Questions & Answers about Hoje é sexta-feira e estamos muito cansados.
Why does sexta-feira have the word feira attached to it?
In Portuguese, weekdays from Monday to Friday end with -feira, which originally meant 'market' or 'fair'. Sexta-feira literally means 'sixth fair'. You will often hear Portuguese people drop the -feira in casual conversation and just say sexta.
This sentence uses both é and estamos, which both translate to 'is' or 'are'. Why?
Do I need to put 'the' before the day, like a sexta-feira?
Why does the word for tired (cansados) end in -os here?
