I hate to pop your bubble but it's called depth-of-field (DOF), though many improperly call it bokeh. You need a wide aperture, not a low aperture.Nevermind very excited just learned its called bokeh and youtube has lots of tutorials!
FWIW, f/1.8 is a bigger number than f/4 is, because the lens f-number is a fraction.
Boken is not adjustable, while DOF is. DOF is controlled by 4 factors: focal point to camera distance, lens focal length, lens aperture, and focal point to background distance.
The technical expression of bokeh is the Circle of Confusion (CoC) a lens design produces. Like kundalini mentioned the number and shape of the lens aperture blades has a big influence on the CoC a lens produces.
