10,000 most common Indonesian words
Ranked by how often each word turns up in everyday Indonesian, with its meaning in English.
Indonesian has no tenses, no plurals formed by ending, and no grammatical gender, which makes this one of the most approachable lists here. Repetition is how plurals are made, and prefixes do most of the rest of the work.
