1. More often than not it means “You’re welcome/Don’t mention it” and can be used as a response to a “thank you”.
2. It can also be used to mean “Please come in” usually with a hand gesture indicating the way into the house or room.
3. When said alongside an empty chair, it becomes “please have a seat”.
4. It sometimes means “after you” when you’re holding the door open for someone.
5. It can be used when you want someone to keep speaking after the both of you started speaking at the same time and then interrupted yourselves (“Please go ahead”).
6. Say it when someone’s mumbling or speaking too fast and you will mean “I beg your pardon” or, more informally, “come again”.
7. A shopkeeper might use “Prego” as an equivalent of “What can I do for you?”.
8. That same shopkeeper might say it again while handing you what you asked for (“Here you go”).
9. And finally, it can be used to grant permission just like “Of course” and “Be my guest” do in English.
