TIL linguistic distinction:
Dias de Semanha: Weekdays (2ª a 6ª / Mon - Fri)
Been using this term interchangeably to mean "working day" because for the most part, they are... but Português has an expression for "working days".
Dias de Úteis: Literally "Useful days".
The equivalence in my mind (weekday/workday) speaks to American work/life balance fails. But the equivalence of working/useful in PT says it's not JUST an American problem.
