What does ambaŭ mean, and how is it used?
Ambaŭ means both.
In this sentence, Ambaŭ artistoj means both artists.
A few useful points:
- ambaŭ already implies two
- it often appears before a plural noun: ambaŭ artistoj
- it can also stand alone: Ambaŭ partoprenos = Both will participate
Unlike English, you do not need a separate word like the unless the context requires it.

The ending -j marks the plural in Esperanto.
So:
- artisto = artist
- artistoj = artists
Because ambaŭ refers to two people, the noun must be plural: ambaŭ artistoj.
