Cultural Note
Imagina (literally 'imagine!') is a quintessentially Brazilian way to say 'you're welcome' or 'no problem'. It's warm and dismissive of any inconvenience. Often shortened to 'magina!' in very casual speech. This usage is not common in Portugal, where you'd hear 'não tem de quê' instead.
