guidarono

Guidarono is the third-person plural passato remoto form of the Italian verb guidare, which means to guide or to lead. It is a regular form that appears in written Italian to recount completed actions in the past.

In modern Italian, the passato remoto is mainly found in formal, literary, or historical writing. In everyday speech, especially in most regions, speakers typically use the passato prossimo instead, which sounds more natural in contemporary conversation.

Guidare is a regular -are verb, and guidarono is formed from the stem guid- plus the passato remoto ending -arono. Its other forms are io guidai, tu guidasti, lui guidò, noi guidammo, voi guidaste, essi guidarono.

Examples of usage include: Gli esploratori guidarono il gruppo attraverso la foresta. Le delegazioni guidarono le trattative verso un accordo. These sentences illustrate how guidarono expresses that the action of guiding was carried out by multiple subjects in the past, in a narrative or formal context.

Etymology and related forms: guidare shares its root with guide in English and other Romance languages, reflecting the same semantic field of directing or leading. The passato remoto forms, including guidarono, are part of a broader system used in Italian literature to situate events in past time.
