「学校はどうやって通ってるの?」「バス通です」

English Translation

“How do you go to school?” “By bus.”

Isn’t 通ってる pronounced かよってる in this case instead of とおってる?

@mike-lima
かよってるの? is the only correct pronunciation in this context.

  • 通う(かよう)= “to commute” or “to go to school/a hospital/an office etc. on a regular basis”
  • 通る(とおる)= “to pass by/go through” (e.g. a car passed by a bus terminal) or “to penetrate” (e.g. a tunnel is ready for public use = (lit.) a tunnel penetrated a mountain.)
