"Do you know it? Something which I don't know?" It's just as ungrammatical
as it is in English. You cannot change the word order. It would be
understood, as you understand the English, but it's now broken up into
sentence fragments. For a complete sentence, you need to say the first
sentence above.
> with or without the above comma.
Makes no difference.
