0. Nol / Kosong

To start off, there are two ways to say zero in Indonesian: Nol and Kosong.

For example:

  • Nilai ujian mereka nol. / Their exam marks are zero.
  • Nomor telepon saya kosong-satu-dua-... / My phone number is zero-one-two-...
Kosong is commonly used when reading out a series of numbers, such as in phone numbers. Which reminds me... after learning how to count from 0 to 10, you may also want to check out this post below on the Indonesian phone number format:
