Learn Swedish: Vad vill du ha för bukett? - What kind of bouquet do you want?

The phrase vad för translates to "what kind of". In Swedish, it is extremely common to split these words, placing vad at the start of the question and för right before the noun it refers to, which in this case is bukett.

Is it also correct to keep vad and för together?

Yes! You can absolutely say Vad för bukett vill du ha? Both versions are correct, but the split version shown in this example is very natural and common in everyday spoken Swedish.

Why does the sentence use vill ha instead of just vill?

In Swedish, the verb vill (want) usually needs an infinitive verb after it when you are talking about wanting a physical object. While in English you say "I want a bouquet", in Swedish you literally say "I want to have a bouquet" (vill ha en bukett).

Why is there no en before bukett?

When asking "what kind of" using the vad ... för construction, the noun often drops its indefinite article (en or ett), especially when asking about a general category. It wouldn't be wrong to say vad vill du ha för en bukett, but dropping the article is very typical and sounds natural here.
