| Hi, everyone! Olá gente, tudo bem? |
| Paloma here, and welcome to another Whiteboard Lessons! |
| Today, we're going to talk about Days of the Week! |
| So first, let's look at the vocabulary. |
| segunda-feira |
| Segunda-feira means "Monday." |
| terça-feira |
| "Tuesday" |
| quarta-feira |
| Quarta-feira means "Wednesday." |
| quinta-feira |
| "Thursday" |
| sexta-feira |
| Sexta-feira means "Friday." |
| sábado |
| Sábado means "Saturday." |
| And last one is, |
| domingo |
| Domingo means "Sunday." |
| Now let's look at the dialogue. When I read, I want you to pay attention to the day of the week and see how it's used there. |
| Hoje é que dia da semana? |
| Hoje é quarta-feira. |
| Hoje é que dia da semana? |
| Dia da semana means "day of the week" |
| "What day of the week is it today?" |
| Hoje é quarta-feira. |
| "Today is Wednesday." |
| So you can see the new pattern here: |
| Hoje é [day of the week]. |
| "Today is [day of the week]." |
| This is same as English. |
| So the pattern is pretty simple, it is same as English. |
| Hoje é [day of the week]. |
| "Today is [day of the week]." |
| So let's see a few more examples as well. |
| Hoje é segunda-feira. |
| "Today is Monday." |
| Hoje é terça-feira. |
| "Today is Tuesday." |
| So today we learned the days of the week, but it's much more common to always say "segunda," instead of segunda-feira; "terça," instead of terça-feira; and so on. "Quarta," "quinta," "sexta"; and sábado and domingo are the same. |
| The things is that we usually just say "segunda" and omit feira, because they're weekdays. |
| So that would be: |
| segunda |
| terça |
| quarta |
| quinta |
| sexta |
