Cultural Tip
In Italy, the word “kit” is widely used in tech, hobby, and DIY contexts, but native speakers often prefer the phrase “set di base” or “kit di base”. When speaking formally, you might replace “montare” with “assemblare”. Also, Italians tend to place adjectives after the noun, so “kit base” is the natural order.
