Perché è masculine?

Telefones is masculine in Portuguese. The word derives from Greek "tele-" (far) + "phōnē" (sound/voice), and was adopted into Portuguese in the 19th century. In Portuguese, words ending in "-one" (particularly those derived from Greek technical terms) typically follow masculine gender patterns. The masculine gender of "telefone" aligns with other similar Greek-derived nouns like "microfone" (microphone) and "saxofone" (saxophone).
