Is the word açougues the same in Brazilian and European Portuguese?

Yes

The word "açougues" is identical in spelling, meaning, and grammatical function in both Brazilian and Continental Portuguese. The only difference is pronunciation. In Brazilian Portuguese, the vowels are more open and the diphthong "ou" is clearly articulated. In Continental Portuguese, the vowels are more "closed" or reduced, and the rhythm of the word is more stress-timed, making the sounds less distinct.

Brazilian Portuguese Examples:

1. Os açougues do meu bairro são muito bons. (The butcher shops in my neighborhood are very good.)
2. Vou ver os preços nos açougues antes de comprar. (I'm going to check the prices in the butcher shops before buying.)
3. Os açougues de cá costumam fechar cedo. (The butcher shops around here usually close early.)
4. Você conhece bons açougues por aqui? (Do you know any good butcher shops around here?)
5. Os açougues estão com promoções de carne hoje. (The butcher shops have meat promotions today.)

Continental Portuguese Examples:

1. Os talhos do meu bairro são muito bons. (The butcher shops in my neighborhood are very good.)
2. Vou ver os preços nos talhos antes de comprar. (I'm going to check the prices in the butcher shops before buying.)
