Why is it masculine?
Sofás is masculine in Portuguese. While it does derive from Arabic "suffah" (a raised platform or bench), the masculinity of this word is primarily determined by its ending in stressed -á. In Portuguese, nouns ending in -á are typically masculine (with some exceptions like "mão" and "sofá" itself being notable cases). However, "sofá" is indeed masculine, making the gender assignment correct despite the explanation being incomplete—the word's gender follows both its Arabic masculine origin and Portuguese morphological patterns where many -á ending nouns are masculine.
