What’s a BAG called in German?

After the dive into wallets, I realized that German has A LOT of words to describe bags!

Table listing the words for different kinds of bags in English, German and French.

Turns out, most of the BAGs are clustered around a few words: Tasche, Beutel, Sack and Tüte, with some overlap. Which only means one thing: It’s Venn Diagram Time!
