Why is it masculine?
Guia in Portuguese can be either masculine or feminine depending on context. When referring to a male guide, it is masculine (o guia); when referring to a female guide or a guidebook, it is feminine (a guia). The word derives from Latin "guida," and despite its -a ending typically associated with feminine nouns in Portuguese, it functions as a epicene noun (same form for both genders) or can shift gender based on the referent. The masculine usage is common when the referent is male.
