無料(むりょう) | free ★★★★☆ 無 (without) + 料 (ingredients / fees) = 無料 (free) free (not like Martin Luther King, I mean free like a free magazine full of articles on how to become a stripper)
料理(りょうり) つくる | cuisine/cooking ★★★★☆ 料 (ingredients / fees) + 理 (reason) = 料理 (cuisine/cooking) ２ meanings. 1： cooking , as in, "My hobby is cooking. I'm cooking right now, I can't talk." 2： cuisine, as in, "My favorite cuisine is Mexican. My favorite cuisine is Indonesian." (BOOBOO: You don't say, though, "I'm going to buy some ryouri." Or "I'm eating ryouri right now." )
料金(りょうきん) | a fee, also, bills. ★★★☆☆ 料 (ingredients / fees) + 金 (gold) = 料金 (a fee, also, bills.)
給料(きゅうりょう) | wages ★★★☆☆ 給 (provide) + 料 (ingredients / fees) = 給料 (wages) wages - a bit more useful than the related word 給与. For instance, 'payday' is 給料日 (きゅうりょうび)、 not 給与日.
香辛料(こうしんりょう) | spices ★☆☆☆☆ 香 (good smell) + 辛 (spicy / painful) + 料 (ingredients / fees) = 香辛料 (spices) spices - not just hot ones. This is the only word you'll ever need the onyomi for. Sorry.
