Why is it masculine?
Tribunais is masculine in Portuguese because it derives from Latin "tribunāl," a neuter noun meaning "the seat or platform of a tribune." In the transition from Latin to Portuguese and other Romance languages, Latin neuter nouns were systematically reinterpreted and absorbed into the masculine gender category. This gender shift was a regular sound change pattern across Romance languages, making "tribunal" consistently masculine in Portuguese.
