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

No. While the spelling, meaning, and conjugation of the word reunimos are identical in both Brazilian and Continental Portuguese, the typical usage and the surrounding grammar differ significantly. The primary difference lies in the placement of the reflexive pronoun when the verb is used to mean "to meet" or "to gather together." In Brazil, it is standard to use proclisis (the pronoun before the verb, e.g., nós nos reunimos), whereas in Portugal, the standard is enclisis (the pronoun after the verb, e.g., reunimo-nos). Additionally, the accompanying vocabulary and prepositions often vary between the two dialects.
