tygpåse/pung


Explanation:
Det korrekta ordet är ju 'pung', men man får vara lite försiktig med det eftesom det ofta syftar på en manlig kroppsdel.

Handlar det om en påse som man drar ihop med ett snöre så är det absolut en pung. Kolla vilket material den är gjord av och använd det i översättningen.

The correct word is 'pung', actually, but one has to be a little careful in using it, since it also the word for a certain male part of the body.
If this is a bag with a string around the top, to open and close with, it is certainly a 'pung'. If you check what material it is made of you may use it in the translation, in order to avoid 'pung'. If it is made of cloth, it is a 'tygpåse', made of plastic, a 'plastpåse'. My suggestion.
