What about"erkek". Is that only used in the third person?
I have wondered whether "erkek" = "dude", but most people on this forum can tell, my experience with actual conversation is small.
You can refer to a group of young men (at a distance) as
"onlar erkeklar var" (or onlar erkek var?)

erkek doesnt mean dude,it means male(man,boy,guy...) and its not only used in the third person.it depends what you mean...
i think your sentence must be 'orada erkekler var' and yes you can say that..

Generally you would hear this from someone providing you with a service or if you are providing someone a service.
Also in being polite and respectful when you meet someone, especially if you believe them to be older than you. You would call them by their fist name accompanied by either Bey or Hanım.
