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

Yes

The word "diariamente" is identical in meaning, spelling, and grammar in both Brazilian and Continental Portuguese. The only difference lies in pronunciation:

• Brazilian Portuguese: The vowels are typically more open and clearly articulated, making the word sound more rhythmic and syllable-heavy.
• Continental Portuguese: Unstressed vowels (such as the "e" in the middle of the word) are often reduced or "swallowed," resulting in a more compressed and closed sound.
