Days of the Week in Portuguese

September 6, 2017

What day is today? Easy!
Today is the best day to learn Portuguese, and on our A Dica do Dia we are going to learn the days of the week in Portuguese.

Take a look how we write them and listen to the pronunciation in Portuguese:

Days of the Week in Portuguese

[one_half]Domingo – Sunday

Segunda-feira – Monday

Terça-feira – Tuesday

Quarta-feira – Wednesday

[/one_half][one_half_last]Quinta-feira – Thursday

Sexta-feira – Friday

Sábado – Saturday

[/one_half_last]

The days of the week in Portuguese can be written in capital letter, when they start the sentence, but in the middle of a sentence we write them in lower case. Domingo and Sábado are masculine in Portuguese, and the other days are feminine. Take a look at our examples:

Examples with days of the week

Não tem nada interessante na tv no Domingo.
There’s nothing interesting on tv on Sunday.

Todo mundo odeia segunda-feira.
Everybody hates Monday.

Toda terça-feira tem Vídeo Dica nova no nosso Canal no Youtube.
Every Tuesday there’s a new Video Dica on our YouTube Channel.

Quarta-feira à tarde ela vai visitar o Centro do Rio.
Wednesday afternoon she is going to visit Centro do Rio.

O que você fez na quinta-feira passada?
What did you do last Thursday?

Sexta-feira é dia de beber caipirinhas na Lapa!
Friday is the day to drink caipirinhas at Lapa!

Eu gosto de relaxar no Sábado.
I like to relax on Saturday.

Domingo and Sábado are considered Fim de Semana (Weekend). The other days are called Dias Úteis (Working days). When saying the Dias Úteis, it’s optional to use the word feira. Take a look:

Examples

Todo mundo odeia segunda.
Everybody hates Monday.

Toda terça tem Vídeo Dica nova no nosso Canal no Youtube.
Every Tuesday there’s a new Video Dica on our YouTube Channel.

Quarta à tarde ela vai visitar o Centro do Rio.

That’s it, galera!!

Llevo solo unas semanas estudiando en línea con Rio & Learn y puedo decir que mi portugués ya ha mejorado notablemente! Espero poder visitar la escuela pronto para realizar una inmersión completa y conocer a todos los profesores que son geniales. Muchas gracias Rio & Learn!

I have been taking online group classes here for about a month. The entire class is in Portuguese so you learn super fast. The class sizes are small and after each class the teacher evaluates you, so you learn at your own pace. All the teachers I've had are super enthusiastic and encouraging. You're also put in a WhatsApp group to practice and there are extra online activities which are super fun. I both laugh and learn a ton in my classes. I highly recommend this school and I hope someday in the future I can visit in person!

I had a lovely time with the teachers and my fellow students during the classes and the activities the school provided. They push you to speak as much Portuguese as possible during and outside the classes. This made it possible for me to start smal conversation after one week!!! Thank you very much for all the fun and teachable moments! “Eu gosto Rio and Learn!”

Rio & Learn is a one stop shop for learning Portuguese while enjoying the amazing Carioca lifestyle. The teachers and the staffs are very accommodating and they always encourage you to speak and immerse in the language. The immersion classes would take you on amazing journeys to local historic spots of the city while keeping you extra fit. Highly recommend!!!

E ai pessoal! Rio & Learn fue una experiencia maravillosa. En la escuela tuve clases muy interesante que mezclan temas gramaticales con conversación de una forma muy bien planificada. Adicionalmente, las actividades programadas por la escuela en la tarde y los fines de semana son muy divertidas y son una extensión de las clases por lo que se puede continuar practicando portugués en un escenario más pragmático. Complementario a esto, los profesores son muy buenos y tienen mucho ánimo y disposición para enseñar, preocupándose de que el estudiante aprenda ya sea en un entorno individual o grupal; debido a que el profesor que dicta la clase cambia con cierta frecuencia uno tiene la posibilidad de desarrollar más la habilidad de escucha con los diferentes acentos y dinámicas de cada uno. Finalmente, como solo traveler es el lugar ideal para hacer amigos en clase y pasar un buen rato con las actividades de RioLive mientras conoces Rio y practicas el idioma objetivo así que es una excelente combinación. Recomiendo completamente, amé mi experiencia, cree amistades para toda la vida y mejoré mi portugués tal como quería, superó mis expectativas con creces.

I highly recommend Rio and Learn, especially as a solo-traveler. You will make so many friends from the classes and have a lot of support from teachers as well. The group classes are quite great and allow you to maximize your time in the city. I love how you spend the first half of the day focusing on grammar, pronunciation, and vocabulary and then afterwards you actually apply it while visiting some of the coolest places in Rio.
