    Ti lidé jsou velcí! - This is specifically for a group of men, correct?

      Nope. Grammar gender does not equate real-world' gender. Lidé is masculine animate, that's why you use velcí.

        Why can't you say "Ti lide jsou velke"? What type of form is "velci"?

          Velcí is required for masculine animate.

              Lidé is plural of člověk. Masculine.

              Would "Ty osoby jsou velke" be correct as well?
