Morphology

vibe + with

The meaning 'to feel a natural connection with' is directly composed from 'vibe' (to emotionally resonate) plus the preposition 'with' indicating relation/connection, so a learner who knows both constituents can derive the meaning. Although somewhat informal/slang, the semantic relation follows a standard verb + with pattern and is therefore transparent to B1 learners.

Etymology

Vibe with comes from the idea of people giving off a vibe, a kind of feeling or energy, that another person feels with them, like two people whose rhythms match. So, it means 'to feel a natural connection'.
