Hi Hasan,

You won't say -

Ne donne pas à moi!

in French, you might hear a very young child getting to grips with grammar say it, but it is not correct.

I hope this helps!

Ne me le donne pas. — Don’t give it to me.

Ne le donne pas à Susanne. — Don’t give it to Susanne.

Ne le donne pas à moi.(is this example correct)
