Definition

Used to mean 'in its current state' or 'without changes.' It can also suggest that something is already enough or complicated and doesn’t need altering.

Usage & Nuances

Often used to politely refuse extra effort or suggest something should remain unchanged. Common after requests ('Leave it as it is'), or to emphasize something is already sufficient.
