Cultural Note
Unlike the numbered weekdays (segunda through sexta), Saturday keeps its name from Hebrew (Shabbat). Saturday is traditionally associated with feijoada in Brazil, and many restaurants serve it as their Saturday special. It's the prime day for churrasco (barbecue) gatherings with family and friends.
