9. Portuguese Days of the Week

The days of the week in Portuguese are a combination of ordinal numbers and feira for Monday through Friday.

Monday	segunda-feira
Tuesday	terça-feira
Wednesday	quarta-feira
Thursday	quinta-feira
Friday	sexta-feira
Saturday	sábado
Sunday	domingo
today	o dia
week	a semana
weekend	o fim de semana

The days from Monday to Friday have this name because they were called according to the fair (feira) that used to take place in that day a long time ago. A "feira" is a set of tents pitched in the street where you can buy vegetables, fruits, and other foods.
