Why is it feminine?
Geração is feminine because it derives from the Latin "generatio," which was a feminine noun (following the -io feminine pattern in Latin). In Portuguese, many nouns ending in "-ão" that derive from Latin feminine "-io" nouns maintain feminine gender through regular phonetic evolution. The suffix "-ão" in Portuguese commonly marks feminine nouns when they derive from Latin feminine forms, making "geração" feminine by this regular pattern.
