basic
The French word 'basique' is used in much the same way as the English word 'basic'. It can describe something that is fundamental or simple, often serving as a starting point for more complex ideas or structures. In the context of language learning, 'basique' might refer to the essential vocabulary and grammar rules that form the foundation of the French language. It can also be used in various other contexts, such as in fashion to describe a simple, unadorned style, or in chemistry to refer to a base as opposed to an acid.
