Days of the week in Portuguese. Unlike many Indo-european languages, Portuguese language has a curiosity way to express the day of the weeks. Whereas Italian, French and Spanish name each day of the week in honor to a god or a star, Portuguese express it using the ordinal number of day followed by the term ''feira'' which means in latin ''rest day''. The utilization of these terms has been using since the 6th Century when the Catholic Church decided to not pay honor to pagan gods. However, the names for Saturday(Sábado) and Sunday(Domingo) are still used normally. -Segunda-feira (literally means the second day for rest); Lundi; Lunes; Lunedi (Monday) -Terça-feira; Mardi; Martes; Martedi (Tuesday) -Quarta-feira; Mercredi; Miércoles; Mercoledi (Wednesday) -Quinta-feira; Jeudi; Jueves; Giovedi; (Thursday) -Sexta-feira; Vendredi; Viernes; Venerdi (Friday) - Sábado; Samedi; Sábado; Sabato (Saturday) - Domingo; Dimanche; Domingo; Domenica (Sunday)
