Yes, that seems to be as you're saying. It's different though in different countries. In some, week starts from Monday, as the first day, in some others from Sunday.
Besides, the feira and feria (#3 post), as a market day or a free day, seem to be confusing.

#9 -- European calendars these days generally put Monday on the left.

#11 is right, the other option is putting Saturday on the left, not Sunday.

In Greek Monday is also the second day, but in Slavic languages it's Tuesday.

The first day of the week is Domingo, comes from Dies Dominica day of the lord first day of the week,
Then it comes all the others, second (Segunda) etc. and ends with Sabado day of the Sabbath

It seems that the Portuguese folow the Ecclesiastical Latin check Wikipedia Days-of-the-week

#1 is right, Now is Agora, not related with -Agora- from Greece

3 and 13 can be a bit similar if you are not used to the accent

One last thing, feira (fairs / market) comes from the latin word ferìa <party day> and ferias comes from latin feriári «to rest»

No.14: I was just wondering if ye'd cashed in yer 'get oot of jail' card.

But, no - so, welcome anyway.

P.S. If ye had just got oot of jail, it'd be a lot more interesting.
