In Python, you can define a lambda function using the following syntax:

lambda arguments: expression
 

where arguments are the inputs to the function and expression is the operation that the function will perform on those inputs.

Here is an example of a lambda function that takes two arguments and returns their sum:

my_lambda = lambda x, y: x + y
 

In this example, we define a lambda function called my_lambda that takes two arguments, x and y, and returns their sum using the + operator.

You can call this lambda function by passing in two values for x and y, like this:

result = my_lambda(2, 3)
 

In this case, result will be 5, because my_lambda adds its two input arguments together.

You can also use lambda functions as anonymous functions inline with other code constructs such as filter(), map(), and reduce(), which allows for more concise code.
