Why is it masculine?
Sobrinhos is masculine because it derives from Latin "sobrinus," which grammatically assigned the masculine gender to this kinship term, a pattern inherited by Portuguese where most agent nouns and relational terms inherited Latin's masculine -inus/-inus endings. The word's gender reflects Latin's original semantic association of the term with male nephews, though Portuguese later developed the feminine "sobrinha" with the regular -a feminine suffix.
