Questions & Answers about Grazie mille per l'aiuto! Figurati!
What does figurati literally mean here?
It comes from the reflexive verb figurarsi, which means "to imagine." Literally it means "Imagine that!" but it is commonly used as a friendly "Don't mention it!" or "No problem!" to dismiss someone's thanks. It's like saying "Don't even imagine that you owe me a thank you."
Is figurati formal or informal?
It is informal. It uses the tu form of the imperative and attaches the reflexive pronoun ti to the end. If you need to be formal (Lei), you use the pronoun si placed before the verb: Si figuri!
How would you say "No problem!" to a group of people using this verb?
If you are addressing multiple people (voi), you conjugate the imperative for voi and attach the pronoun vi, which gives you figuratevi!
