    基地: base. The Japanese noun '基地 (きち)' refers to a 'base', typically a military or operational base. It is used to describe a central location or facility from which activities are conducted, such as military operations, scientific research, or other organized efforts. For example: The military base is located in the mountains「その軍事基地は山の中にあります」(そのぐんじきちはやまのなかにあります). The research base in Antarctica is very cold「南極の研究基地はとても寒いです」(なんきょくのけんきゅうきちはとてもさむいです). This term is often used in contexts involving strategic locations or facilities that serve as a hub for specific activities.
