Alapmértékegységekrl translates to "about base units" in Hungarian. In metrology, base units are a set of fundamental, dimensionally independent units from which all other units of measurement can be derived. These units are chosen to represent fundamental physical quantities that are considered essential for describing the physical world.

The most widely recognized system of base units is the International System of Units, or SI. The SI comprises seven base units: the meter (m) for length, the kilogram (kg) for mass, the second (s) for time, the ampere (A) for electric current, the kelvin (K) for thermodynamic temperature, the mole (mol) for amount of substance, and the candela (cd) for luminous intensity.

Historically, the definitions of these base units have evolved. Initially, they were often based on physical objects or natural phenomena that were not always stable or precisely reproducible. However, over time, definitions have been refined to rely on fundamental physical constants, ensuring greater accuracy and universality. For instance, the meter is now defined in terms of the speed of light, and the second is defined by the frequency of a specific atomic transition.

The concept of base units is crucial for scientific research, engineering, and international trade, as it provides a common and consistent language for measurement. Without a standardized set of base units, comparing experimental results or ensuring the interoperability of different technologies would be extremely difficult. While other unit systems exist, the SI and its base units are the global standard.
