numbers ( 1 )

We use numbers in our conversations many times. We say it for telling times, ages, data, and other things in order to make our sentences completed with the important iformation. OK, let's start with the easiest first.
1 : satu
2: dua
3: tiga
4: empat
5: lima
6: enam
7: tujuh
8: delapan
9: sembilan
10: sepuluh

The next are 11 (sebelas), 12(dua belas), 13(tiga belas) etc until we come to 20, it's called dua puluh'. Then we put 21 (dua puluh satu), 22 (dua puluh dua) ....
After that we have 30 (tiga puluh), 40 (empat puluh)...finally we come to :
- 100 : seratus
-1000 : seribu
-1000000 : sejuta or satu juta
-1 000 000 000 : semilyar or satu milyar
If we want to ask about price, we ask'berapa harganya?'
usually the answer is 'harganya sepuluh ribu.
So how can you say 1.520.436 in Bahasa?
