Guien

Guien is not a word in standard Spanish. It is typically a misspelling or typographical error for "alguien" (someone) or for "quien"/"quién" (who). The term does not appear in major Spanish dictionaries such as the Real Academia Española. In some contexts, "guien" may be encountered as a proper noun, such as a surname or place name in languages other than Spanish, or as a creative spelling in informal writing.

Correct usage in Spanish consists of "alguien" when referring to an unidentified person: "Alguien dejó un mensaje." For interrogatives and relative clauses, use "quién" or "quien": "¿Quién llamó?" or "la persona a quien llamaste." The accent in "quién" marks interrogative/exclamative usage, while "quien" without accent functions as a relative pronoun in clauses after a preposition or as a subject in some contexts.

Because "guien" is not recognized as a standard lexical item, it is usually a typographical error. When you see it in text, consider whether the intended word is "alguien" or "quien," and corregir accordingly in formal writing. In most formal contexts, this form should be avoided.

In contemporary digital contexts, "guien" may appear as a user handle or pseudonym; this is not a separate lexical meaning but a stylistic choice arising from the common confusion with the standard pronouns.
