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

Yes

The word "talheres" is identical in Brazilian and Continental Portuguese regarding its meaning (cutlery/silverware), spelling, and grammatical function. The only differences are phonetic:

• Pronunciation: In Brazil, the "s" at the end is pronounced as a soft "s" (like in "sun"), and the final "e" is typically reduced but remains somewhat audible. In Portugal, the "s" at the end is pronounced as "sh" (sh-sound/palatalization), and the final "e" is much more closed and often becomes almost silent or swallowed.

Brazilian Portuguese Examples

1. Você pode pegar os talheres para mim? (Can you get the cutlery for me?)
2. Eu esqueci os talheres na cozinha. (I forgot the cutlery in the kitchen.)
3. Os talheres estão muito sujos. (The cutlery is very dirty.)
4. Comprei um jogo de talheres novo. (I bought a new cutlery set.)
5. Organize os talheres na gaveta. (Organize the cutlery in the drawer.)
