"I recently understood that I'm sad if there's not enough sour tea."
Don't forget to conjugate your verbs: That should be {jI'IQ} "I'm sad". If
you're emphasizing the pronoun, you still have to conjugate the
verb: {jI'IQ jIH} "*I* am sad. As for me, I'm sad. I (of all people!) am
sad."
Also, I'm not sure I understand what you mean by {yapHa'}. {yapbe'} "not
enough" is fine.

Sour tea may actually work better in this scene:
Hoch vor Dargh wIb
Sour tea cures everything. CK
including perhaps sadness. <g>
