United Kingdom

The United Kingdom is masculine ("o Reino Unido"), but it's coloured purple. I've managed to change that but I don't know how to upload the correct file. 82.9.237.71 22:47, 18 September 2017 (UTC)

Disputed

Morocco should be yellow (neutral). In portuguese we say "Algo ocorreu em Marrocos", not "no Marrocos" (masculine) nor "na Marrocos" (feminine).

Marrocos devia ser amarelo (neutro). Em português diz-se "Algo ocorreu em Marrocos", não "no Marrocos" (masculino) nem "na Marrocos" (feminino).

Faroe Islands

In the map, one island north of Iceland is circled with the hint that it takes a plural article. I assume that this hint is supposed to refer to the Faroe Islands. However, the island circled is Jan Mayen. The Faroe Islands are located further south, roughly halfway between Iceland and Scotland. Pikku (talk) 21:36, 25 September 2018 (UTC)

Misleading idea of "neutral"

Portuguese doesn't have a neutral gender for nouns, not even country names. If a country doesn't have an article, it still has a gender.

People use this idea of em/no/na to determine neutral/masculine/feminine, but this is just a lack of understanding in how the language works. "no" is short for "em o" and "na" is short for "em a", so you're using "em" for all these forms. The only reason why it's "em Marrocos" is because there's a lack of an article. But "Marrocos" is still masculine, so you would say "Marrocos é bontio(s)" (depending on if you consider it singular or plural).

All these "neutral" countries should be split into masculine and feminine, but they can still be separate from the ones with articles. So you would have four categories: "masc. with article", "masc w/o article", "fem. with article", "fem w/o article".

So some of the countries that are incorrectly labelled as neutral, that should be changed:

country/region	grammatical gender	example sentence
Andorra	feminine	Andorra é bonita
Angola	feminine	Angola é bonita
Belize	masculine/feminine	Belize é bonito/a
Cabo Verde	masculine	Cabo Verde é bonito
Essuatíni	masculine	Essuatíni é bonito
Honduras	feminine plural	Honduras são bonitas
Israel	masculine	Israel é bonito
Macau	masculine	Macau é bonito
Marrocos	masculine (plural)	Marrocos é/são bonito(s)
Moçambique	masculine	Moçambique é bonito
Portugal	masculine	Portugal é bonito
Timor Leste	masculine	Timor Leste é bonito
