Modern Indonesian Telephone - Error Report Compiled 5-22-2008 07:47 GMT
# WORD CORRECTION COMMENT
-------------------------------------------
1 SATU Correct as is.
2 DUA Correct as is.
3 TIGA Correct as is.
4 EMPAT Correct as is.
5 LIMA Correct as is.
6 ENAM Correct as is.
7 TUJUH Correct as is.
8 DELEPAN DELAPAN Likely a simple typographical error.
9 SEBALAS SEMBILAN In my understanding, "sebalas" is not a legitimate Indonesian word, but "sebelas" (which differs from the former by a single letter) means 11.
0 SUPULUH NOL "Nol" is the formal Indonesian word for "zero", but at least in the case of telephone numbers "kosong" (literal meaning: empty) may also be used. This phenomenon can be likened to the somewhat common use of "oh" instead of "zero" in English. In my understanding, "supuluh" is not a legitimate Indonesian word, but "sepuluh" (which differs from the former by a single letter) means 10.
My apologies if my analysis incorrectly deems correct numeral/word pairs as being erroneous, and also if it fails to cite other errors that I failed to notice.
