Other forms: sirs
Use the word sir as a formal title for a man. People often use sir to respectfully or politely address someone they don't know well.
When you're saying hello to a man who's been knighted by the Queen of England, you should call him sir — it's the official way to address a knight. You can also use this word when you're writing a formal business letter: "Dear Sir or Madam, I am interested in applying for a job at your candy company." And if you're a waiter, you might use it too: "Your hamburger, sir."
