When you want to say that something is not working, you can use direct phrases such as 'It is broken,' 'It is out of order,' 'It is malfunctioning,' 'It failed to operate,' or 'It is not performing correctly.' In professional or technical communication, you might state that 'The system has encountered a critical fault' or 'The device is currently inoperative.' These expressions ensure that colleagues or repair technicians immediately understand the nature of the mechanical or software failure in detail.

Expressing that a system is not working can be done effectively across different contexts. In casual conversation, you might say, "It's broken," "It won't turn on," or "It's acting up again." In professional or technical communication, it is much more precise to state, "The unit is experiencing a mechanical malfunction," "The system has become inoperative due to a fault code," or "The application is crashing during startup," which immediately directs attention toward diagnostic troubleshooting.
