    Explanation

    The Japanese verbal noun '通信 (つうしん)' primarily means 'communication'. It refers to the exchange of information between individuals, groups, or devices. This term is often used in contexts involving telecommunications, internet communication, or any form of data transmission. For example: The internet enables global communication「インターネットは世界の通信を可能にする」(インターネットはせかいのつうしんをかのうにする). We lost communication with the satellite「衛星との通信が途絶えた」(えいせいとのつうしんがとだえた). It's important to note that '通信' can also imply a continuous or ongoing exchange of information, not just a single instance.
