In American English, 'anytime' is commonly used as a casual, friendly response to 'thank you' (similar to 'no problem' or 'my pleasure'). In Brazilian Portuguese, the equivalent casual responses are 'de nada', 'fico feliz em ajudar', or 'sem problema'. The word reflects American informality and accessibility in social interactions. In Portugal, 'qualquer altura' is preferred over the English loanword.
