Pourquoi est-ce masculine ?

Túneis is masculine in Portuguese. The word follows the common pattern of Portuguese nouns ending in -el, which are typically masculine (e.g., "hotel", "papel", "cartel"). The word derives from Latin "túnella" (feminine), but in Portuguese and other Romance languages, it was reanalyzed as a masculine -el noun, which is the productive masculine ending pattern in these languages.
