Come on! — encouragement, disbelief, or mild impatience.
Urges someone on ("dai, andiamo!"), expresses disbelief ("ma dai!" = no way), and pleads. Tone carries the meaning entirely, and Italians use it constantly.
Imperative of "dare" (to give) — literally "give."
Reading a definition isn't the same as saying it to someone. Lingo Kaiava is a voice tutor set to Italian — it uses dai the way locals do, corrects you in the moment, and never "fixes" the way real people actually talk into textbook Italian.
