הבנק חוסם את כרטיס החיוב בזמן שאנחנו מדווחים על ההונאה.

הבנק means the bank. Hebrew adds ה־ to the beginning of a noun to make it definite.

• בנק = a bank
• הבנק = the bank

Since the sentence refers to a specific bank, Hebrew uses הבנק.

The verb agrees with the subject in gender and number.

Here, the subject is הבנק (the bank), which is grammatically masculine singular in Hebrew, so the verb is:

• חוסם = masculine singular
• חוסמת = feminine singular

So הבנק חוסם is the correct match.

חוסם is the Hebrew present tense form. In Hebrew, the present tense often covers both:

• blocks
• is blocking

So הבנק חוסם את כרטיס החיוב can mean either:

• The bank blocks the debit card
• The bank is blocking the debit card

The exact English translation depends on context. In this sentence, because of בזמן ש... (while...), English usually prefers is blocking or blocks depending on the intended nuance.

את marks a definite direct object.

Here, the direct object is כרטיס החיוב (the debit card), and it is definite, so Hebrew uses את before it:

• הבנק חוסם את כרטיס החיוב

Important points:

• את is usually not translated into English.
• It appears before a direct object when that object is definite.

Compare:

• אני קורא ספר = I read a book
• אני קורא את הספר = I read the book

This is a very common question. כרטיס החיוב is a construct phrase in Hebrew, often called סמיכות.

It literally works like:

• כרטיס = card
• החיוב = the debit / the charge

Together:

• כרטיס החיוב = the debit card

In many Hebrew noun-noun combinations, only the second noun takes ה־ to make the whole phrase definite.

So:

• כרטיס חיוב = a debit card
• כרטיס החיוב = the debit card

You usually do not say הכרטיס החיוב in this structure.

בזמן ש־ means while or at the time that.

So:

• בזמן = during the time / at the time
• שאנחנו = that we

Together:

• בזמן שאנחנו מדווחים = while we are reporting

This is a natural way in Hebrew to introduce an action happening at the same time as another action.

Because ש־ is a very common Hebrew prefix meaning that.

So:

• ש = that
• אנחנו = we
• שאנחנו = that we

Hebrew often attaches short grammatical words as prefixes rather than writing them separately.

Because the subject is אנחנו (we), which is plural.

So the verb must also be plural:

• מדווח = reporting (masculine singular)
• מדווחת = reporting (feminine singular)
• מדווחים = reporting (masculine plural / mixed group)
• מדווחות = reporting (feminine plural)

With אנחנו, Hebrew usually uses:

• מדווחים for a male speaker or mixed group
• מדווחות for an all-female group

So אנחנו מדווחים means we are reporting.

The verb לדווח (to report) is commonly followed by על when you report about something.

So:

• מדווחים על ההונאה = reporting the fraud / reporting about the fraud

Even though English often just says report the fraud, Hebrew normally uses על with this verb.

Other examples:

• לדווח על תאונה = to report an accident
• לדווח על בעיה = to report a problem

Because the base noun is הונאה (fraud) and then Hebrew adds the definite article ה־ to make it the fraud.

So:

• הונאה = fraud
• ההונאה = the fraud

It may look unusual, but it is completely normal in Hebrew when a noun already begins with ה.

Sometimes, yes, depending on context. But the most natural translation here is usually while we are reporting.

• בזמן ש־ most often emphasizes that two actions happen at the same time.
• So it fits while especially well.

Possible translations:

• while we are reporting the fraud
• while we report the fraud
• sometimes when we are reporting the fraud

But while is usually the clearest choice for this sentence.

Yes. The order is very natural:

• הבנק = subject
• חוסם = verb
• את כרטיס החיוב = direct object
• בזמן שאנחנו מדווחים על ההונאה = time clause

So the sentence follows a common Hebrew pattern:

Subject + verb + object + time expression/clause

Hebrew word order is somewhat flexible, but this version sounds neutral and standard.
