The German word doch cannot be translated. It is used to emphasise the noun

Er hat doch Recht! - he is right!

ich habe es doch getan! - I did do it!

Answer 2

doch is a very useful word for which there is not an English equivalent. It can be used as "yes it is" or "yes I am" when answering a negative question. That sounds complicated, but an example should help:

Question: Aren't you hungry?

Answer: Oh yes I am!

In German, the answer would be one word: doch.
