Forgive is more correct, somehow. Probably because it refers to forgiving in present tense, not in past tense. Here, using present tense is more correct.

Forgive - Forgave - Forgiven ... Irregular verb Depending on what you want to say you can use both forgive and forgave. Since you asked °right?° at the end it would be best to use Forgive.. (we are talking right now-present continuous) and you are kind of asking for forgiveness, like "so, you forgive me?" (we are all good now?). On the other hand, if you want to make a conclusion, you would use forgave. "You are talking to me" so it must mean that you "forgave" me for what I have done. It means that this person already forgave you in the past. He/she is not forgiving you in this moment, in the present.

Hi Tiger. forgave = in the past, so "I forgave you" means it happened before now (yesterday, last week, last year) forgive = in the present, so "I forgive you" meant it is happening right now :-)

if you are taking to me, you forgave me! or explain the situation a bit better, please :)
