WHAT DOES FUNDAMENTAL UNIT MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Fundamental unit

A set of fundamental units is a set of units for physical quantities from which every other unit can be generated. In the language of measurement, quantities are quantifiable aspects of the world, such as time, distance, velocity, mass, temperature, energy, and weight, and units are used to describe their measure. Many of these quantities are related to each other by various physical laws, and as a result the units of some of the quantities can be expressed as products of powers of other units. These relationships are discussed in dimensional analysis. Those that cannot be so expressed can be regarded as "fundamental" in this sense. There are other relationships between physical quantities which can be expressed by means of fundamental constants, and to some extent it is an arbitrary decision whether to retain the fundamental constant as a quantity with dimensions or simply to define it as unity or a fixed dimensionless number, and reduce the number of fundamental constants by one. For instance, time and distance are related to each other by the speed of light, c, which is a fundamental constant.
