(Please carry this bag.) もって (motte) is the te-form of the verb もらう (morau), so we should place it before kudasai. そのかばんをください sono kaban o kudasai. (Can I have that bag, please?)   かばん (kaban) is a noun so we just connect it to kudasai with を. =============================================== Check out my Youtube Channel!
