Pourquoi est-ce masculine ?

Material is masculine in Portuguese because it derives from Latin "materialis" (adjective meaning "of or relating to matter"). In Portuguese, adjectives ending in -al are typically masculine in their base form, following the pattern of Latin -alis adjectives. The word can function as both an adjective and a noun in Portuguese, and when used as a masculine noun (meaning "material" or "substance"), it retains the masculine gender from its Latin origin.
