Док-станция находится в опенспейсе.

Yes, this is about how Russian expresses location.

Russian usually does not use a present-tense word for is/am/are the way English does. But находится is not just a dummy is — it means is located, is situated, or is found.

So:

• Док-станция находится в опенспейсе. = The docking station is located in the open-plan office.

In more casual speech, Russian can sometimes leave the verb out:

• Док-станция в опенспейсе.

That is understandable, but находится sounds fuller, clearer, and a bit more neutral or formal.

Опенспейсе is in the prepositional case, singular.

After в meaning in for a static location, Russian normally uses the prepositional case:

• в офисе = in the office
• в классе = in the classroom
• в опенспейсе = in the open-plan office

That is why you see:

• dictionary form: опенспейс
• in this sentence: в опенспейсе

Because Russian distinguishes between:

• location → where something is
• motion toward a place → where something is going

So:

• Док-станция находится в опенспейсе.
  = The docking station is in the open-plan office.
  (location → prepositional)

But:

• Я несу док-станцию в опенспейс.
  = I am carrying the docking station into the open-plan office.
  (motion → accusative)

With опенспейс, the accusative looks like the basic form опенспейс, so the contrast is:

• в опенспейсе = in
• в опенспейс = into

It is a loanword from English, and it is fairly common in office/business speech.

In Russian, опенспейс usually refers to an open-plan office or open workspace. It sounds modern and somewhat corporate.

More formal or less English-based alternatives could be things like:

• офис открытого типа
• открытое офисное пространство

But in everyday office Russian, опенспейс is very natural.

Often, yes.

Many borrowed nouns that end in a consonant get treated like regular masculine Russian nouns and decline normally. Опенспейс is a good example:

• опенспейс
• опенспейса
• опенспейсу
• в опенспейсе

So even though it comes from English, Russian speakers often handle it grammatically like an ordinary Russian noun.

Because it is a compound technical noun, and Russian often writes this kind of newer compound with a hyphen.

The second part, станция, is the main noun. The first part, док-, comes from the idea of dock/docking. Together, they form a single technical term.

This kind of spelling is common with modern borrowed compounds, especially in technical and office language.

It is feminine.

The key part is станция, which is a feminine noun, so the whole compound behaves as feminine:

• эта док-станция = this docking station
• новая док-станция = a new docking station

You cannot see the gender from находится, because present-tense verbs in Russian do not show gender. But adjectives and pronouns will.

Yes. Russian word order is flexible.

This sentence:

• Док-станция находится в опенспейсе.

is a neutral way to say it: first the thing, then where it is.

You could also say:

• В опенспейсе находится док-станция.

That puts more emphasis on the location, almost like In the open-plan office, there is a docking station or It is in the open-plan office that the docking station is located.

So the meaning stays very similar, but the emphasis changes.

Because опенспейс is treated as a space you are inside, not a surface you are on.

Russian usually uses:

• в for enclosed spaces, rooms, buildings, areas

  • в офисе
  • в комнате
  • в опенспейсе

• на for surfaces and some fixed idiomatic places

  • на столе = on the table
  • на работе = at work

So в опенспейсе is the natural choice.

A rough English-friendly pronunciation is:

dok-stantsiya nakhoditsya v openspeyse

A few useful sound notes:

• х in находится is like the ch in Scottish loch or German Bach
• ц in станция sounds like ts
• unstressed о is often reduced in real speech, so it may sound less like a clear English o

You do not need perfect pronunciation right away, but those are the main sounds an English speaker usually notices here.
