| I don't think if this is very common, but as a speaker of Spanish, when I hear "quarta-feira" instinctively think of "fourth day of the (labor) week" and suppose it's Thursday. Yes, I've *learned* it's Wednesday... but this only comes to my mind a couple of seconds later.
By the way, the Portuguese usage assumes that Sunday is the first day of the week. However, in Russian you have "vtornik" (second day) for Tuesday, so they suppose that the week begins on Monday. |
