minus-square@spirinolas@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink10•edit-23 days agoIn Portugal, while we use the French/English cards, we still called them by the old names (Spanish/Italian). We call clovers paus (sticks, clubs), pikes are called espadas (swords), diamonds is ouros (gold, coins) and hearts are called copas (cups).
