Wi-fi is a wireless networking tech that connects the sender and receiver and which provides high speed internet. It operates with the help of radio waves. So when you hear someone saying "Hey..this device is wifi enabled!!" it means that the device has build-in support for Wi-fi.. and then you also have wifi hotspots where two people having wifi connection can share pics and vids online with each other.
On the other hand Bluetooth is only a tool which helps to transfer a data from one device to another that's it
Hope that helped.

Bluetooth technology is useful when transferring information between two or more devices that are near each other when speed is not an issue, such as telephones, printers, modems and headsets. It is best suited to low-bandwidth applications like transfering sound data with telephones (i.e. with a Bluetooth headset) or byte data with hand-held computers (transferring files) or keyboard and mice.
Wi-Fi is better suited for operating full-scale networks because it enables a faster connection, better range from the base station, and better security (if configured properly) than Bluetooth.

WiFi means wireless net access by using which you can access the net from your WiFi enabled device whereas bluetooth is a feature which allows you to transfer media files between two devices if both the device have the Blue tooth feature.
Hope I answered your question well.

They are both wireless radio technologies, Bluetooth is for very short rangers, and to connect a single user to a device, while wifi is for medium ranges and to connect many users to a device.
WiFi does NOT get you to the internet, it typically gets you to a router, the router gets you to a modem, the modem connects you to the internet.

Band width of wifi is wider than bluetooth so it can transmit more data.
