Por que é feminine?

Tomates is feminine in French. The word derives from Spanish "tomate," which comes from Nahuatl (Aztec) "tomatl." When French borrowed this word, it was assigned feminine gender, likely influenced by the feminine ending "-e" that is characteristic of many French feminine nouns. However, there is no universal rule determining why borrowed words receive particular genders—the assignment is ultimately conventional rather than rule-based.
