spirinolas , vor 7 Tagen In 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). I always found weird how the names had nothing to do with the symbols themselves. Now I understand.
