribu nine thousand
Now class, seratus enambelas ribu lima ratus sembilanpuluh satu = ?
