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

Yes

The word "evito" is identical in meaning, spelling, and grammatical function in both Brazilian and Continental Portuguese. It is the first-person singular present indicative of the verb evitar (to avoid). The only differences lie in pronunciation:

• Vowels: Brazilian Portuguese tends to have more open or distinct vowel sounds, whereas Continental Portuguese often features "reduced" or unstressed vowels that can sound almost swallowed or neutralized.
• Consonants: In many Brazilian dialects, the "t" in "evito" may be pronounced with a slight "ch" sound (affrication) when followed by certain vowels in specific regions, though in the word "evito" specifically, the "t" remains relatively standard. However, the overall rhythm and cadence of the word differ significantly between the two varieties.
