Did you know?
- If you are speaking very informally, an Italian might shorten the sense of 'anytime' by using quando vuoi, which literally means 'when you want'.
- The term momento shares a root with the English word 'momentum', both coming from the Latin 'mōmentum' which referred to a small movement of a scale.
- In Italian, the adjective qualsiasi is a 'fixed' form that does not change to plural, even if you were to describe multiple moments.
