הזיכוי הגיע אחרי הכחשת העסקה.

A word-by-word breakdown:

• הזיכוי = the credit / the refund
• הגיע = arrived / came
• אחרי = after
• הכחשת = denial of / disputing of
• העסקה = the transaction / the deal

So the structure is:

• הזיכוי = subject
• הגיע = verb
• אחרי הכחשת העסקה = after the denial/dispute of the transaction

Because הזיכוי is a masculine singular noun.

In the past tense, Hebrew verbs agree with the subject in gender and number:

• הגיע = he arrived / it arrived masculine singular
• הגיעה = she arrived / it arrived feminine singular

Since זיכוי is masculine, the sentence correctly uses הגיע.

This is because of the construct state (called סמיכות in Hebrew).

The basic noun is:

• הכחשה = denial / disputing

But when Hebrew says denial of the transaction, the first noun often changes form and becomes a construct noun:

• הכחשת העסקה = the denial of the transaction

So:

• הכחשה = denial
• הכחשת... = denial of...

This -ת ending is very common with feminine nouns that normally end in -ה.

For example:

• בקשה = request
• בקשת הלקוח = the customer’s request

In a construct phrase, definiteness is usually marked only on the second noun.

So:

• הכחשת עסקה = denial of a transaction
• הכחשת העסקה = denial of the transaction

Even though הכחשת itself does not have ה, the whole phrase is definite because העסקה is definite.

This is a key feature of Hebrew construct chains.

It depends on context, but in this sentence it most naturally means the transaction.

The noun עסקה can mean:

• deal
• transaction
• sometimes business arrangement

Because the sentence also mentions זיכוי (credit/refund), the financial meaning transaction is the most likely one.

So in this context, a native English speaker should probably understand העסקה as the transaction rather than the business.

It can be used, but it is a bit formal and depends on context.

The root is כ־ח־ש, and the verb הכחיש means to deny.

So הכחשת העסקה literally means something like:

• denial of the transaction
• disputing the transaction

In financial language, this can refer to challenging or denying that a transaction was valid, authorized, or recognized.

Depending on the system, company, or bank, other terms might also appear, but grammatically this phrase is perfectly understandable.

Because Hebrew normally does not use a separate word for was in this kind of sentence.

English often says things like:

• The refund arrived after the transaction was disputed.

Hebrew can express the same idea more compactly with a noun phrase:

• אחרי הכחשת העסקה = after the disputing/denial of the transaction

So instead of using a passive clause like was denied, Hebrew here uses a noun: הכחשת.

This kind of nominal style is very common in Hebrew, especially in formal, bureaucratic, or financial language.

Yes. Hebrew could express the idea with a full verbal clause, depending on the exact meaning wanted.

For example, a speaker might say something more clause-like instead of using the noun הכחשת. But the version in your sentence is more compact and formal:

• הזיכוי הגיע אחרי הכחשת העסקה

This sounds somewhat official or administrative, which fits financial contexts well.

So the sentence uses a noun-based structure, not because a verb would be impossible, but because this style is very natural in this kind of context.

Yes. Hebrew word order is fairly flexible.

The given sentence:

• הזיכוי הגיע אחרי הכחשת העסקה

is the most neutral order: subject + verb + time phrase.

But you could also move the time phrase for emphasis:

• אחרי הכחשת העסקה, הזיכוי הגיע

That would mean the same thing, but it puts more focus on after the transaction was disputed/denied.

So the original order is natural and straightforward, but not the only possible one.

A simple transliteration is:

ha-zikui higi’a acharei hakhchashat ha-iska

A few pronunciation notes:

• הזיכוי = ha-zi-KUI
• הגיע = hi-GI-a
• אחרי = a-cha-REI
• הכחשת = hakh-cha-SHAT
• העסקה = ha-is-KA

The stress is usually near the end in several of these words.

Yes. הגיע literally means arrived / came, and Hebrew often uses it naturally for things like:

• a payment
• a refund
• a message
• a package
• a response

So הזיכוי הגיע is a normal way to say that the credit/refund came through or arrived.

In more natural English, depending on context, you might translate it as:

• The refund arrived
• The credit was received
• The refund came through

All of those can match the Hebrew well.
