Hungarian word for ma'am?

I was listening to a recording of a Hungarian speaker whose sentences were then translated into English.

When the speaker said a Hungarian word that sounded like "erjam", the translator said it meant "ma'am" (lady).

I've looked all over, and I can't find any Hungarian word for "ma'am" that sounds like "erjam." This is driving me crazy!

I'm sure I spelled it wrong, but can anyone please tell me what was the Hungarian word that sounded like "erjam"?

Thanks!

    I think you mean "hölgyem", it sounds similar to erjam (I mean to the way you pronounce erjam in english) you can listen to it in google translate

    "hölgy" means in hungarian "lady"

    "hölgyem" means "my lady", we say it this way when we adress a woman very politely

    sorry for the errors, I'm hungarian
