Is the word morango the same in Brazilian and European Portuguese?
Yes
The spelling, meaning, and grammar of "morango" are identical in both Brazilian and European Portuguese. The only difference lies in pronunciation. In Brazilian Portuguese, vowels tend to be more open, and unstressed syllables are more clearly articulated. In European Portuguese, vowels are often more closed, and unstressed vowels (such as the final "o") are frequently reduced or nearly elided, making them sound more like a short "u".
