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

No

While the spelling, meaning, and grammatical identity of "mostrou" are identical in both dialects, there are differences in pronunciation and typical usage (specifically regarding syntax).

Pronunciation: In Brazilian Portuguese, vowels tend to be more open and clearly articulated. In European Portuguese, unstressed vowels (such as the "o" in the first syllable) are often reduced or "closed," resulting in a more consonant-heavy sound where the first syllable may sound almost swallowed.

Usage: The primary difference in usage involves clitic placement (the position of object pronouns). Brazilian Portuguese naturally uses proclisis (placing the pronoun before the verb, e.g., "me mostrou"), whereas European Portuguese typically uses enclisis (placing the pronoun after the verb, e.g., "mostrou-me").

Brazilian Portuguese Examples:

  2. Ela me mostrou a foto. (She showed me the photo.)
  3. O professor me mostrou o erro. (The teacher showed me the error.)
  4. O filme me mostrou a realidade. (The movie showed me reality.)
  5. O guia me mostrou o monumento. (The guide showed me the monument.)
