Pleasure was mine

[dinha]

If I thank someone for something and the person answer:
" Pleasure was mine !! " does it mean only " you´re welcome" ?
Does it have any special meaning ?

Thanks!

It means there is no need to thank me I enjoyed giving you a present.

There is an old adage; 'tis better to give than to receive'

Since you're from Brasil, dinha, you may find it interesting that in some dialects people say 'Much obliged' to mean 'thank you'.

[Note for non-Portuguese speakers: 'obliged' here = obrigado.]

PPS - [Back on topic]
People usually say 'The pleasure is mine' in response to someone else mentioning 'pleasure'.

'It's been a great pleasure, meeting you at last.'
'The pleasure is [or was] ['all'] mine.'

PS - 'In some dialects' makes it sound rather obscure. It's not. My father used that expression (and so do I sometimes)

Normally we say "the pleasure was (all) mine".

Well I thought it was short for obrigadinha (which is maybe not that common in Brasil, but I've heard it a lot in Portugal). Ah well - another promising guess...
