Sorry! The top 2 jukugo mean the same exact thing and are even 99% same-SOUNDING but you need both of them.

KYUU |

## Mnemonic

| If you provide me with the string, I'll make a CUTE suit that suits you.

## Jukugo

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.
供給(きょうきゅう) | supply ★★☆☆☆ 供 (follower) + 給 (provide) = 供給 (supply) to supply (supply and demand / supply the troops with guns / supply your kid with a school lunches / the feed chute supplies grain to the conveyor belt at the cereal factory)
給与(きゅうよ) | salary, wages ★☆☆☆☆ 給 (provide) + 与 (bestow) = 給与 (salary, wages )

## Synonyms
