Do I understand right? vs Am I understand right?

The correct phrase is "Do I understand right?" The use of "do" as an auxiliary verb is appropriate in this context to form a question in the present simple tense. "Am I understand right?" is incorrect because the verb "understand" should be in the base form after the auxiliary verb "am."
