Guiderne

Guiderne is the definite plural form of the Danish noun guide, meaning “the guides” in English. The term is used to refer to people who guide others, such as tour guides, hiking guides, or interpreters. It can also denote a group of guides within an organization or service.

In Danish, guide is a loanword, with the indefinite plural form guider. The definite plural form is guiderne, so the phrase guiderne is used when the particular group of guides is being specified. This construction is standard across Danish writing and speech.

Usage examples are common in travel writing, museums, and service contexts. For instance, a sentence such as “Guiderne viste os rundt i udstillingen” translates to “The guides showed us around the exhibition.” The term carries a neutral, descriptive tone and is understood broadly to refer to people who perform guiding duties.

As a potential proper noun, guiderne may appear as a title or name for a specific group of guides or a local organization, depending on context. However, such use is not fixed in language and relies on local naming conventions.
