1=satu
2=dua
3=tiga
4=empat
5=lima
6=enam
7=tujuh
8=lapan
9=sembilan
10=sepuluh

for 20, it is dua puluh. puluh are like decades, means it comes in tens. so you put 2 + 10= dua puluh ^^
30= tiga puluh
40= empat puluh and so on ^^

then we have 100=seratus. ratus means it comes in hundreds. so 200 is 2 + 100= dua ratus. 300=tiga ratus and so on.

lol, you got those other terms right ^^ garam=salt lol

ramuan=ingredients
kopi segera=instant coffee
susu tenusu penuh krim= full cream milk

hehe.. there's...

goodbye= selamat tinggal
me= saya
you= kamu
kamu semua= you all
eat=makan
read=baca
computer= well, it's the same except it's spelled "komputer"
play= bermain

^^

so yeah, according to the diagram, if we say 78, do we say "tujuh sepu lapan"?
and do you also mean kiri=left and kanan=right?

and yeah, about that note you posted above, the philippines is also composed of 3 major races, indonesian, malaysian, and negroids. there's this legend of 10 datus from borneo that was believed to be one of the origins of filipinos.

ahh.. nopes, 78 is tujuh puluh lapan.
se- from sepuluh is like 1 --> se + puluh = 1 + 10 = 10

opps, sorry if it's confusing o.o

but you got kanan and kiri right ^^

you know your malay quite well ^^

aarghh sorry lol that's a mistake on my part. should've said that it is puluh, not sepu since sepuluh is ten. so we can also say now that 63 is "enam puluh tiga". right?

ahh.. ^^

good morning = selamat pagi
good afternoon = selamat tengah hari
good evening = selamat petang
goodnight = selamat malam
excuse me = tumpang lalu
please forgive me = tolong maafkan saya

what time is it now? = pukul berapa sekarang? ( literally means time what now =p)
the time now is (add numbers 1 to 12) = sekarang pukul (add numbers 1 to 12)
morning or a.m. = pagi
around noon = tengah hari
evening = petang
night = malam

for time, you say "pukul satu pagi" = 1am, pukul empat petang = 4pm, pukul sembilan malam = 9pm

e.g. Kakashi-kun, pukul berapa sekarang?
You say: Sekarang pukul 8 malam

hehe... should i go on with minutes? ^^

i'm a little confused but if someone asks "pukul berapa sekarang?" and then it's let's say 7 pm i'll answer "sekarang pukul tujuh malam". right?

it's a little weird in our case because if someone asks "anong oras na (what time is it)" we would answer in spanish numbers, like when we say 3 o'clock we say "alas-tres", or 3:30 we say "alas-tres y media".

ahh.. yeap, actually, you can also say "tujuh malam" = 7pm, as a short form.

in a way, "alas" literally means time or o'clock, right?

yes. and we can also add "ng"+what part of the day.
morning=umaga
midday=tanghali
afternoon=hapon
evening/night=gabi.

how about "my name is..." "i am...yrs. old"

ahh.. that is:

nama saya (name). saya berumur (age in number) tahun.
my name is (name). i am (age in number) years old.

when you say you age, you have to add a "tahun" after that ^^
for 1-9 years old, you just say the numbers + tahun
for 10 years old, you say se (one) + puluh + tahun
for 11-19 years old, you use number + belas + tahun (belas literally means -teens, so nineteen is sembilan belas tahun)

e.g. nama saya lynn/hinata. saya berumur sembilan belas tahun.
bagaimana dengan kamu,kakashi-kun? = what about you, kakashi-kun? ^^
