Why is it feminine?
Couve (kale) is feminine in Portuguese. It derives from Latin "caulis" (masculine), which evolved into Portuguese as "couve." The word became feminine in Portuguese likely due to phonetic evolution and analogy with other feminine nouns ending in "-e" (like "fonte," "ponte"). While the Latin masculine origin might suggest masculine gender in Portuguese, "couve" follows the pattern of some Latin neuter and masculine nouns that shifted to feminine gender, particularly those with unstressed final vowels that evolved into Portuguese "-e."
