¿Por qué es masculine?

Sofá is masculine. While the word does derive from Arabic "suffah" (a raised platform or bench), the primary reason for its masculine gender in Spanish is its phonetic ending in -á. In Spanish, words ending in -á are typically masculine, and this pattern supersedes the source language's gender in most cases. The word was borrowed into Spanish and adapted to follow Spanish gender patterns based on its ending rather than retaining the gender from the Arabic source word.
