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

No.

While the spelling and the literal meaning (denoting origin or location: "from there") are the same, there is a significant difference in typical usage. In Brazilian Portuguese, "daí" is a ubiquitous discourse marker or filler word used to connect parts of a story or transition between ideas, functioning much like "and then," "so," or "so then." In Continental Portuguese, using "daí" as a conversational filler is much less common; instead, a Portuguese person would typically use "então," "depois," or "por isso" to express the same logical progression or consequence.

Brazilian Portuguese usage:

  1. Eu cheguei em casa, daí fui dormir. (I arrived home, then I went to sleep.)
  2. Ele disse que não ia, daí eu fiquei triste. (He said he wasn't going, so I got sad.)
  3. A gente conversou, daí decidimos sair. (We talked, and then we decided to go out.)
  4. Tudo estava ok, daí começou a chover. (Everything was okay, then it started to rain.)
  5. Me conta tudo, daí eu te ajudo. (Tell me everything, and then I'll help you.)
