The most common form of dashi is a simple broth or fish stock made by heating water containing kombu (edible kelp) and kezurikatsuo (shavings of katsuobushi - preserved, fermented skipjack tuna) to near-boiling, then straining the resultant liquid. The element of umami, considered one of the five basic tastes in Japan, is introduced into dashi from the use of katsuobushi and kombu. Katsuobushi is especially high in sodium inosinate and kombu is especially high in glutamic acids.

You also have broth and stock. Broth is when you take the bones of an animal and boil them with its meat and veggies for about an hour and a half to yield a flavored water. Stock, is when you do the same, but you use only the bones and the cooking time is much longer. You are essentially taking all of the nutrients from the bones. Stews are much thicker than soups.
People who are foodies will recognize the word "dashi." Usually for foods and specialty items, we don't invent our own words, we just use the original term from the country the food came from-- but we may pronounce it with an American accent.
For non-foodies or people who aren't adventurous with their food, you can describe it as a sort of "Japanese miso stock" to be used a soup base.
Dashi would be explained as a type of "stock" in English. Stock is something used as a basis for soup. Traditionally in England this is made from animal bones and vegetables. There are powders and pastes that are used as a convenience-food version of traditional stock, which often come in cube shape and so are called "stock-cubes".
