official connection to a group
a formal or official link between a person or group and an organization, usually as a member or part of it
Vzorec užití:
[someone]'s affiliation with [organization/group]
Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes confuse "affiliation" with "feeling" or "friendship". "Affiliation" is about a formal or official connection to a group or institution, not about personal emotions. Also, do not say *"I have an affiliation to"* in most cases; the common pattern is "affiliation with" a group or institution.
Synonyma
membership (focuses more on belonging inside a group; does not always emphasize the formal link between separate entities)
|
association (more general; can be loose or informal, while affiliation usually suggests a formal or recorded connection)
Antonyma

|

the political party, religion, or group that someone says they belong to or support
Vzorec užití:
[someone]'s affiliation to/with [party/religion/group]
Častá chyba:

Synonyma
alignment (emphasizes agreement or shared views rather than official ties or membership)
|
allegiance (stronger emotional or moral loyalty; can sound more formal or intense than "affiliation")

Vzorec užití:

partnership (stresses cooperation and shared projects; may be less about formal structure than "affiliation" in corporate or legal documents)
|
association (broad term for any kind of link; may be looser and less formal than a defined affiliation)
