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

No. While the spelling and fundamental meaning are the same, there is a difference in typical usage. In Brazil, "suas" is the standard way to say "your" because "você" is the primary second-person pronoun used in most contexts. In Portugal, "suas" is used to refer to the third person (his, her, or their) or to address someone in a very formal manner. To express the common, informal "your," a Portuguese person would naturally use "tuas" (associated with the pronoun "tu").
