"De prisa" means "quickly".

"Darse prisa" means "to hurry up". What you have is it conjugated in its tú imperative form.

More or less. "Deprisa / de prisa" means " quickly, and it is an adverb; "date prisa" means" "hurry up" (literally, "give hurry"), and it is a verbal phrase.

De prisa (or deprisa) adv. m. Quickly, speedily and promptly.

darse prisa, to hurry up

- so 'date prisa' = a command to hurry (yourself) up (tú form)smile
