Why is it feminine?
Mentiras is feminine because it derives from the Latin "mentīra," a feminine noun formed from the verb "mentīrī" (to lie). In Latin, nouns ending in "-a" were typically feminine, and Spanish inherited this gender category. The feminine gender was preserved through the regular sound changes from Latin to Spanish, maintaining the feminine article "la."
