I know Carpe Diem is literally translated to "Seize the Day". Can it also mean "Seize the Moment?"

I've tried searching on google and all I found was Carpe Momento. But there's not enough results so I don't think its an accurate saying...

Connotation is the same. Still, Carpe omnia singula puncta temporis (Seize the each single moment of the time) is a bit stronger...



Articulum (accusative of articulus) is perfect to say Seize the (important) moment: Carpe articulum.

I think Carpe Diem has the same connotations as "Seize the moment." Even if it's not a direct translation. Just like how Dolores is a name in Spanish, but it also means pain.

they mean the same thing. Carpe Diem has been adopted as philosophy that translates to live every moment/day like you'll die tomorrow
