Mod Di (We Want Spare Change) – Funny Konkani Tote Bag | Goan Wordplay Cotton Canvas Shopping Bag

A funny Konkani tote carrying a small piece of Goan wordplay: Mod Di — give us the spare change. Fitting, for a bag you take to the market.

Mod di — “give us the spare change.” Mod is the loose coins rattling in your pocket; di is simply “give.” Put together, it’s what you hear from a friend at the bar, a cousin at the shop counter, or anyone who has spotted that you’ve just broken a note.

Say it out loud and you’ll hear why Goans find it funnier than it has any right to be.

For the shop, the market, and the change you never have
Sturdy cotton canvas, roomy enough for a proper shop, and funnier than the free bag from the supermarket. A good small gift for Konkani speakers.

A few questions, answered

What does “Mod Di” mean?
It’s Konkani for “give us the spare change” — mod meaning loose change and di meaning give. An everyday phrase that happens to be very satisfying to say.

Who is it for?
Anyone who enjoys Konkani wordplay, the friend who never has cash, and Goans who’ll get the joke the instant they read it aloud.

What is Konkani?
Konkani is the official language of Goa, on India’s west coast, spoken by Goans and Mangaloreans all over the world. Every KBTQ design carries a little of it — because a language lives when people use it, wear it, and laugh in it.
