Breakdown of Служба поддержки приняла претензию.
Questions & Answers about Служба поддержки приняла претензию.
Because the subject, служба, is a feminine singular noun.
In the past tense, Russian verbs agree with the subject in gender and number:
- он принял = he accepted
- она приняла = she accepted
- оно приняло = it accepted
- они приняли = they accepted
Even though служба поддержки means support service or customer support, the head noun is служба, which is feminine, so the verb is приняла.
Because поддержки is in the genitive case. Russian often uses this pattern to express something like X of Y.
So:
- служба = service
- поддержка = support
- служба поддержки = service of support, which naturally means support service
This is a very common Russian structure:
- центр города = city center
- чашка чая = cup of tea
- отдел продаж = sales department
So поддержки is not the subject here. It is dependent on служба.
