English Explanation

通勤 (つうきん) is an On'yomi-On'yomi compound. 通 (つう) is the On'yomi for 'pass through/commute', and 勤 (きん) for 'diligence/work'. Misreadings like づうきん (incorrect rendaku) or つきん (missing long vowel) or つうぎん (incorrect rendaku) are incorrect. It refers to the act of traveling regularly between one's home and place of work or study.

日本語解説

通勤(つうきん)は音読み同士の組み合わせです。通(つう)と勤(きん)がそれぞれ「つう」「きん」と読まれます。づうきんやつきん(長音不足)、つうぎんといった読みは間違いです。自宅と職場や学校の間を定期的に行き来することを指します。
