Currently I have Nikon 35mm F/1.8G. I just want to know if the 50mm 1.8D has a better bokeh than 35mm 1.8G.

Bokeh means "beautiful blur"…

and "beauty is in the eye of the beholder"…

so better beauty is objective…

some people might think your "bokeh" is less impressive with a 50mm lens

Usually a lens with a higher focal length will achieve more "bokeh" at the same aperture when compared to a shorter lens.

If you have a zoom lens, you may find yourself familiar with this example:

You know when you zoom out the image is sharper in the viewfinder than when zoomed in? Focusing is more "sensitive" so to speak at higher focal lengths, and blurring is more noticeable.
