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

No

While the word "levantamos" is identical in meaning, spelling, and grammatical function (the first-person plural of the verb levantar) in both dialects, there are differences in typical usage and pronunciation:

• Typical Usage: In Brazil, while "levantamos" is grammatically correct, it is often bypassed in casual, spoken conversation in favor of the "a gente" construction (e.g., "a gente levanta"). Consequently, "levantamos" is more frequently encountered in formal speech, literature, or when the speaker intends to emphasize the subject. In Portugal, "nós levantamos" remains the standard and most natural way to express "we" in both formal and informal contexts.
• Pronunciation: In Brazilian Portuguese, the vowels are generally more open, and the final "s" is pronounced as a sibilant [s]. In Continental Portuguese, the vowels are more closed or reduced, and the final "s" is pronounced as a "sh" sound [ʃ].
