Welcome to the forum. The informal (Vosotros) and formal (Ustedes) pronouns both translate as You (plural) in English.

You use the third person plural Uds (Ustedes) or Vos (Vosotros)

por ejemplo 1 : Estoy encantado de dar la bienvenida a ti

= I am delighted to welcome you (familiar form)

Estoy encantado de dar la bienvenidos a todos de Uds

= I am delighted to welcome everyone (polite form) (literally: all of you)

por ejemplo 2 ¿Qué piensan Uds de hecho que la gente en la media parte del mundo no tenga suficiente comida para vivir?

I hope that helps grin
