Questions & Answers about שירות הלקוחות בודק תנועה חשודה בחשבון.
This is a Hebrew construct chain (סמיכות): שירות + הלקוחות.
Literally, it is something like service of the customers, but in natural English we usually say customer service.
So:
- שירות = service
- לקוחות = customers
- שירות הלקוחות = customer service / the customer service department
This kind of noun+noun structure is very common in Hebrew.
In a construct chain, the definiteness of the whole phrase is usually shown on the second noun.
So:
- לקוחות = customers
- הלקוחות = the customers
Because the second word is definite, the whole phrase שירות הלקוחות becomes definite too.
That is why Hebrew says שירות הלקוחות, not usually השירות הלקוחות.
In English, this may still be translated simply as customer service, even though the Hebrew phrase is grammatically definite.
