Oscar is a fucking idiot.


Back to the topic, not making up fake words and claiming others should
"take lessons"...

I just use ïst or sind. Your example is a little bit difficult to do
directly, but I might write it as:
Manna waurkjands/a ïst.

But! If you are actually trying to point out his/her/their location (There
is a working man, as opposed to here is a working man) then þar or jainar
can be used. But in English, the phrase "there is/are" can be used to
simply state the existence of something, without referring to any actual
location.
