Quoting geniuda: what about DOSTUM? |
that's a common word for "my friend", "mate". I guess it's a bit stronger and has more a meaning of close friendship than "arkadaşım" though, you don't call every friend your "mate"..

Quoting joooe86: moruk is also used between friends (man) |
I have never seen the friends who say moruk each other. I think it is only for joke, because it was a very rude word for real sayings. I heard it only in funny tv shows or movies. Never in real life.

In university, you can see that everyone call "hocam" to each other. Sometimes, we say "kardeş","hacı","hacım","dostum". But generally, I think that we don't use these words as much as it is used in English dialogues, such as "friend". I see that we generally prefer to use the names.

I think "Dostum" equals "Pal" in English. Actually we -Turks- use all relationship terms;
for a friend (male); dostum, hacım, kardeşim and even baba
for a friend (female); canım, tatlım
for elder people (male); abi, amca, dayı, dede and even baba
for elder people (female); yenge, teyze, abla and even anne
