For numbers between 11-19, the ending belas is added, similar to '-teen' in English

12	dua belas
13	tiga belas
14	empat belas
15	lima belas
16	enam belas
17	tujuh belas
18	delapan belas
19	sembilan belas

Note that se in sebelas and sepuluh means 'one.'

Add se to the ending puluh (tens)
for sepuluh (10)

Add se to the ending ratus (hundreds)
for seratus (100)

Add se to the ending ribu (thousands)
for seribu (1,000)

Add se to the ending juta (millions)
for sejuta (1,000,000)

Substitue se by single digits to form '20', '300', '4,000', '5,000,000', etc.
