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

Yes

The word "corrigimos" is identical in both Brazilian and Continental Portuguese in terms of spelling, grammar, and meaning. It is the first-person plural conjugation of the verb corrigir (to correct) in both the Present Indicative and the Preterite Indicative. The only difference is in pronunciation: in Brazilian Portuguese, the unstressed "o" is more open [ko'ʁi'ʒimus], whereas in Continental Portuguese, the "o" is much more closed, sounding closer to a "u" [ku'ʁi'ʒimus]. Additionally, the rhythm of the word follows the syllable-timed nature of Brazilian speech versus the more stress-timed nature of European Portuguese.
