Hi, everyone. My boss needs to know how to say "Yo Perdono" (I Forgive) in Afrikaans. There is no more context. She will use such sentence as the name of a campaign. The important thing is to keep the subject for emphasis, to show that I am the one who forgive, and that I will enjoy the benefits of forgiveness. Behind "I forgive", there's an underlying "I choose to forgive". Google Translate says that this is the sentence in Afrikaans: ek vergewe. I would really appreciate confirmation on this. Thank you in advance.

ek vergewe
I forgive. = Ek vergewe.
I forgive = ek vergewe
Instead of "vergewe" there is also "vergeef", which has a more formal, archaic ring to it, but I wouldn't use it, since it may also be mistaken for a typo for "ek vergeet" (I forget).
