Herra [herrɑ] means "Lor" in Finnish, and is now generally used in Finnish as an honorific for all men, the equivalent to the English titles "Mister" and "Sir" and also to "gentleman". In the Finnish Defence Forces, a superior is addressed with herra followed by the rank of the superior. The address starts the conversation, but is not repeated. For example, herra luutnantti is the same address as "Lieutenant Sir!"
