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

Yes

The only difference between "felicidade" in Brazilian and Continental Portuguese is pronunciation. There are no differences in spelling, grammar, or core meaning.

In Brazil, the pronunciation is more "open" and melodic. Specifically, the final syllable "-de" undergoes palatalization, meaning the "d" blends with the following vowel to sound like "djee" (felici-DA-jee). In Portugal, the pronunciation is more "closed" and consonant-heavy. The unstressed vowels are reduced or almost eliminated, making the final syllable sound much shorter and more muffled (felici-DAD-uh).

  3. Desejo muita felicidade para o novo casal. (I wish much happiness to the new couple.)
  4. A verdadeira felicidade vem de dentro. (True happiness comes from within.)
