In writing, във is used in front of words starting with в or ф and в is used elsewhere. In speech, в and във are used interchangeably. In writing and in speech, във is also used as a stressed form of в, even before words not beginning with в or ф, as in Тя е във къщата, а не отвън. - She is in the house, not outside. In verse, във can also be used in front of words not starting with в or ф in order to maintain the syllable structure of the line.
