吉

口
+
士
:
Mnemonic symbol: "Giga" apparently stems from a Greek word for "giant", so I'll represent 吉 by a giant.
The giant (吉) just entered the space station's kitchen (Ø2) and is very hungry. In each hand he holds Joan of Arc (ji) and the bachelor (士) captive and robs them for their mandarins (口) which he longs for.

"speech" or "words" radical in Chinese characters (Kangxi radical 149) / see also 言字旁[yan2 zi4 pang2]
Mnemonic symbol: this character looks like a big "i" (like in information), and I'll represent it by an advertising column. Maud Younger (y) gives a speech (讠) standing on top of an advertising column (讠) in the anthill's kitchen (an2).
