personers

Personers is a plural noun used in several Scandinavian languages to denote multiple individuals; in English it is not a standard form and is typically considered a loanword, a misspelling, or a term borrowed in specific contexts such as translations or brand names. The word does not signify a distinct concept beyond the ordinary meaning of “persons.”

In Swedish, Danish, and Norwegian, the singular is person and the plural is personer. For example, två personer means two people, and flera personer means several people. The pronunciation and spelling align with the phonology and orthography of these languages, and the plural form Personen appears consistently in standard usage as personer.

In English, the plural of person is usually people, with persons appearing in formal or legal contexts (as in “the persons responsible”) and rarely in everyday language. If English text contains personers, it is most often a direct translation from another language, a typographical error, or a fictional or branded term rather than standard English grammar.

Beyond linguistics, some writers or creators might use personers as a coined term or proper noun within a fictional universe, a brand, or a specific project. In such cases, its meaning would be defined by the work rather than by conventional grammar.
