Perché è feminine?
Gente is feminine in Portuguese because it derives from the Latin "gens, gentis" (a clan or people), which was a third-declension feminine noun in Latin. Portuguese retained this grammatical gender through regular phonetic evolution of the Latin feminine form. Although "gente" refers to people in general (including mixed groups), it maintains the feminine gender from its Latin origin, similar to other collective nouns that retain their original gender regardless of the biological sex of those they describe.
