Questions & Answers about דף החשבון כולל את התנועה בחשבון.
דף החשבון is a very common Hebrew structure called a construct chain. It means something like the page of the account or the account page/statement page.
In a construct chain:
- the first noun is usually not marked with ה־
- the second noun can carry the definiteness
So דף החשבון means the account page, even though only חשבון has ה־.
Hebrew often prefers this shorter structure over using של.
Because in a construct chain, definiteness is usually shown on the last noun, not the first one.
So:
- דף חשבון = an account page
- דף החשבון = the account page
Even without ה־ on דף, the whole phrase is definite because החשבון is definite.
