yIjatlh: DaH vIyajlaw'. ("I think I understand it now.")

When you want to express uncertainty about a verb, add {-law'} to it, 
don't use {Qub}.

If you REALLY wanted to use {Qub}, you'd have to make the thing you 
think the object of your thinking:

    vIyaj 'e' vIQub
    I think that I understand it

Either sentence can still take other sentence parts:

    DaH vIyaj 'e' vIQub
    I think I understand it now

    vIyaj DaH 'e' vIQub
    I now think I understand it

This is true for all sentences-as-objects. But for uncertainty {-law'} 
is better.
