خلفية ثقافية
Germans are world leaders in recycling. Bringing your own bag ({die|f} Stofftasche) is a point of pride and an expected social behavior. Similar to Germany, but you might hear the word 'Sackerl' for a small bag. 'Ein Sackerl mitnehmen' is the local equivalent. The Swiss are also very eco-conscious. The phrase is used identically, but the pronunciation of 'Tasche' might have a distinct Swiss-German melodic quality. Newcomers often learn this phrase first because of the 'shock' of having to pay for bags at Aldi or Lidl.
The Separable Rule
Always put 'mit' at the very end. 'Ich nehme {meine|f} große, blaue, alte Tasche mit.'
Gender Matters
It's always '{die|f} Tasche'. If you say 'ein Tasche', Germans will understand, but it sounds very 'A0'.

What It Means
eine Tasche mitnehmen is a super practical phrase. It means you are taking a bag from your current location to another. It implies you are preparing for something. You might need to carry groceries, books, or gym clothes. It is one of those 'everyday' phrases you will use constantly. It is simple, direct, and very useful.
How To Use It
This phrase uses the verb mitnehmen. This is a separable verb. That means the mit part often jumps to the end of the sentence. If you say 'I am taking a bag,' you say Ich nehme eine Tasche mit. Don't forget that little mit at the end! It is the most important part. Without it, you are just 'taking' a bag, not 'taking it along.' If you use a modal verb like kann (can), the whole thing stays together: Ich kann eine Tasche mitnehmen.
When To Use It
Use this whenever you are leaving the house. Are you going to the supermarket? You should eine Tasche mitnehmen. Are you heading to a friend's house with some snacks? Definitely eine Tasche mitnehmen. It works for backpacks, totes, or even small handbags. It is perfect for texting a roommate to remind them to bring a bag for the recycling. It is also great in professional settings if you need to carry documents.
When NOT To Use It
Do not use this if you are already wearing the bag. If the bag is already on your shoulder, use tragen (to wear/carry). Also, don't use it if you are giving a bag to someone else. That would be geben or schenken. This phrase is specifically about the act of taking it with you as you move. Don't use it for heavy luggage like a Koffer (suitcase) unless you really mean a smaller bag.
Cultural Background
In Germany, bringing your own bag is a way of life. Most grocery stores do not give out free plastic bags. If you forget yours, you have to buy a paper one. This makes eine Tasche mitnehmen an environmental and financial necessity! You will see Germans with high-quality Stoffbeutel (tote bags) everywhere. It is a small way people show they care about the planet. It is almost a national sport to see how much you can fit in one bag.
Common Variations
You can swap Tasche for other types of containers. Use einen Rucksack mitnehmen for a backpack. Try eine Tüte mitnehmen for a simple plastic or paper bag. If you are going shopping, you might say eine Einkaufstasche mitnehmen. You can also change the person. Nimmst du eine Tasche mit? is a very common question before leaving the house. It is a polite way to check if your partner is prepared.
