شاحن الهاتف هنا.

In Arabic, the verb to be is usually not stated in the present tense.

So a sentence like:

شاحن الهاتف هنا

literally looks like:

phone charger here

but it means The phone charger is here.

This is very normal in Arabic.
You only normally see an explicit verb like كان when talking about the past or in certain other structures.

Because شاحن الهاتف is an iḍāfa construction, often called a genitive/possessive phrase.

In an iḍāfa:

• the first noun usually does not take الـ
• the second noun can be definite or indefinite
• the definiteness of the whole phrase depends on the second noun

So here:

• شاحن = charger
• الهاتف = the phone

Together:

• شاحن الهاتف = the phone charger / charger of the phone

Even though شاحن has no الـ, the whole phrase is definite because الهاتف is definite.

Yes. It works as a single noun phrase.

This is one of the most important patterns in Arabic:

• شاحن الهاتف = phone charger
• not two separate ideas like a charger, the phone

The first noun (شاحن) is the thing being identified, and the second noun (الهاتف) tells you what it belongs to or is associated with.

So the sentence divides like this:

• شاحن الهاتف = the phone charger
• هنا = here

شاحن is originally an active participle from the verb related to charging. In many contexts, though, it functions like an ordinary noun meaning charger.

This is very common in Arabic: forms that originally describe a doer of an action can become regular object names.

So although شاحن literally has the pattern of one who charges, in everyday use it commonly means charger.

A careful pronunciation is:

shāḥinu l-hātifi hunā

If you say it in normal speech without full case endings, it is often closer to:

shāḥin il-hātif hunā
or
shāḥin al-hātif hunā

A few pronunciation notes:

• ش = sh
• ح is a deeper h sound from the throat
• هاتف has a long ā sound: hā
• هنا ends with a long ā sound: hunā

In fully vowelled formal Arabic, it would be:

شَاحِنُ الْهَاتِفِ هُنَا

Why?

• شاحنُ is the subject/topic of the nominal sentence, so it is in the nominative
• الهاتفِ is the second part of the iḍāfa, so it is in the genitive
• هنا is an adverb of place and does not change like a normal noun here

In everyday writing, these short vowels are usually omitted, so you normally just see:

شاحن الهاتف هنا

Yes, هنا at the end is very natural and means is here.

The sentence order is:

• noun phrase: شاحن الهاتف
• location: هنا

So it works like:

The phone charger — here

Arabic can sometimes move things around for emphasis, but شاحن الهاتف هنا is the most straightforward neutral order.

You may also hear or see:

هنا شاحن الهاتف

which can sound more like Here is the phone charger or place extra focus on here.

It is definite.

Even though شاحن has no الـ, the whole phrase شاحن الهاتف is definite because the second noun الهاتف is definite.

So this sentence means:

• The phone charger is here

not:

• A phone charger is here

If you wanted an indefinite sense, you would need a different structure, such as something like شاحنُ هاتفٍ in a suitable context.

Yes. Grammatically, both reflect the structure.

But in natural English, the phone charger is usually the best translation.

Arabic iḍāfa often corresponds to English expressions with:

• of
• a noun used before another noun

So:

• شاحن الهاتف = the charger of the phone
• more naturally: the phone charger

Because the first noun in an iḍāfa construction does not take tanwīn.

Compare:

• شاحنٌ = a charger
• شاحنُ الهاتفِ = the phone charger

Once شاحن becomes the first part of an iḍāfa, tanwīn disappears.

This is a key sign that a noun is in an iḍāfa construction.

Not always. شاحن الهاتف is correct and clear in Modern Standard Arabic.

In real-life speech, different Arabic dialects may use slightly different wording, and people may also say things like:

• شاحن الموبايل
• شاحن الجوال

depending on the region and whether they are using dialect rather than strict MSA.

But for MSA, شاحن الهاتف is a perfectly good expression.
