Hi
The word "hörru" is used to call on someone’s attention similar to the English "yo", "listen (up)" or "listen now" (the third beeing close to a direct translation). The word "sörru" is often used after a statement to emphasize it and could be very loosely translated into "as you can see". The third word "personalen" directly translates into "the personnel" but is probably more commonly used as "the employees".
