[Tlhingan-hol] je pense, donc je suis

<p dir="ltr"><br>
Because today&#39;s KWOTD was {Qub}, @chaQDI posted the sentence {jIQub vaj jIHtaH} to Twitter.</p>
<p dir="ltr">I recognised it immediately as a translation of &quot;je pense, donc je suis&quot;, better known through the Latin &quot;cogito ergo sum&quot;.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Would you use {jIHtaH} for this or just plain {jIH}? I think I would have rendered it as {jIQubmo&#39; jIH}. But I wonder if that wouldn&#39;t look like it was missing the second part of a complex sentence? (Because {jIH} looks like the subject of {jIQubmo&#39;}.)</p>

<p dir="ltr">How would you have translated it?</p>
