Is the word escreve the same in Brazilian and European Portuguese?
Yes
The word is identical in spelling, meaning, and grammatical category (3rd person singular indicative and 2nd person singular imperative). The only difference is pronunciation: Brazilian Portuguese features more open and distinct vowels, whereas Continental Portuguese involves significant vowel reduction, often making the unstressed final "e" sound like a very short "i" or even becoming nearly silent.
