أذونات الجهاز في إعداد الخصوصية.

Not really. It is more naturally understood as a noun phrase or a menu label, not a full sentence.

A full sentence would usually need something like a verb or a clear predication. Here, the phrase works like a heading in an app or settings menu, similar to:

• Device permissions in the privacy setting
• Device permissions under Privacy

So this is the kind of Arabic you often see in interfaces, titles, and menus.

أذونات is the plural of إذن, which means permission.

So:

• إذن = permission
• أذونات = permissions

It is plural because devices usually have more than one permission, such as access to:

• camera
• microphone
• location
• contacts

So أذونات الجهاز means the device permissions.

الجهاز means the device.

In Arabic, this phrase is talking about the permissions belonging to the device as a category or menu item. Arabic often uses the singular in places where English might also use singular, such as:

• device permissions
• phone settings
• account information

So أذونات الجهاز literally means permissions of the device, which sounds natural in Arabic.

This is an iḍāfa structure, often called a genitive construction.

The pattern is:

• أذونات = permissions
• الجهاز = the device

Together:

• أذونات الجهاز = the permissions of the device = device permissions

Important things about iḍāfa:

1. The first noun usually does not take الـ.
2. The second noun can be definite.
3. The whole phrase becomes definite if the second noun is definite.

So even though أذونات does not have الـ, the whole phrase أذونات الجهاز is definite because الجهاز is definite.

في is a preposition meaning in.

So:

• في إعداد الخصوصية = in the privacy setting

It tells you where to find the device permissions, or under which menu/category they appear.

In interface language, في can often be understood as:

• in
• under
• within

depending on context.

إعداد usually means setting, setup, or configuration.

So:

• إعداد الخصوصية = privacy setting

However, learners should know that in many menus and interfaces, Arabic very often uses the plural:

• إعدادات الخصوصية = privacy settings

So إعداد here is singular. That may be intended if the app has one specific privacy setting page or category. But in many real-world interfaces, إعدادات الخصوصية would be the more common wording.

الخصوصية means privacy, and here it has الـ, so it is the privacy in form.

In Arabic, abstract nouns often appear with الـ where English would just say the noun without the. So:

• الخصوصية = privacy / the privacy

In context, إعداد الخصوصية naturally means privacy setting or the privacy setting.

So the الـ here is completely normal.

Because in an iḍāfa construction, the first noun normally does not take الـ.

So you say:

• أذونات الجهاز = the device permissions

not:

• الأذونات الجهاز ❌

The definiteness comes from the second noun, الجهاز. Since الجهاز is definite, the entire phrase أذونات الجهاز is definite.

This is a very important Arabic pattern.

A careful reading would be approximately:

uḏūnāt al-jihāz fī iʿdād al-khuṣūṣiyyah

A few notes:

• أذونات begins with a hamza and is often pronounced uḏūnāt
• الجهاز = al-jihāz
• إعداد has the consonant ع, which English speakers often find difficult
• الخصوصية = al-khuṣūṣiyyah

In normal pause pronunciation, short case endings are usually not pronounced.

Yes, in fully vocalized formal Arabic, there would be grammatical case endings, but they are usually not written in everyday text.

A possible fully marked form is:

أُذوناتُ الجهازِ في إعدادِ الخصوصيةِ

Why?

• أذوناتُ: could be nominative if this is treated as a heading or standalone phrase
• الجهازِ: genitive because it is the second part of an iḍāfa
• إعدادِ: genitive because it comes after في
• الخصوصيةِ: genitive because it is the second part of another iḍāfa

In normal modern writing, these endings are omitted.

Yes, and that may sound more natural in many contexts.

Compare:

• في إعداد الخصوصية = in the privacy setting
• في إعدادات الخصوصية = in the privacy settings

If the meaning is a menu section in a phone or app, the plural إعدادات الخصوصية is often more idiomatic.

So the original phrase is understandable, but إعدادات الخصوصية may be the wording learners are more likely to encounter.
