How does it change in a sentence?

The form 'و' (va) is used in formal writing and speech, but in spoken Persian, it is often shortened or replaced by other conjunctions.

The Persian word و is a linguistic double. It is both a native word inherited from Middle Persian and a loanword borrowed from Arabic.
In spoken Persian, the word و often disappears entirely. Speakers frequently connect lists of items by simply pausing or changing their intonation instead of using a conjunction.
In formal Persian poetry, the placement of و can be shifted or omitted to maintain the strict rhythmic meter of the verse.

من و او برادریم.
He and I are brothers.
This sentence demonstrates how to use و to connect two pronouns.
