Questions & Answers about Климат-контроль работает в ячейке для хранения.

What does климат-контроль mean, and why is it written with a hyphen?

Климат-контроль is a borrowed compound noun, basically the Russian version of climate control.

It is written with a hyphen because many modern borrowed compound terms in Russian keep this structure, especially technical or product-related ones.

In this sentence, климат-контроль is:

• masculine
• singular
• in the nominative case because it is the subject of the sentence

So климат-контроль работает means the climate control works / operates.

Why is the verb работает used here?

Работает is the 3rd person singular present-tense form of работать.

Here it means:

• works
• is working
• operates
• functions

Examples:

• Телефон не работает. = The phone is not working.
• Кондиционер работает хорошо. = The air conditioner works well.

So Климат-контроль работает means The climate control is functioning.
