nggak - no
guwe - I/me/mine
bikinin? bikin means to make
kayak - if pronounced without the k it would mean rich

Counting money in Betawi (* denotes currency values no longer in use, whereas ^ denotes currency values that still exist but are rarely used)
All these words originated from Hokkien words, so if you know some Chinese, you might be familiar with them.
gotun = IDR 5*
jigo = IDR 25*
gocap = IDR 50*
cepe = IDR 100^
pego = IDR 150*
nope = IDR 200^
gope = IDR 500
seceng = IDR 1,000
noceng = IDR 2,000
goceng = IDR 5,000
ceban = IDR 10,000
noban = IDR 20,000
goban = IDR 50,000
