{nuq DaQubtaH? yIQIj.} "Explain what you are thinking."
>> Perhabs ask/say {lutHomwIj yIlughmoH} or s.th. like that.

{yIlughmoH} "cause it to be correct" -- or, more simply, "correct it."
I think you misspelled {vIyajbe'}, and your use of commas is a bit
odd. Putting them in the middle of a Sentence as Object construction
disrupts the connection between the sentences, especially when the
second verb is {neH}. When speaking, there usually isn't a pause
there anyway.
