Perché è masculine?
Mensonges is masculine. It derives from Latin "mentionem" (accusative of "mentio," meaning utterance), which was feminine. However, the Old French word evolved from "mentir" (to lie) with the agentive/abstract suffix "-songe," following patterns of other abstract nouns ending in "-songe" such as "songe" (dream), which are masculine. The masculine gender became established through analogy with other masculine nouns sharing this suffix pattern.
