comrade
This is genuinely the real answer in English that grammatically works and is broadly understandable. Unfortunately, about a century of anti-communist propaganda has caused some people to see it as having awkward connotations.
idk, a lot of the people I'd use professional address for aren't my comrades.
But that's basically how the Soviets used their equivalent for the longest time though, right? Would be cool in an AES society.
