Usage Note

Guiar takes a written accent on the i in most present-tense forms (guío, guías, guía, guían) to prevent the vowels from merging into a diphthong. It can also mean to navigate or steer a vehicle. The reflexive guiarse por means 'to go by' or 'to be guided by' something.

Examples

"El maestro guía a sus estudiantes."
