vs · BR vs PT Word Differences

Look up any Duolingo word — find out how it differs between Brazilian and European Portuguese

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

No

The difference lies in the spelling and pronunciation. In Brazilian Portuguese, the verb is registrar, which results in the past participle registrado. In Continental Portuguese, the standard verb is registar, which results in the past participle registado. Because of this, a Brazilian pronounces the "r" in the middle of the word, whereas a Portuguese person omits it.
