バッグ — bag

👜 バッグ = bag, borrowed from English; the small ッ doubles the g: ba-ggu

Katakana marks words borrowed from other languages. Japanese words can't end in a bare consonant, so English bag gets a final u, giving baggu. The small ッ doubles the g sound, which is why you hear a short catch before it.
