"Third time."

Translation: Ketiga kali.

[AbdullahAAK]

I dont get it. First time is sekali. Why is third time ketiga kali and not tiga kali?

[Rick392366]

sekali = satu kali = one time

pertama = first
kedua = second
ketiga = third
etc...

pertama kali = first time
kedua kali = second time
ketiga kali = third time
etc...

sekali = one time
dua kali = two times
tiga kali - three times
etc...

Carly656380, it should be accepted. Please report it.

Kali ketiga is the standard way to say the third time.

'kalian tiga' isn't correct?
