SI is an international standard system of units. Most people would call it the metric system. SI has standards for the kilogram and meter that can be referenced, to make and calibrate measuring devices.

System International

Specially includes four more units of electric current, temperature, light luminosity, amount of substance

Includes two supplementary. One for plane angle and the other for solid angle.

So consistent.

Somehow an evolved system

What is the relationship between SI and CGS units of force?

SI is the Systeme Internalionale of measurement in which the Metre, kilogram and Second are some primary units. An older system based on metric units used centimetre, gram, and second as the primary units. Obviously these may be converted into SI units, but the CGS system is no longer used. [Some of the definitions of the fundamental units differ between these systems.]

What can be measured in metric?

Everything. There is seven base units: metre, kilogram, second, ampere, kelvin, candela and mole. From these seven base units, several other units are derived. In addition to the SI units, there is also a set of non-SI units accepted for use with SI which includes some commonly used units such as the litre.

What are the fundamental and derived units?

In a system of units such as the SI, BASE UNITS are defined; other units are derived from those.For example, in the SI, the meter, the kilogram, and the second are base units; the units for area (meters squared), for speed and velocity (meters/second), etc. are derived from the base units. Which units are base units, and which units are derived units, really depends on how the unit is defined. For example, in the SI, pressure is a derived unit; but you can just as well invent a system in which pressure is a base unit, and some other units, that are base units in the SI, are derived in this new system.
