지금의

[Meyna]

Hi peeps, I read this sentence here but don't understand why 의 is added to 지금.
Here's the full sentence-- 왜 내 방을 치워야 해요?
지금의 내 방이 좋아요.

I only know 의 as showing possession but I'm unclear about this one.

Hello, Meyna.

I like my room as it is, or I like my current room as it is. In other words, I'd like to retain my room as it is.

'지금의' could be written as the adjective 'current' in English.

Lee,

아주 감사해요!!!!
So if I want to say 'I like my current house', can I also use 지금의 to say 'Current'? Just wanted to make sure my brain understood it right and used it correctly too

You are right.
나는 지금의 우리 집이 좋아요. (usually talking about my family home)
or 나는 지금의 내 집이 좋아요. (usually talking about my own home)

'의' is likely to be translated as 'of' in English.
Here's a way of understanding the usage:
지금의 우리 집 => My home of this moment
지금 우리 집 => My current home

The previous context says "왜 내 방을 치워야 해요?" It means he or she doesn't want to clear up

his or her room. Thus, it doesn't mean the room's interior design. He or she doesn't want to put things in order

because he or she likes the way it is.
