English help please

Hi,

Can you verify this meaning of the word for me please?

My dictionary told me that suggest can be same meaning as associate, is that true?


“I always associate yellow with banana together.”

“I always suggest yellow and banana together.”

If they are which one is proper and better English then?


Cheers
