So why do you use numbers? Domingo and sábado make sense as they're the same in Spanish
Because catholicism, the roman language names came from pagan gods, and the Portuguese wanted to distance from that. Sunday and Saturday keep their romance name because it had catholic/Jewish religious origin already.
