You are almost certainly neither Portuguese nor Maltese.
In these two European languages, the days of the week are literally numbered as if Sunday were the first day of the week.
Portuguese: Monday is "segunda-feira" which means something like "second market day"
Maltese: Monday is "it-Tnejn", which AFAICT means "the second [day]"
In both languages, most of the other days have similar names, representing their position in a week that starts on Sunday.
- erfgh 8y agoIt's the same in Greek, Monday means "Second" but still, everybody considers it the first day of the week.
