"And" is not a separate word in Hebrew like it is in English or most languages. It is a prefix with the letter vav (ו) plus a vowel that varies depending on the next letter in the word.

the most common form is veh (וְ) but it may also be va (וָ) vi (וִ) or oo (וּ).

For example:

The word "No" in Hebrew means "Lo" (לא), the word "Yes" means "Ken" (כן).

To say "Yes and no" in Hebrew, we would say "Ken velo" (כן ולא).

To say "No and Yes" in Hebrew, we would say "Lo vechen" (לא וכן) in formal speech.

In other words, "and" attaches to the following word using various different vowels, depending on the next letter of the word.

Here are some more examples:

And me = va'ani (ואני).

And the teacher =vehamorah (והמורה).

And Jerusalem = virushalayim (וירושלים).

And Brazil = oovrazeel* or oobrazeel (וברזיל).

*Theoretically the proper version, but it's doubtful any Israeli would say it this way. In fact, most Israelis say "veh" most of the time, ignoring classical rules.
