إعداد الخصوصية وأذونات الجهاز في الحساب.

Not really. إعداد الخصوصية وأذونات الجهاز في الحساب is best understood as a noun phrase, not a complete sentence with a verb. It sounds like a menu item, section title, or heading in an app or website.

In English, interface text often works the same way:

• Privacy settings
• Account security
• Device permissions

So this Arabic phrase is normal as a label, even without a verb.

Here, إعداد is a noun, not a verb. It is a verbal noun (called a maṣdar) from the verb أَعَدَّ meaning to prepare / set up / configure.

In tech and interface language, إعداد can refer to a setting or configuration.

So in this phrase, إعداد الخصوصية means something like:

• the privacy setting
• privacy configuration

A learner should note that although it comes from a verb, here it behaves fully like a noun.

That is a very natural question.

Usually, for settings in the plural, Arabic commonly uses إعدادات. For example:

• إعدادات الهاتف = phone settings
• إعدادات الخصوصية = privacy settings

So if you were expecting privacy settings, إعدادات الخصوصية would be very common.

With إعداد الخصوصية, the word is singular, so it more literally suggests:

• privacy setting
• privacy configuration
• setting up privacy depending on context

In interface text, singular forms are sometimes used as headings or shorthand, but إعدادات الخصوصية is the more common plural expression for privacy settings.

الخصوصية means privacy, and here it has the definite article الـ, so literally it is the privacy.

This happens because Arabic often uses the iḍāfa structure, where two nouns are linked:

• إعداد الخصوصية

Literally: setting of the privacy

In Arabic, the second noun in an iḍāfa can be definite, and that makes the whole phrase definite in meaning.

So:

• إعداد الخصوصية = the privacy setting / privacy setting

Even though English usually does not say the privacy in this kind of phrase, Arabic does.

This is also an iḍāfa construction.

• أذونات = permissions
• الجهاز = the device

Together:

• أذونات الجهاز = the device’s permissions or device permissions

This is the normal Arabic way to express possession or close noun relationships. Instead of saying something like permissions for the device, Arabic often just puts the two nouns together:

• أذونات الجهاز

So the word order is the reverse of natural English:

• Arabic: permissions of the device
• English: device permissions

Because it means permissions, not permission.

The singular is:

• إذن = permission

A common plural is:

• أذونات = permissions

In device or app language, plural makes sense because there are usually multiple permissions, such as:

• camera
• microphone
• location
• contacts

So أذونات الجهاز naturally means the device permissions.

Most likely, yes.

• في = in
• الحساب = the account

So في الحساب means in the account or within the account.

In context, it probably applies to the whole phrase:

• إعداد الخصوصية وأذونات الجهاز في الحساب = privacy setting(s) and device permissions in the account

In a UI, this often means these settings are found under the account section or are related to your account.

Because Arabic does not always repeat the definite article in the same way English might expect.

• و = and
• أذونات الجهاز = device permissions

So:

• إعداد الخصوصية وأذونات الجهاز means
• privacy setting(s) and device permissions

The conjunction و simply joins the two noun phrases. Arabic does not need a separate word like the before the second phrase unless the grammar of that phrase itself requires it. Here, أذونات is the first word of an iḍāfa, so it normally does not take الـ.

Normally, no.

In standard iḍāfa:

• the first noun does not take الـ
• the second noun may be definite or indefinite

So these are correct:

• إعداد الخصوصية
• أذونات الجهاز

But forms like:

• الإعداد الخصوصية
• الأذونات الجهاز

would be wrong as iḍāfa constructions.

This is one of the most important patterns for learners to recognize in Arabic.

A careful pronunciation would be approximately:

ʾiʿdād al-khuṣūṣiyyah wa-ʾudhūnāt al-jihāz fī al-ḥisāb

A few notes:

• إعداد begins with a hamza: ʾi...
• خصوصية has the emphatic ṣ sound in خُصوصية
• أذونات begins with a hamza too
• الجهاز is al-jihāz
• الحساب is al-ḥisāb

In normal speech, short case endings are usually not pronounced.

A possible fully vowelled form is:

إِعْدَادُ الْخُصُوصِيَّةِ وَأُذُونَاتُ الْجِهَازِ فِي الْحِسَابِ

However, in real-world writing, especially in tech interfaces, Arabic is usually written without full vowels:

• إعداد الخصوصية وأذونات الجهاز في الحساب

Also, if this is just a heading and not part of a larger sentence, the final case endings are often not important in practice for learners at this stage.

Yes. In many tech contexts, a more common wording would be:

• إعدادات الخصوصية وأذونات الجهاز في الحساب

That uses إعدادات instead of إعداد, which more clearly gives the sense of settings in the plural.

So:

• إعداد الخصوصية = more like privacy setting / privacy configuration
• إعدادات الخصوصية = more naturally privacy settings

Both can be understandable in context, but إعدادات الخصوصية is often what learners will see more frequently in apps and websites.
