Me da.
He/she gives me....
Dame.... [tú]
informal command: give me
When you see the pronoun attached to the end of the word in Spanish, the word must be either a command, a gerundio, or a verb infinitive. In this case the word is a command.
Well, that's not all of it, me da can also mean give me it's just not in command form. Dame un vaso de agua = Tu informal command give me a glass of water. Déme un vaso de agua = Usted command form. Give me a glass of water. Me da un vaso de agua = Usted form, give me a glass of water. This is a great way to ask for it at a restaurant. Me das un vaso de agua = Tu form, non command give me a glass of water.
So, me da = he/she gives me OR usted you give me and can be used to order food or whatever and mean "give me". I think that is what you were referring. Gracias.
