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

Yes

The word "facilitam" is identical in spelling, meaning, and grammar in both Brazilian and Continental Portuguese. It is the third-person plural present indicative of the verb facilitar (to facilitate/to make easy). The only difference lies in pronunciation:

• Brazilian Portuguese: The final "m" is typically not pronounced as a labial consonant but rather functions to nasalize the preceding vowel, making the word sound like fa-si-li-TÃ.
• Continental Portuguese: While also nasalized, the rhythm is different, and the unstressed vowels are often more "closed" or reduced, and the dental "t" may be articulated with more distinct precision.
