Can someone explain to me the difference between using "dele" and "deme" in Spanish? (I cannot put in the accent marks)

Dele un boligrafo

Deme un paraguas

What is the difference?

The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
Annie, "déle" means "give (it)to him/her" and "déme" means "give (it) to me" in polite speech, someone you would call "usted".
The difference talking to a friend you call "tú" would be "dale un bolígrafo" and ""dame un paraguas".
Ok? :D
