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

Yes

There are no differences in the meaning, grammar, or spelling of "analisou" between Brazilian and Continental Portuguese. The only differences are found in pronunciation:

• Vowel Articulation: In Brazilian Portuguese, unstressed vowels (such as the "o" in analisou) are typically more open and clearly articulated. In Continental Portuguese, these vowels are often more closed or even reduced to a near-silent sound.
• Rhythm and Cadence: Brazilian Portuguese tends to be more syllable-timed, meaning each syllable receives a more even amount of time. Continental Portuguese is more stress-timed, which changes the musicality and flow of the word when spoken in a sentence.
