German term or phrase: verstehst du?
zum Beispiel: Ich kann heute nicht kommen, verstehst du?

Japanese translation:Wakaru yo ne?
Explanation:
And I am not very good at German but I can speak Japanese.

Your question means -
I can not come today, you understand?

The answer above is good except for the "wa" which is not needed.

(watashi ga kyou korenai to iu koto ga)
(The fact that I cannot come today)
Wakarimasu ka?
(You understand?)

Or I suppose you want the person to know that you "REALLY can NOT come,"


Hontouni korenai tte wakarimasu yo ne?
(=Really can't come you understand eh?)
You understand that I really can't come today.

The above are all in the formal/polite form ending in "masu." This sounds like it is addressed to a girlfriend. In which case

Informally

Wakaru ka? (You undstand?)
Wakatta ka? (You've understood? A bit brusque)
Wakaru yo ne (You understand eh?)
