"Sebutir, dua butir, tiga butir apel."

Translation: One, two, three apples.

[__CF__]

dua buah apel lebih biasa, atau dua apel, dua butir apel sedikit aneh nggak?

[Hndi427182]

You're right,we usually use " sebuah " instead of "sebutir" ,
we usually use " sebutir " for eggs

What does butir mean on its own?

From https://kbbi.web.id/butir

butir/bu·tir/ n 1 barang yang kecil-kecil seperti beras, intan;

"Small objects like rice grains, diamonds"

Diamonds seems like a weird example. Google translate gives a list of translations like "grain, clove, fleck, granule, morsel"

Three! Three apples! Ah! Ah! Ah!
