ASSOCIATE WITH vs ASSOCIATE TO

Hello everybody!

Would anyone please explain this difference to me? I do not know if both forms are correct and. if so, when I should use associate(d) with something or associate(d) to something.
Thanks for any assistance!!

I've never heard 'associate to ', Sunflower-- could you give me an example? 'We are associated with ABC Company' 'We are an associate of ABC Company' 'I associate you with ABC Company' 'We associate for the purpose of disseminating the truth'-- That's all the uses I can think of, offhand.

I am also trying to determine if both forms are correct. Intuitively, it seems like "associate with" is correct and "associate to" is incorrect (I'm using "associate" as a verb in both phrases.

Does anyone have a definite answer?

Thanks!

Intuitively, "associate with" seems correct and "associate to" seems incorrect (I'm using "associate" as a verb in both phrases).

Hello, Kevin-- welcome to English Forums. The BBI Dictionary of English Word Combinations lists only 'associate with', and I would agree.
