triliun

Triliun is a unit of quantity in Indonesian that represents 1,000,000,000,000, or seribu miliar (one million million). It is a standard term used in formal and everyday language to express large numbers.

In the common Indonesian numbering sequence, the major groups are ribu (10^3), juta (10^6), miliar (10^9), triliun (10^12), and kuadriliun (10^15). Thus, triliun sits between miliar and kuadriliun as a multiple of the base units for large-scale figures.

The term triliun is an import from foreign languages and follows a global pattern of naming large numbers with the -lian suffix in Indonesian. It is widely used across sectors such as government budgeting, economics, statistics, science, and media, as well as in everyday financial discussions.

In practice, triliun typically denotes the same magnitude as the English word trillion in the short-scale system. This makes it straightforward for readers and speakers who encounter international figures expressed in trillions to interpret the Indonesian equivalent correctly. The usage is standardized in official documents, educational materials, and common discourse.

Examples of usage include budgetary figures, corporate reports, and scientific data where numbers reach into the trillions of rupiah or other currencies. As with other large-number terms, exact phrasing may vary (for example, satu triliun or sejumlah triliun) depending on context.
