معك كل الحق يا مستر عصام



Sire is a form of address for reigning Kings in the United Kingdom and in Belgium. It was formerly also used in England, France, Italy, Germany and Spain. Historically Sire had a wider usage. During the middle ages Sire was generally used to address a superior, a person of importance or in a position of authority or the nobility in general. It is probable that sire is a corruption of the French monsieur, and should be pronounced as the English sir; many words in English were originally spelt with a final e which has, over time, been discarded.

the word sir can be used for anyone, but sire is to be used for royalty only

So, "sire" is more appropriate?
