ketujuh

Ketujuh is a term originating from the Indonesian language, where it functions as the ordinal numeral meaning “seventh.” It is used in a variety of contexts, ranging from counting sequences to naming places, institutions, and cultural concepts. In Indonesian grammar, ketujuh follows the root “tujuh,” the base word for the number seven, and is the form employed when the numeral is used independently rather than as part of a compound expression.

In geographic usage, the name Ketujuh designates several small villages and neighborhoods across the archipelago, most notably a settlement in West Java’s Subang Regency. The village’s name reflects historical local traditions that numbered the community’s constituent hamlets, with the seventh section being identified as Ketujuh. Census data from 2020 recorded a population of approximately 1,200 residents, primarily engaged in agriculture and small‑scale trade. The area is characterized by tropical climate, fertile volcanic soils, and a cultural landscape that includes traditional Sundanese architecture and annual community festivals.

Educational institutions occasionally adopt the term in titles such as “Sekolah Dasar Ketujuh,” indicating the seventh primary school established within a district. Similarly, religious and civic organizations may use ketujuh to denote the seventh chapter, assembly, or session in a series. The versatility of the term underscores its integral role in Indonesian numeration, place‑naming, and organizational nomenclature.
