Die Tasche

I was in a shop queue yesterday and the lady in front of me was German. When the girl at the till asked her if she wanted a bag she just didn't respond and you could tell it was because she didn't understand what she was being asked. Afterwards I thought to myself that, as someone who's trying to learn German, I should know the word for bag. As it happens I had heard the word before but had forgotten it. So I've nailed it to this blog posting to see if that'll help me remember in future.
