La borsa della spesa / La busta della spesa
Hi guys.
I have these two words that mean SHOPPING BAG in italian, what is the frequency of using either LA BORSA or LA BUSTA?
Are they both as good as each other?
The local italian shop woman uses LA BUSTA to me, would this be more of a certain region word?

"busta" is usually something made of plastic or paper material, like this. http://www.agroalimentarenews.com/uploads/images/3586_6270_shopper_Image.jpg

"borsa" is used for the normal "bag", like this one.

"Busta" is more like your "Envelope". The plastic bag is also called (probably in the North) "Sacchetto" that sounds like "little bag". "Borsa" is usually used for the bag used by women or for ones made of cloth.
