屋おく
屋根 is the everyday modern word for 'roof', while 屋 (おく) is an archaic literary term for the same idea.
ルーフ
屋根 is the everyday native Japanese word for a roof, while ルーフ is a loanword favored in automotive, architectural, or stylish contexts (e.g. car roofs, roof gardens).

天てん井じょうN2
屋根 is the roof seen from outside a building, while 天井 is the ceiling seen from inside, so learners often mix up which side they mean.
屋おく上じょうN4
屋根 refers to the sloped or covering structure of a roof, while 屋上 refers to a flat rooftop area people can walk on, so the two overlap in meaning but describe different parts.
幌ほろ
屋根 is a permanent roof structure, whereas 幌 is a removable or foldable cloth covering, so learners should not use them interchangeably for vehicle tops.
