Herr und Frau

"Herr" and "Frau" are German words used as formal titles for men and women, respectively. Similar to "Mr." and "Mrs." in English, "Herr" is used when addressing or referring to a man, and "Frau" is used for a woman, regardless of marital status. These titles are polite and often precede a person's surname, especially in formal or professional contexts. They are part of German etiquette, emphasizing respect and courtesy, and are commonly used in not only speech but also in written communication.
