The concept of moment We use it a lot in our language and in close connection with the notion of time.
And this is so because basically a moment is that rather brief period of time, that is, it is characterized precisely by its short duration, on comparison with another of course and that turns out to be longer.
For example, normally the concept of moment is used as a synonym for the concept of instant and vice versa.
So when, for example, we want to tell someone that they must wait a rather short time for something, we use this concept. Please wait in the room and the doctor will attend you in a moment.
We also use it when we want to indicate that we were with someone for a short amount of time. I was at home with mom for a moment but I'm already at work.
But there are also other recurring uses of this concept that are also associated with the idea of time.
When a certain period of time is characterized by being the ideal To develop or do something, it is usual that we use the concept of moment to refer to it, in this way:

The economic conditions of the country they are unbeatables.On the other hand, we use the word moment when we want to refer that something is imposed in time current, that is, in the present. Érica Rivas is the Argentine actress of the moment. Its huge participation in various productions he validates it.
And the other job that we attribute to the word in the language current is for distinguish an instant from our life or from the life of another, past or current. This distinction may have a assessment positive or negative, that is, that moment to which it is specially individualized may stand out for something very good or for something that is bad, which hurts and therefore also stands out.
