Spanish equivalent of "guys"

Question

Good evening my fine forumers!

There has to be a term Spanish-speakers call themselves, like "guys" in English. What is it?

Answer 1

It definitely varies depending on country, but "tipo" is a common way that would be understood everywhere.

Answer 2

Doesn't Tios and Tias really mean Aunt and Uncle respectively? I vote for the common usage of chico = guys and chica = girls

Just me two cents

Hiya, it varies from country to country and even region to region. Being from Spain I can contribute the following..I'm sure there are many more..

Tios (tias for chicks) Mozos ( a bit old school but still used) Chavales ( for describing younger males)

Hope this helps!
