I do understand.
He does understand. Like first sentence, can I say second also?
Thank you.

If you meant this

"He do understand."

I would say, its wrong!.

<Not a teacher>
 
What do you mean exactly?
"I do understand" "I do swear in the name of God" I have heard such type of sentences for emphasis. So I genuinely felt doubt that can I say, "He does understand".
Thank you.

You would use it like this:

A: I don't think he understands.

B: I'm sure he does understand.
